78abd32074 wl1271: Add handling for failing hardware scan command
Currently, the driver does not handle a failing hardware command to scan in
any way - effectively, the scan machine will jam until the driver is shut down,
and future scan requests will just return -EBUSY to user space, resulting in
a type of busy-loop. The same problem occurs if the firmware fails to deliver
the scan completion event - add timeout for this.

c454f1d9a8 wl1271: Move scan complete invocation into work function
The current scan implementation can jam, if the scan request ends up
containing no work. This can especially happen if there is a scan request
with only 11a band channels for HW that does not support 11a.

08688d6b1a wl1271: rewritten scanning code
This patch is a complete rewrite of the scanning code.  It now includes a
state machine to scan all four possible sets of channels independently:
2.4GHz active, 2.4GHz passive, 5GHz active and 5GHz passive.  The wl1271
firmware doesn't allow these sets to be mixed, so up to several scan commands
have to be issued.  This patch also allows scanning more than 24 channels per
set, by breaking the sets into smaller parts if needed (the firmware can scan
a maximum of 24 channels at a time).

Previously, the scanning code was erroneously scanning all channels possible
actively, not complying with the CRDA values.  This is also fixed with this
patch.

34dd2aaac4 wl1271: moved scan operations to a separate file
The scanning code is going to get a bit more complex, with proper support for
active/passive scans together with 2.4GHz and 5GHz.  In the future, also a
new type of scan (periodic scan) will be added.  When all this is
implemented, the code is going to be much more complex, so we'd better
separate it into a separate file.

This patch doesn't have any impact on functionality.
