PATCH 22/32 rt2x00: Allocate ring structures in single array

From: Ivo van Doorn <[email protected]>

Allocate all ring structures seperately and as an array of rings. This will make the rt2x00_pci and rt2x00_usb structures more generic for all rt2x00 modules.
Use seperate function to convert a dscape ring ID to the address of the actual ring.

Ditto for rt2500pci and rt2500usb.

I am not really fan on such messages. But when the control->queue is indeed invalid, it is a serious bug. Perhaps a BUG() should be used as well? If so, I'll put it into a new patch along with the fixes below.

Absolutely true, I'll fix this as well.

Is there a reason for not returning a proper error code?

Good question, in rt2400pci the behaviour is something that is not somethign the dscape could expect. Since we don't allow the configuration of all available tx queues.
I had made it return 0, since I wasn't sure how the stack would appreciate this behaviour.
But I have checked this in the stack since then, and apparently, tx_conf is called without any notice of available tx queues. Only when WMM is available the return value is checked,
so it is safe to return a error value.
But this behaviour should never have appeared in rt2500pci and rt2500usb, so I'll put this fix in the patch as well.

Thanks.

BUG() is not a good idea, this is not critical enough to panic the kernel.

Ok, I"ll just change the debug message then. :)

Thanks.
