<title>mac80211: add time synchronisation with BSS for assoc</title>

<content type='text'>
Some drivers (iwlegacy, iwlwifi and rt2x00) today use the
bss_conf.last_tsf value. By itself though that value is
completely worthless since it may be ancient. What really
is needed is synchronisation between some device time and
the TSF.

To clarify this, rename bss_conf.last_tsf to sync_tsf and
add sync_device_ts which is obtained from rx_status which
gets a new field device_timestamp for this purpose. This
is intentionally not using the mactime field since that
is used for other things and in IBSS is expected to sync
with the IBSS's TSF which isn't necessarily true for the
device timestamp.

Also, since we have the information and it's useful even
before the connection has been established, give all the
timing details to the driver before authenticating.

This value is not really very useful by itself,
yet some drivers (including iwlwifi until I can
figure out what it should do) use it. At least
rename it to "last_tsf" to indicate the meaning
and add a note that it may be really old.

I suspect the value may become useful combined
with the rx_status-&gt;mactime, but we don't (yet)
store that value and pass it to the driver.

The USB drivers don't support automatically waking up when in powersaving mode,
add a work object which will wakeup the device in time to receive the next beacon.
Based on that beacon, we either go back into powersaving mode, or we remain awake
to receive the buffered frames for our station.

Some part of the code, especially rt2x00lib_find_ie and rt2x00lib_rxdone_check_ps
are inspired on the code from carl9170.

<title>rt2x00: Implement get_antenna and set_antenna callback functions</title>

<content type='text'>
Implement the get_antenna and set_antenna callback functions, which will
allow clients to control the antenna for all non-11n hardware (Antenna handling
in rt2800 is still a bit magical, so we can't use the set_antenna for those drivers
yet).

To best support the set_antenna callback some modifications are needed in the
diversity handling. We should never look at the default antenna settings to determine
if software diversity is enabled. Instead we should set the diversity flag when
possible, which will allow the link_tuner to automatically pick up the tuning.

The two functions that are in rt2x00ht.c can be much better placed
closer to the places where the call-sites of these functions are (one
in rt2x00config.c and one in rt2x00queue.c) allowing us to make these
functions static.
Also, conditional compilations doesn't seem to be necessary anymore as
802.11n support is quite common nowadays.

This makes the code a bit easier readable and searchable.
