There is a spelling mistake in a dev_warn message. Fix it.

Finish to fill struct ieee80211_ops with necessary callbacks. Driver is
now ready to be registered to mac80211.

Chip can make foreground scan or background, but both can't be mixed in
same request. So, we need to split each mac80211 requests into multiple
HIF requests.

Again, this task is more complex than it should since driver try to
handle itself power saving of stations.

Three things make this task more complex than it should:
- Chip necessitate to associate a link-id to each station. It is same
thing than association ID but, using 8 bits only.
- Rate policy is sent separately from Tx frames
- Driver try to handle itself power saving of stations and multicast
data

Add traces when debug events happen and allow to ask internal
information to chip.
These features work independently from mac80211.

A few tasks remain to be done in order to finish chip initial
configuration:
- configure chip to use multi-tx confirmation (speed up data
transfer)
- configure chip to use wake-up feature (save power consumption
during runtime)
- set hardware configuration (clocks, RF, pinout, etc...) using a
Platform Data Set (PDS) file
On release, driver completely shutdown the chip to save power
consumption.
Documentation about PDS and PDS data for sample boards are available
here[1]. One day, PDS data may find a place in device tree but,
currently, PDS is too much linked with firmware to allowing that.
This patch also add "send_pds" file in debugfs to be able to dynamically
change PDS (only for debug, of course).

Chip support encryption of the link between host and chip. This feature
is called "secure link". Driver code on github[1] support it. However,
it relies on mbedtls for cryptographic functions. So, I decided to not
import this feature in current patch. However, in order to keep code
synchronized between github and kernel, I imported all code related to
this feature, even if most of it is just no-op.

Chip has multiple input buffers and can handle multiple 802.11 frames
in parallel. However, other HIF command must be sent sequentially.
wsm_send_cmd() handles these requests.
This commit also add send_hif_cmd in debugfs. This file allows to send
arbitrary commands to chip. It can be used for debug and testing.

Once firmware is loaded, it send a first indication to host. This
indication signalize that host can start to communicate with firmware.
In add, it contains information about chip and firmware (MAC addresses,
firmware version, etc...).
