Family 8000 products has 2 embedded processors, the first
known as LMAC (lower MAC) and implements the functionality from
previous products, the second one is known as UMAC (upper MAC)
and is used mainly for driver offloads as well as new features.
The UMAC is typically “less” real-time than the LMAC and is used
for higher level controls.
The UMAC's code/data size is estimated to be in the mega-byte arena,
taking into account the code it needs to replace in the driver and
the set of new features.
In order to allow the UMAC to execute code that is bigger than its code
memory, we allow the UMAC embedded processor to page out code pages on
DRAM.
When the device is master on the bus(PCI) the driver saves the UMAC's
image pages in blocks of 32K in the DRAM and sends the layout of the
pages to the FW. The FW can load / unload the pages on its own.
The driver can support up to 1 MB of pages.
Add paging mechanism for the UMAC on PCI in order to allow the program
to use a larger virtual space while using less physical memory on the
device.

TCP software implementation on the host requires extensive computing
power. Offloading even some of the TCP/IP stack to the NIC might save
a significant overhead. In order to enable this feature on our hw,
we need to configure it first. Once done, we mark this capability,
to be advertised later to the OS via ieee80211_register_hw.
The driver Rx indications for TCP Checksum is integrated within the
standard Rx status. The driver responds to those indications as follows:
If the frame was tested by hw and checksum ok report CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
Otherwise, report CHECKSUM_NONE.

The firmware debug infrastructure allows the user to
provide a firmware that will toggle a few registers to
configure the debugging capabilities.
On certain devices, certain operations are forbidden.
Executing a forbidden operation will cause the hardware to
die in a way that only driver unload / load will bring it
back to life.
Fortunately, there is a way to know in advance if those
operations will be accepted by the device. This is where
the new PRPH_BLOCKBIT operation plays its role. If the bit
X from PRPH register Y is set, then we should prevent any
further register configuration. When that happens, drop a
line in the kernel log since this is really an error state:
the user won't have his device configured as he expected.
Add operations that will be used in the future:
INDIRECT_ASSIGN, INDIRECT_SETBIT, and INDIRECT_CLEARBIT.
Other debugging configurations (such as destination
configuration for the monitor) will take place in any case.

As the firmware is slowly running out of command IDs and grouping of
commands is desirable anyway, the firmware is extending the command
header from 4 bytes to 8 bytes to introduce a group (in place of the
former flags field, since that's always 0 on commands and thus can
be easily used to distinguish between the two.
In order to support this most easily in the driver widen the command
command ID used in the command sending functions and encode the new
values (group and version) in the ID. That way existing code doesn't
have to be changed (since the higher bits are 0 automatically) and
newer code can easily use the new ID generation function to create a
value to use in place of just the command ID.

Currently, loading the firmware fails when it has higher API or CAPA
bits than the driver supports. That's an issue with integration.
At the same time, actually using api[0] and capa[0] will become
confusing when we also have api[1] and capa[1], and it's almost
certain that we'll mix up the bits and use the bits for api[1] with
api[0] by accident.
Avoid all this by translating the API/CAPA bits to the regular kernel
test_bit() format, and also providing wrapper functions. Also use the
__bitwise__ facility of sparse to check that we're testing the right
one.

The firmware doesn't relate the scan to a vif. The scan is
run by a separate entity called auxiliary MAC (aka AUX MAC).
This AUX MAC needs to get Tx power limitations that are
not applied on a specific vif, but on the device as a whole.
This can be implemented by using the minimum of all the
values set by the user for all the MACs. But then we need
to ignore the limitations that come from the AP or
regulatory for a specific vif: a specific vif might have
regulatory limitations because of the channel is works on.
This limit is irrelevant for the AUX MAC.
Use the new API from mac80211: the user_power_level in
bss_conf to achieve this.
Firmware -13.ucode has already moved to this API.
