mac80211: allow re-open the blocked peer link in mesh
Peer link which is blocked using the "iw mesh0 station
set <MAC addr> plink_action block" is previously not able
to re-open using "iw mesh0 station set <MAC addr>
plink_action open". This patch is intended to solve this.
If the station plink state remains at OPN_SNT once open,
try block and open again should solve this problem.

mac80211: handle power constraint/country IE better
Currently, mac80211 uses the power constraint IE, and reduces
the regulatory max TX power by it. This can cause issues if
the AP is advertising a large power constraint value matching
a high TX power in its country IE, for example in this case:
...
Country: US Environment: Indoor/Outdoor
...
Channels [157 - 157] @ 30 dBm
...
Power constraint: 13 dB
...
What happened here is that our local regulatory TX power is
15 dBm, and gets reduced by 13 dB so we end up with only
2 dBm effective TX power, which is way too low.
Instead, handle the country IE/power constraint IE combined
and restrict our TX power to the max of the regulatory power
and the maximum power advertised by the AP, in this case
17 dBm (= 30 dBm - 13 dB).
Also print a message when this happens to let the user know
and help us debug issues with it.

libertas: set mac control synchronously during init
CMD_MAC_CONTROL is currently sent async to the firmware, and is sent
from the lbs_setup_firmware() path during device init.
This means that device init can complete with commands pending, and
the if_sdio driver will sometimes power down the device (after init)
with this command still pending.
This was causing an occasional spurious command timeout after init,
leading to a device reset.
Fix this by making CMD_MAC_CONTROL synchronous when called from the

"adapter->bss_prio_tbl[j].bss_prio_head" points to linked list of

supposed to point to next interface every time the routine for
dequeuing the packet is called. This ensures that each interface
gets fair chance.
Currently we have AP and station interfaces with priority '0'.
Therefore "adapter->bss_prio_tbl[0].bss_prio_cur" should
alternately point to AP and station nodes. Since "bss_prio_cur"
is not correctly updated, for each packet picked for AP, two
packets are picked for station interface.
This patch fixes the problem by correctly updating "bss_prio_cur".
