[PATCH 0/4] rtl818x: port fixes from rtl8187se merge process

[andrea merello]

While working on rtl818x driver for adding rtl8187se support I have
made some fixes and improvements unrelated to rtl8187se support itself.

In this first patch set I include the following four changes:

andrea.merello (4):
  In rtl8180/rtl8187 drivers, few register bit definitions have
    misleading names. Fix them
  Add error check for pci_map_single return value in rtl8180 RX path
  Add error check for pci_map_single return value in rtl8180 TX path
  Write rtl8180 beacon interval register when beacon interval changes

[PATCH 1/4] In rtl8180/rtl8187 drivers, few register bit definitions have misleading names. Fix them

[andrea merello]

From: "andrea.merello" <andrea.merello@gmail.com>

- names of form FOOBAR_SHIFT, suggesting they should be used as
  shift offset, for example
  reg |= (1 << ENABLE_FOO_SHIFT).

  However they are actually defined as (1 << x) and thus they are
  used (correctly) like
  reg |= ENABLE_FOO_SHIFT;

- RTL818X_TX_CONF_HW_SEQNUM  that actually means _disable_ hardware
  sequence number

This patch kills the misleading _SHIFT suffix and changes
RTL818X_TX_CONF_HW_SEQNUM with RTL818X_TX_CONF_SW_SEQNUM

[PATCH 2/4] Add error check for pci_map_single return value in rtl8180 RX path

[andrea merello]

From: "andrea.merello" <andrea.merello@gmail.com>

In original code the old RX DMA buffer is unmapped and processed and at the end
of the isr a new buffer is mapped with pci_map_single and attached to the RX
descriptor.

If pci_map_single fails then the RX descriptor remains with no valid DMA buffer
attached.
In this condition the DMA will target where it shouldn't with obvious evil
consequences.

Simply avoiding re-arming the descriptor will prevent buggy DMA but it will
result soon in RX stuck.

This patch move the DMA mapping of the new buffer at the beginning of the ISR
(and it adds error check for pci_map_single success/fail).

If the DMA mapping fails then we do not unmap the old buffer and we re-arm the
descriptor without processing it, with the old DMA buffer still attached.

In this way we lose the currently RX-ed packet, but whenever next calls to
pci_map_single will succeed again,then the RX process will go on without stuck.

I have no way to test this patch, but it looks OK.

[PATCH 3/4] Add error check for pci_map_single return value in rtl8180 TX path

[andrea merello]

From: "andrea.merello" <andrea.merello@gmail.com>

Orignal code will not detect a DMA mapping failure, causing the HW
to attempt a DMA from an invalid address.

This patch add the error check and eventually simply drops the TX
packet if we can't map it for DMA.

This code is standard for recovery from an error in pci_map_single().

[PATCH 4/4] Write beacon interval register when beacon interval changes

[andrea merello]

From: "andrea.merello" <andrea.merello@gmail.com>

HW Specifications says this register has to be written whenever the NIC joins
(or creates) a network (BSS and IBSS).

I suspect that not writing the beacon interval register is probably not a
big issue (probably related to functions not used in the driver right now).
Possibly power-save and HW beaconing.
But I'm not sure it is only needed for that purposes..

On the other hand I'm sure writing it will not hurt anyway.

This patch adds register write on beacon interval changes.
