154662a635 ath9k: Remove unnecessary TSF reset
The TSF is already reset properly via mac80211's callback.
Resetting it in config_interface() is not needed.

f07a6c495e ath5k: Update PCU code
* In set_opmode don't handle antenna settings and preserve other STA_ID1 settings
(shouldn't matter because we call it during reset but it makes things cleaner)
Also set properly AP/ADHOC indicator flag on CFG while setting AP/ADHOC modes
and always enable key search mode.

* Properly set BSSID Mask during reset (cache it and reuse it durring set_associd)

* Update beacon_init to flush pending BMISS interrupts and handle setting of adhoc
beacon ATIM policy flag for ad-hoc mode. Also set TSF to 0 to start TSF increment
on AP mode. We need to handle sleep timers for AR5212 there + add support for PCF.

* Properly clean MIC key from keytable when TKIP is used (Bob is working on set_key
function etc so i leave it for now).

Tested on AR5212 (Hainan) and AR5413 and works fine

v2 Set PISR on AR5211+ and ISR on AR5210, got to sleep more ;-)

41bb73eeac mac80211: remove SSID driver code
Remove the SSID from the driver API since now there is no
driver that requires knowing the SSID and I think it's
unlikely that any hardware design that does require the
SSID will play well with mac80211.

This also removes support for setting the SSID in master
mode which will require a patch to hostapd to not try.

The SSID programmed into the device is used by the ucode only
to reply to probe requests, a functionality we disable anyway
because it doesn't fit with the mac80211/hostapd programming
model. Therefore, it isn't useful to program the SSID into

4ceb7b6ae2 netdevice libertas: Fix directly reference of netdev->priv
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.

Different to readonly reference of netdev->priv, in this driver, netdev->priv
was changed. I use netdev->ml_priv to replace netdev->priv.

505d4f73dd net: Guaranetee the proper ordering of the loopback device. v2
I was recently hunting a bug that occurred in network namespace
cleanup.  In looking at the code it became apparrent that we have
and will continue to have cases where if we have anything going
on in a network namespace there will be assumptions that the
loopback device is present.   Things like sending igmp unsubscribe
messages when we bring down network devices invokes the routing
code which assumes that at least the loopback driver is present.

Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard
to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the
loopback device directly from net_dev_init().    This guarantes
that the loopback device is the first device registered and
the last network device to go away.

But do it carefully so we register the loopback device after
we clear dev_boot_phase.

c793033945 ath5k: correct handling of rx status fields
ath5k_rx_status fields rs_antenna and rs_more are u8s, but we
were setting them with bitwise ANDs of 32-bit values.

As a consequence, jumbo frames would not be discarded as intended.
Then, because the hw rate value of such frames is zero, and, since
"ath5k: rates cleanup", we do not fall back to the basic rate, such
packets would trigger the following WARN_ON:

739bb23d72 sfc: Do not reset when hardware monitor detects a fault
The TX watchdog should trigger a reset, but a temperature/power alarm
should not as this is unlikely to solve the problem.

3e133c44d2 sfc: Use lm87 and lm90 drivers for board temperature/power monitoring
Add board monitoring to periodic work whenever link is down.
For SFE4001, report when a fault has caused the PHY to turn off.
For SFE4002, switch XFP PHY into low-power state in case of a fault.

f41507245e sfc: Expose flash region storing boot code as MTD
The boot code that appears as a PCI expansion ROM on the SFC4000 is
stored in flash.  Expose this as a standard MTD device to allow for
in-place upgrades.

Due to a hardware bug, the originally assigned range cannot reliably
be used for boot configuration and must not be modifiable through
ethtool.

fd989c8332 bonding: alternate agg selection policies for 802.3ad
This patch implements alternative aggregator selection policies
for 802.3ad.  The existing policy, now termed "stable," selects the active
aggregator by greatest bandwidth, and only reselects a new aggregator
if the active aggregator is entirely disabled (no more ports or all ports
down).

	This patch adds two new policies: bandwidth and count, selecting
the active aggregator by total bandwidth (like the stable policy) or by
the number of ports in the aggregator, respectively.  These two policies
also differ from the stable policy in that they will reselect the active
aggregator when availability-related changes occur in the bond (e.g.,
link state change).

	This permits "gang failover" within 802.3ad, allowing redundant
aggregators along parallel paths to always maintain the "best" aggregator
as the active aggregator (rather than having to wait for the active to
entirely fail).

	This patch also updates the driver version to 3.5.0.
