c3ec0ff642 mwifiex: do not wait on semaphore during card removal
Host hang is observed if card is removed before firmware download
gets completed. In this case, firmware will be failed to download and
adapter structure gets freed.

In other thread, mwifiex_remove_card() waits on semaphore until the
firmware download fails. This wait is not necessary and may result in
invalid adapter access.

This patch uses down_trylock to return immediately so that hang issue
won't occur.

c56caa9db8 brcmfmac: screening firmware event packet
Firmware uses asynchronized events as a communication method to the
host. The event packets are marked as ETH_P_LINK_CTL protocol type. For
SDIO and PCIe bus, this kind of packets are delivered through virtual
event channel not data channel. This patch adds a screening logic to
make sure the event handler only processes the events coming from the
correct channel.

2aec2c9d42 brcmfmac: fix p2p scan abort null pointer exception
When p2p connection setup is performed without having ever done an
escan a null pointer exception can occur. This is because the ifp
to abort scanning is taken from escan struct while it was never
initialized. Fix this by using the primary ifp for scan abort. The
abort should still be performed and all scan related commands are
performed on primary ifp.

fb586f2530 sctp: delay calls to sk_data_ready() as much as possible
Currently processing of multiple chunks in a single SCTP packet leads to
multiple calls to sk_data_ready, causing multiple wake up signals which
are costy and doesn't make it wake up any faster.

With this patch it will note that the wake up is pending and will do it
before leaving the state machine interpreter, latest place possible to
do it realiably and cleanly.

Note that sk_data_ready events are not dependent on asocs, unlike waking
up writers.

====================
bridge: support sending rntl info when we set attributes through sysfs/ioctl

This patchset is used to support sending rntl info to user in some places,
and ensure that whenever those attributes change internally or from sysfs,
that a netlink notification is sent out to listeners.

It also make some adjustment in bridge sysfs so that we can implement this
easily.

I've done some tests on this patchset, like:
[br_sysfs]
  1. change all the attribute values of br or brif:
  $ echo $value > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/{*}
  $ echo $value > /sys/class/net/br0/brif/eth1/{*}

  2. meanwhile, on another terminal to observe the msg:
  $ bridge monitor

[br_ioctl]
  1. in bridge-utils package, do some changes in br_set, let brctl command
  use ioctl to set attribute:
         if ((ret = set_sysfs(path, value)) < 0) { -->
         if (1) {

  $ brctl set*

  2. meanwhile, on another terminal to observe the msg:
  $ bridge monitor

This test covers all the attributes that brctl and sysfs support to set.

bf871ad792 bridge: a netlink notification should be sent when those attributes are changed by ioctl
Now when we change the attributes of bridge or br_port by netlink,
a relevant netlink notification will be sent, but if we change them
by ioctl or sysfs, no notification will be sent.

We should ensure that whenever those attributes change internally or from
sysfs/ioctl, that a netlink notification is sent out to listeners.

Also, NetworkManager will use this in the future to listen for out-of-band
bridge master attribute updates and incorporate them into the runtime
configuration.

This patch is used for ioctl.
