 *  - Initial implementation

 * Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky.perez-gonzalez@intel.com>
 *  - Rewritten to use a single FIFO to lower the memory allocation
 *    pressure and optimize cache hits when copying to the queue, as
 *    well as splitting out bus-specific code.
 *
 *
 * Implements data transmission to the device; this is done through a
 * software FIFO, as data/control frames can be coalesced (while the
 * device is reading the previous tx transaction, others accumulate).
 *
 * A FIFO is used because at the end it is resource-cheaper that trying
 * to implement scatter/gather over USB. As well, most traffic is going
 * to be download (vs upload).
 *
 * The format for sending/receiving data to/from the i2400m is
 * described in detail in rx.c:PROTOCOL FORMAT. In here we implement
 * the transmission of that. This is split between a bus-independent
 * part that just prepares everything and a bus-specific part that
 * does the actual transmission over the bus to the device (in the
 * bus-specific driver).
 *
 *
 * The general format of a device-host transaction is MSG-HDR, PLD1,
 * PLD2...PLDN, PL1, PL2,...PLN, PADDING.
 *
 * Because we need the send payload descriptors and then payloads and
 * because it is kind of expensive to do scatterlists in USB (one URB
 * per node), it becomes cheaper to append all the data to a FIFO
 * (copying to a FIFO potentially in cache is cheaper).
 *
 * Then the bus-specific code takes the parts of that FIFO that are
 * written and passes them to the device.
 *
 * So the concepts to keep in mind there are:
 *
 * We use a FIFO to queue the data in a linear buffer. We first append
 * a MSG-HDR, space for I2400M_TX_PLD_MAX payload descriptors and then
 * go appending payloads until we run out of space or of payload
 * descriptors. Then we append padding to make the whole transaction a
 * multiple of i2400m->bus_tx_block_size (as defined by the bus layer).
 *
 * - A TX message: a combination of a message header, payload
 *   descriptors and payloads.
 *
 *     Open: it is marked as active (i2400m->tx_msg is valid) and we
 *       can keep adding payloads to it.
 *
 *     Closed: we are not appending more payloads to this TX message
 *       (exahusted space in the queue, too many payloads or
 *       whichever).  We have appended padding so the whole message
 *       length is aligned to i2400m->bus_tx_block_size (as set by the
 *       bus/transport layer).
 *
 * - Most of the time we keep a TX message open to which we append
 *   payloads.
 *
 * - If we are going to append and there is no more space (we are at
 *   the end of the FIFO), we close the message, mark the rest of the
 *   FIFO space unusable (skip_tail), create a new message at the
 *   beginning of the FIFO (if there is space) and append the message
 *   there.
 *
 *   This is because we need to give linear TX messages to the bus
 *   engine. So we don't write a message to the remaining FIFO space
 *   until the tail and continue at the head of it.
 *
 * - We overload one of the fields in the message header to use it as
 *   'size' of the TX message, so we can iterate over them. It also
 *   contains a flag that indicates if we have to skip it or not.
 *   When we send the buffer, we update that to its real on-the-wire
 *   value.
 *
 * - The MSG-HDR PLD1...PLD2 stuff has to be a size multiple of 16.
 *
 *   It follows that if MSG-HDR says we have N messages, the whole
 *   header + descriptors is 16 + 4*N; for those to be a multiple of
 *   16, it follows that N can be 4, 8, 12, ... (32, 48, 64, 80...
 *   bytes).
 *
 *   So if we have only 1 payload, we have to submit a header that in
 *   all truth has space for 4.
 *
 *   The implication is that we reserve space for 12 (64 bytes); but
 *   if we fill up only (eg) 2, our header becomes 32 bytes only. So
 *   the TX engine has to shift those 32 bytes of msg header and 2
 *   payloads and padding so that right after it the payloads start
 *   and the TX engine has to know about that.
 *
 *   It is cheaper to move the header up than the whole payloads down.
 *
 *   We do this in i2400m_tx_close(). See 'i2400m_msg_hdr->offset'.
 *
 * - Each payload has to be size-padded to 16 bytes; before appending
 *   it, we just do it.
 *
 * - The whole message has to be padded to i2400m->bus_tx_block_size;
 *   we do this at close time. Thus, when reserving space for the
 *   payload, we always make sure there is also free space for this
 *   padding that sooner or later will happen.
 *
 * When we append a message, we tell the bus specific code to kick in
 * TXs. It will TX (in parallel) until the buffer is exhausted--hence
 * the lockin we do. The TX code will only send a TX message at the
 * time (which remember, might contain more than one payload). Of
 * course, when the bus-specific driver attempts to TX a message that
 * is still open, it gets closed first.
 *
 * Gee, this is messy; well a picture. In the example below we have a
 * partially full FIFO, with a closed message ready to be delivered
 * (with a moved message header to make sure it is size-aligned to
 * 16), TAIL room that was unusable (and thus is marked with a message
 * header that says 'skip this') and at the head of the buffer, an
 * imcomplete message with a couple of payloads.

 *
 * @i2400m: device descriptors
 * @bus_size: where to place the size of the TX message
 *
 * Called by the bus-specific driver to get the first TX message at
 * the FIF that is ready for transmission.
 *
 * It sets the state in @i2400m to indicate the bus-specific driver is
 * transfering that message (i2400m->tx_msg_size).
 *
 * Once the transfer is completed, call i2400m_tx_msg_sent().
 *
 * Notes:
 *
 *     The size of the TX message to be transmitted might be smaller than
 *     that of the TX message in the FIFO (in case the header was
 *     shorter). Hence, we copy it in @bus_size, for the bus layer to
 *     use. We keep the message's size in i2400m->tx_msg_size so that
 *     when the bus later is done transferring we know how much to
 *     advance the fifo.
 *
 *     We collect statistics here as all the data is available and we
 *     assume it is going to work [see i2400m_tx_msg_sent()].
