Subject: [PATCH 1/6] staging: vt6655: don't stop TX queue unless buffer full.

Presently the TX buffer stops while filling the buffer.

However, this does not make use of the available buffer
space, it also lags the speed of the TX troughtput.

Only stop the queue when the buffer becomes full. The
Interupt handler will start the queue again when a
buffer is available.

Only stop the queue when the buffer becomes full. The

Subject: [PATCH 6/6] staging: vt6656: remove RX complete locking.

The lock in vnt_submit_rx_urb_complete is blocked by TX activity.

The lock comes from a time when RX needed to be synchronized with
other parts of the driver because the WLAN API was in driver.

Since this is now dealt with in mac80211 the lock is unnecessary.

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] staging: vt6656: implement power saving code.

The device should ready to listen to next beacon so on count down of
wake_up_count == 1.

schedule command WLAN_CMD_TBTT_WAKEUP which calls vnt_next_tbtt_wakeup which
wakes the device.

This restores this back to vendors code with a slight difference the
count down is in the interrupt handler.

The TSF counter is presently unused on driver in infrastructure mode.

It is needed to implement power saving functions and wireless stats that
are passed in interrupt handling.

Ensuring counter is synced with access point beacon.
