3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.b...@intel.com>
commit 097b0e1bf18a00195cd89bb13565ddbc9b0df942 upstream.
b43 with open firmware crashes mac80211 because
it changes the number of queues at runtime which,
while it was never really supported, now crashes
mac80211 due to the new hardware queue logic.
Fix this by detecting open vs. proprietary fw
earlier and registering with mac80211 with the
right number of queues.
