Fix ieee80211_radiotap(9) usage in wireless drivers:

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.

- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.

Tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (urtw(4)), STA mode.

Introduce bwn(4) support for the bhnd(4) bus.

Currently, bwn(4) relies on the siba_bwn(4) bus driver to provide support
for the on-chip SSB interconnect found in Broadcom's older PCI(e) Wi-Fi
adapters. Non-PCI Wi-Fi adapters, as well as the newer BCMA interconnect
found in post-2009 Broadcom Wi-Fi hardware, are not supported by
siba_bwn(4).

The bhnd(4) bus driver (also used by the FreeBSD/MIPS Broadcom port)
provides a unified kernel interface to a superset of the hardware supported
by siba_bwn; by attaching bwn(4) via bhnd(4), we can support both modern
PCI(e) Wi-Fi devices based on the BCMA backplane interconnect, as well as
Broadcom MIPS WiSoCs that include a D11 MAC core directly attached to their
SSB or BCMA backplane.

This diff introduces opt-in bwn(4) support for bhnd(4) by providing:

- A small bwn(4) driver subclass, if_bwn_bhnd, that attaches via
bhnd(4) instead of siba_bwn(4).
- A bhndb(4)-based PCI host bridge driver, if_bwn_pci, that optionally
probes at a higher priority than the siba_bwn(4) PCI driver.
- A set of compatibility shims that perform translation of bwn(4)'s
siba_bwn function calls into their bhnd(9) API equivalents when bwn(4)
is attached via a bhnd(4) bus parent. When bwn(4) is attached via
siba_bwn(4), all siba_bwn function calls are simply passed through to
their original implementations.

To test bwn(4) with bhnd(4), place the following lines in loader.conf(5):

hw.bwn_pci.preferred="1"

if_bwn_pci_load="YES
bwn_v4_ucode_load="YES"
bwn_v4_lp_ucode_load="YES"

To verify that bwn(4) is using bhnd(4), you can check dmesg:

bwn0: <Broadcom 802.11 MAC/PHY/Radio, rev 15> ... on bhnd0

... or devinfo(8):

pcib2
pci2
bwn_pci0
bhndb0
bhnd0
bwn0
...

bwn(4)/bhnd(4) has been tested for regressions with most chipsets currently
supported by bwn(4), including:

- BCM4312
- BCM4318
- BCM4321

With minimal changes to the DMA code (not included in this commit), I was
also able to test support for newer BCMA devices by bringing up basic
working Wi-Fi on two previously unsupported, BCMA-based N-PHY chipsets:

- BCM43224
- BCM43225

sys/dev: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

[bwn] add initial 5xx firmware API support

* Use the right TX/RX format based on the frame info;
* Disable the 5xx firmware check, since now it should
somewhat work (but note, we don't yet use it unless
you manually add ucode11/initvals11 from the 5.x driver
to bwn-kmod-firmware;

* Misc: update some comments/debugging now I know what's
actually going on.

Tested:

* BCM4321MC, STA mode, both 4xx and 666 firmware, DMA mode

TODO:

* The newer firmware ends up logging "warn: firmware state (0)";
not sure yet what's going on there. But, yes, it still works.

[bwn] add new types, prepare for PHY-N; prepare for rev 5xx firmware.

This is a big commit with a whole lot of little changes, all in
preparation for PHY-N and rev 5xx firmware.

* add in a write method that does an explicit flush
* change the txpwr recalc type to return an enum, versus just an int.
* add in PHY-N RX frame format bits, for decoding RX RSSI and such
* add in the header space calculation for rev 5xx firmware.
* add in a whole bunch of new types that the newer and 5g phy code
needs. Notably, broadcom has a split 5GHz band concept -
5G-Low, 5G(-Mid) and 5G-High. I kept encountering this at my
day job and wondered whether it was just some marketing thing.
Nope, turns out it isn't; it's an actual PHY thing.

* Add a "am I a siba bus device" method, that returns true.
The aim is to convert all the siba/bhnd specific bits in if_bwn
over to be wrapped in this check, so when landon does a BHND
drive through he knows which bits need updating.

Now, this the /complete/ set of changes for rev 5xx firmware.
Notably, the TX descriptor handling isn't at all done yet and the
format has changed. So don' try blindly flipping this on just yet!

[bwn] implement firmware tx/rx versioning and fix RSSI calculation.

Different versions of firmware have different requirments for TX/RX
packet layouts (and other things, of course.) Currently the driver
checks between 3xx and 4xx firmware by using the BWN_ISOLDFMT() macro,
which doesn't take into account the 5xx firmware (which I think I need
for the HT and N series PHY chips. I'll know when I do the port.)
BWN_HDRSIZE() also needs to learn about the 5xx series firmware
as well.

So:

* add a firmware version enum
* populate it based on the firmware version we read at load time
* don't finish loading if the firmware is the 5xx firmware; any
code using BWN_ISOLDFMT or BWN_HDRSIZE needs updating (most notably
the TX and RX bits.)

Then, for RX RSSI:

* write down and reimplement the b43 rssi calculation method;
* use it for the correct PHYs (which are all the ones we support);
* do the RSSI calculation before radiotap, not after.

Tested:

* Broadcom BCM4312, STA mode

Obtained from: Linux b43 (careful writing and reimplementing; lots of integer math..)

Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless
connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.

Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.

Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:

- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.

Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.

Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,
Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in
testing.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/projects/ifnet/net80211

Still, drivers: ndis, wtap, mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt, uath were not
tested. Changes to mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt are trivial and chances
of problems are low. The wtap wasn't compilable even before this change.
But the ndis driver is complex, and it is likely to be broken with this
commit. Help with testing and debugging it is appreciated.
