iwlwifi: mvm: reflect TDLS pm state in mvmvif->pm_enabled
When entering D0i3, the MVM mutex cannot be grabbed. This interferes
with the calculation of the number of connected TDLS stations during
the setup of the power cmd.
The goal is to disable power saving for all vifs while any TDLS station
is connected. For this purpose it is enough to keep the pm_enabled
member of all mvmvifs as false. An update of the power state already
occurs when a TDLS station is added/removed, so the values are correctly
updated.
We don't need to acquire MAC access for each access, it
makes much more sense to keep the MAC access. This speeds
up the Tx DMA stop flow significantly.
Moreover, if one channel can't be stopped, stop the others
but don't poll for them to avoid being stuck there for a
long time.
This solves a situation in which we were stuck in that flow
for way too long with a spinlock held which led to a kernel
panic.

of triggers: start and stop. Start triggers can start a
specific configuration. The stop triggers will be able to
kick the collection of the data with the currently running

the .ucode file - just like the configuration.
In the next patches, I'll add triggers in the code.

scripts/gdb: ignore byte-compiled python files
Using the gdb scripts leaves byte-compiled python files in the scripts/
directory. These should be ignored by git.

I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled
against python 3.3) but there were several errors.
I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I
tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod).
Main issues that needed to be resolved:
* In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is
__next__() instead (so let's just add both).
* In older python versions there was an implicit conversion
in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format())
where it was converting the object to str first and then
calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so
we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which
we need to keep this behavior.
* In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object
which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string
methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in
python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview
and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3.
This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python
3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a
reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version
checks etc).
