0d24b0eade brcmfmac: Accept only first creditmap event.
During P2P testing it turned out that the firmware sents multiple
multiple creditmap event messages. Only the first message from the
firmware should be processed. Otherwise the firmware-signalled flow
control can run haywire when it has packets outstanding in firmware.

402e3ba202 brcmfmac: fix invalid ifp lookup in firmware-signalling
The destination entries for firmware-signalled flow control have
the interface id stored. This needs to be translated to bsscfg

df50f75696 brcmfmac: Take bus flowcontrol at credit mgmt into account.
On bus flow control (no more host bus resources to send packets
to device) the netif flow control was toggled, however credit
management should also take this status into account. Since there
are multiple sources handling this flow control necessary spinlocks
were added to protect flow control related data/states.

to cancel scan delay timer in unload path. It causes a regression
for USB interface.

USB8797 card gets enumerated twice. First enumeration is for
firmware download and second enumeration expects firmware
initialization.

It was observed that we are trying del_timer_sync() without setting
up the timer when remove handler is called after first enumeration.

This patch moves setup_timer() call to appropriate place so that
timer is setup for both the enumerations.

25bf6ce41d rt2x00: add queue_init callback to rt2x00_ops
The driver uses static data structures for initializing
specific fields of a given data queue. These static
queue data descriptor structures are containing values
which related to a given chipset.

Even though the values are chip specific, the actual
selection of the used structure is based on device
specific vendor/product identifiers. This approach works,
but it is not always reliable. Sometimes the vendor and/or
device IDs of the PCI and USB devices contains improper
values which makes it impossible to select the correct
structure for such devices.

The patch adds a new callback to tr2x00_ops which
is called after the chipset detection is finished.
This allows the drivers to do dynamic initialization
of the data_queue structure for a given queue based
on the actual chipset.

After each driver implements the queue_init callback,
the data_queue_desc structure will be removed.

Raising the immunity level can be done when CCK/OFDM errors exceed

Set these values once during attach.

    rt2800: use BBP_R1 for setting tx power

unfortunately does not work well with RT5390 and RT3290 chips as they
require different temperature compensation TX power settings (TSSI
tuning). Since that commit make wireless connection very unstable on
those chips, restore previous behavior to fix regression. Once we
implement proper TSSI tuning on 5390/3290 we can restore back setting
TX power by BBP_R1 register for those chips.

      brcmsmac: remove brcms_bss_cfg->associated

The regression behaviour was described on mailing list.

http://mid.gmane.org/5197DC4F.7030503@broadcom.com:
"On laptop I installed kernel with brcmsmac compiled as
module. It comes up and associates during boot, but after
logging in there is no connectivity. Triggering reassoc
gives connectivity for some time, but after a while (1-2 min)
it stops."

Before the mentioned commit the return value of
the function brcms_c_ps_allowed() was always false,
which is desired behaviour as power-save is not
supported at the moment. Therefor, the function is
changed to just return false instead of simply
reverting the mentioned commit.

a8cf0194b7 iwlegacy: fix rate control regression
Since driver does not use control.rates[0].count, we have never set that
variable. But currently, after rate control API rewrite, this is required
by mac80211. Otherwise legacy rates control does not work and we transmit
always at 1Mbit/s on pre 11n networks.

5e3dd157d7 ath10k: mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac CQA98xx devices
Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.

The wiki page for the driver is:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k

The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:

e0e29b683d b43: stop format string leaking into error msgs
The module parameter "fwpostfix" is userspace controllable, unfiltered,
and is used to define the firmware filename. b43_do_request_fw() populates
ctx->errors[] on error, containing the firmware filename. b43err()
parses its arguments as a format string. For systems with b43 hardware,
this could lead to a uid-0 to ring-0 escalation.

5efac94999 ath9k: Use minstrel rate control by default
The ath9k rate control algorithm has various architectural
issues that make it a poor fit in scenarios like congested
environments etc.

An example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927191

Change the default to minstrel which is more robust in such cases.
The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can
be removed altogether later on.

9600593178 Revert "ath9k_hw: Update rx gain initval to improve rx sensitivity"
This reverts commit 68d9e1fa24

This change reduces rx sensitivity with no apparent extra benefit.
It looks like it was meant for testing in a specific scenario,
but it was never properly validated.

531671cb17 ath9k: Disable PowerSave by default
Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
stability.
