This patch moves all firmware load responsibility into the interface-specific
code and gets rid of the firmware pointer in the generic card structure. It
also removes 3 fairly unecessary callbacks: hw_register_dev, hw_unregister_dev,
and hw_prog_firmware. It also makes the init sequence from interface
probe functions more logical, as there are paired add/remove and start/stop
calls into generic libertas code.
Because the USB driver code uses the same TX URB callback for both firmware
upload (where the generic libertas structure isn't initialized yet) and for
normal operation (where it is), some bits of USB code have to deal with
'priv' being NULL. All USB firmware upload bits have been changed to not
require 'priv' at all, but simply the USB card structure.

Some functions where declared in header files, but used only once. They are
now static functions.
After doing this, I found out that some functions weren't used at all. I
removed this dead code.

Firmware download is quite different for different hardware. The SDIO and CF
cards have two flat files that need to be downloaded, whereas the USB driver
needs only one file, but with an internal structure.
The code that handles this (USB only) structured file is currently in fw.c.
This patch moves this code into if_usb.c. The remaining functions in fw.c
have not much to do with firmware, they are various card- and network-stack
initialisation functions. I've moved them into main.c.

Remove unused/duplicated fields and consolidate static data rate arrays,
for example the libertas_supported_rates[] and datarates[] arrays in
the bss_descriptor structure, and the libertas_supported_rates field
in the wlan_adapter structure.
Introduce libertas_fw_index_to_data_rate and libertas_data_rate_to_fw_index
functions and use them everywhere firmware requires a rate index rather
than a rate array.
The firmware requires the 4 basic rates to have the MSB set, but most
other stuff doesn't, like WEXT and mesh ioctls. Therefore, only set the MSB
on basic rates when pushing rate arrays to firmware instead of doing a ton
of (rate & 0x7f) everywhere.

Move usage of SET_NETDEV_DEV into common code since it has nothing
to do with bus-specific devices. Also fixes a bug where the mesh
device was getting SET_NETDEV_DEV called after register_netdevice,
resulting in no 'device' link in /sys/class/net/mshX/.

* add CONFIG_LIBERTAS to Kconfig
* remove global variable libertas_fw_name, the USB module might want to
use a different default FW name than the CF module, so libertas_fw_name
is now local to if_usb.c
* exported some symbols as GPL

Split wlan_add_card() into a part that just setups kernel parameters and
into the function libertas_activate_card(), which will implizitly use
hardware functions by the started thread.
This allows us later to do something like this:
priv = libertas_add_card();
priv->hw_command_to_host = if_usb_command_to_host;
priv->hw_xxxx = if_usb_xxxx;
priv->hw_yyyy = if_usb_yyyy;
wlan_activate_card()
and of course the CF driver can set it's own functions.

In libertas_process_rxed_packet() and process_rxed_802_11_packet() the
skb is dereferenced after being passed to netif_rx (called from
libertas_upload_rx_packet). Spotted by Coverity (1658, 1659).
Also, libertas_upload_rx_packet() unconditionally returns 0 so the error
check is dead code - might as well take it out and change the signature.
