a71fba9729 ethoc: use devres resource management
The point of using the devres resource management routines is that they
simplify the driver by taking care of releasing resources on failure and
release.  A recent commit added a bunch of error handling that is unnecessary
in this context.

This patch removes this redundant error handling, as well as using
dmam_alloc_coherent in place of dma_alloc_coherent in order to use this
framework consistenly throughout the driver.

619baba195 gianfar: Revive the driver for eTSEC devices (disable timestamping)
Since commit cc772ab7cd ("gianfar: Add
hardware RX timestamping support"), the driver no longer works on
at least MPC8313ERDB and MPC8568EMDS boards (and possibly much more
boards as well).

That's how MPC8313 Reference Manual describes RCTRL_TS_ENABLE bit:

  Timestamp incoming packets as padding bytes. PAL field is set
  to 8 if the PAL field is programmed to less than 8. Must be set
  to zero if TMR_CTRL[TE]=0.

I see that the commit above sets this bit, but it doesn't handle
TMR_CTRL. Manfred probably had this bit set by the firmware for
his boards. But obviously this isn't true for all boards in the
wild.

Also, I recall that Freescale BSPs were explicitly disabling the
timestamping because of a performance drop.

For now, the best way to deal with this is just disable the
timestamping, and later we can discuss proper device tree bindings
and implement enabling this feature via some property.

832c10fd73 wl1251: fix ELP_CTRL register reads
Reading the ELP_CTRL register with sdio_readb causes problems because
hardware seems to be performing a write using stuff bits in the request
(those bits contain write data in write request). This indicates that it
actually expects RAW (read after write) type of request, so perform that
when reading ELP_CTRL instead. Also cache last written value so we know
what to write when doing RAW request.

Because of the above it was not possible to wake the chip from ELP power
saving mode, PM had to be disabled to have the driver usable in SDIO
mode. After this patch PM is functional.

For backporting to 2.6.34 or earlier, this patch depends on
6c1f716e81, which adds the
required SDIO funcion.

0ca74027ac ath5k: new function for setting the antenna switch table
Collect all pieces concering the antenna switch table into one function.
Previously it was split up between ath5k_hw_reset() and
ath5k_hw_commit_eeprom_settings().

Also we need to set the antenna switch table when ath5k_hw_set_antenna_mode()
is called manually (by "iw phy0 antenna set", for example).

I'm not sure if we need to set the switchtable at the same place in
ath5k_hw_reset() as it was before - it is set later thru
ath5k_hw_set_antenna_mode() anyways - but i leave it there to avoid
problems(?).

Plus print switchtable registers in the debugfs file.

024a07bacf r8169: fix random mdio_write failures
Some configurations need delay between the "write completed" indication
and new write to work reliably.

Realtek driver seems to use longer delay when polling the "write complete"
bit, so it waits long enough between writes with high probability (but
could probably break too). This patch adds a new udelay to make sure we
wait unconditionally some time after the write complete indication.

This caused a regression with XID 18000000 boards when the board specific
phy configuration writing many mdio registers was added in commit
2e955856ff (r8169: phy init for the 8169scd). Some of the configration
mdio writes would almost always fail, and depending on failure might leave
the PHY in non-working state.

f668da2f15 iwlwifi: fix wrapping when handling aggregated batches
Fairly complex code in iwlagn_tx_status_reply_tx handle the status reports for
aggregated packet batches sent by the NIC. This code aims to handle the case
where the NIC retransmits failed packets from a previous batch; the status
information for these packets can sometimes be inserted in the middle of a
batch and are actually not in order by sequence number! (I verified this can
happen with printk's in the function.)

The code in question adaptively identifies the "first" frame of the batch,
taking into account that it may not be the one corresponding to the first agg
status report, and also handles the case when the set of sent packets wraps the
256-character entry buffer. It generates the agg->bitmap field of sent packets
which is later compared to the BlockAck response from the receiver to see which
frames of those sent in this batch were ACKed. A small logic error (wrapping by
0xff==255 instead of 0x100==256) was causing the agg->bitmap to be set
incorrectly.

Fix this wrapping code, and add extensive comments to clarify what is going on.

02cd8dee6e iwlwifi: parse block ack responses correctly
Compressed BlockAck frames store the ACKs/NACKs in a 64-bit bitmap that starts
at the sequence number of the first frame sent in the aggregated batch. Note
that this is a selective ACKnowledgement following selective retransmission;
e.g., if frames 1,4-5 in a batch are ACKed then the next transmission will
include frames 2-3,6-10 (7 frames). In this latter case, the Compressed
BlockAck will not have all meaningful information in the low order bits -- the
semantically meaningful bits of the BA will be 0x1f3 (where the low-order frame
is seq 2).

The driver code originally just looked at the lower (in this case, 7) bits of
the BlockAck. In this case, the lower 7 bits of 0x1f3 => only 5 packets,
maximum, could ever be ACKed. In reality it should be looking at all of the
bits, filtered by those corresponding to packets that were actually sent. This
flaw meant that the number of correctly ACked packets could be significantly
underreported and might result in asynchronous state between TX and RX sides as
well as driver and uCode.

Fix this and also add a shortcut that doesn't require the code to loop through
all 64 bits of the bitmap but rather stops when no higher packets are ACKed.

In my experiments this fix greatly reduces throughput swing, making throughput
stable and high. It is also likely related to some of the stalls observed in
aggregation mode and maybe some of the buffer underruns observed, e.g.,
