For housekeeping and watchdog tasks a workqueue is created. The
central workqueue is not used to prevent crashes creates by bugs.
It might be changed, when the housekeeping is stabilized.

Checking whether a mutex is not locked directly before
mutex_lock() is called, doesn't make sense. The whole point of
mutex_lock() is to block, if the mutex is locked.

In bcm43xx-softmac, the bcm43xx_stats struct contains a variable that

This patch updates the PHY initialization code for bcm43xx-softmac
to conform with recent changes in the clean-room specs at
http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net. Mostly, these changes implement
the sequence needed for chips with GPHY revision 8; however, the
patch also corrects a typo in one address, and some parts that were
missing from the spec when the initial coding was done.

This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog :
o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1)
o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more
o long/short retry
This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean
Tourrilhes. I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize
future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor).

ql3xxx_probe() does ioremap and stores result in ->mem_map_registers.
On failure exit it does iounmap() of the same thing.
OTOH, ql3xxx_remove() does iounmap() of ->mmap_virt_base which is
(a) never assigned and
(b) never used other than in that iounmap() call.

At stage 2 modpost utility is used to check modules. In case of unresolved
symbols modpost only prints warning.
IMHO it is a good idea to fail compilation process in case of unresolved
symbols (at least in modules coming with kernel), since usually such errors
are left unnoticed, but kernel modules are broken.
- new option '-w' is added to modpost:
if option is specified, modpost only warns about unresolved symbols
- modpost is called with '-w' for external modules in Makefile.modpost
