Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The will cause several issues: - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or control path. - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device watchdog. - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash when tso is disabled for lower device. Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2 forwarding transmission. With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission. In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it provides a necessary synchronization method.

This patch adds a driver workaround for a HW issue. A race condition in the HW results in missing interrupts, which can be avoided by a read/write with the ISR register. All chips in the AR9002 series are affected by this bug - AR9003 and above do not have this problem.

mac80211_hwsim was crashing when receiving tx information from user space. Crash happens because txi->rate_driver_data[0] is pointing to a non valid memory address. This code path is only used by wmediumd and wmediumd doesn't provide multiple channel support, so we can pass the channel struct (data2->channel) directly to mac80211_hwsim_monitor_ack function.

When not aggregating packets, fi->framelen should be passed in as length to calculate the duration. Before the tx path rework, ath_tx_fill_desc was called for either one aggregate, or one single frame, with the length of the packet or the aggregate as a parameter. After the rework, ath_tx_sched_aggr can pass a burst of single frames to ath_tx_fill_desc and sets len=0. Fix broken duration calculation by overriding the length in ath_tx_fill_desc before passing it to ath_buf_set_rate.

Building brcmfmac for sparc64 gave the following warning:
CC [M] drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/bcmsdh_sdmmc.o
bcmsdh_sdmmc.c: In function 'brcmf_sdioh_request_byte':
bcmsdh_sdmmc.c:89:6: warning: 'err_ret' may be used uninitialized
in this function [-Wuninitialized]
Inspecting the code it indeed had a path of execution in
which the return value was used uninitialized. This patch
fixes that code path.
