Arend van Spriel 1d9c1796bc brcm80211: fmac: use counters in brcmf_bus structure
The usb code defines a structure for counting statistics. However,
it should use the statistics entry provided in brcmf_bus as that is
exposed to the net_device. The usb private statistics counter only
remains with counters for control packets between driver and usb
device.

Larry Finger ebecdcc12f rtlwifi: rtl8192c: Prevent sleeping from invalid context in rtl8192cu
When driver rtl8192cu is used with the debug level set to 3 or greater,
the result is "sleeping function called from invalid context" due to
an rcu_read_lock() call in the DM refresh routine in driver rtl8192c.
This lock is not necessary as the USB driver does not use the struct
being protected, thus the lock is set only when a PCI interface is
active.

This bug is reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.

In usb.c, routine _rtl_usb_init_sw() always returns 0, and rtl_usb_probe()

When associating and particularly when disassociating

with multiple calls to bss_info_changed, we should

Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan 1b658f118b cfg80211: Add an attribute to set inactivity timeout in AP mode
This patch adds an attribute, NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT,
to set the inactivity timeout which can be used to remove the
station in AP mode. This can be passed in NL80211_CMD_START_AP
and used by the drivers which have AP MLME in firmware but
don't support get_station() properly. To disable inactivity
timer in userspace, wpa_s for example, there is a new flag,
NL80211_FEATURE_INACTIVITY_TIMER, in nl80211_feature_flags
through which drivers can register their capability to use
the inactivity timeout to free the stations.

Hauke Mehrtens 5809802180 b43: prevent firmware on bcm5354 from taking over wrong GPIO pins
When using the bcm5354 (Soc with integrated LP-PHY Wifi) with a recent
firmware >= 478.104 it runs out of memory after a very short time in
OpenWrt after doing an active scan or any thing else where packages are
send. This was cased by a gpio misconfiguration, the firmware triggered
the GPIO pins used for buttons on some devices and that caused an other
driver (OpenWrt diag) listening for these buttons irqs to send many
messages to the user space.
This patch fixes the bug for my devices (Asus WL-520GU) and makes it
work with firmware 666.2. Now the firmware just uses LED GPIO pin
number 1 and not the button pins any more.

This is the GPIO Pin layout used on my device, see [0].
GPIO pin layout:
pin#    name    type
0       power   led
1       wlan    led
2       reset   button
3       ses     buttom

This is the nvram configuration output of "nvram show |grep gpio"

related nvram configuration:
wl0gpio2=11
wl0gpio3=11
wl0gpio0=11
wl0gpio1=0x02
reset_gpio=2

Felix Fietkau 4286df60ed ath9k: do not call ath9k_hw_txprocdesc on AR9003 outside of the tx tasklet
Since AR9003 uses a global tx status queue, processing tx status outside of
the regular tx tasklet is dangerous and messes up hardware/software
synchronization of tx status events.

Felix Fietkau d6157bf780 Revert "ath9k_hw: Fix false tx hung detection in AR9003 chips"
The approach of this change is flawed, as it triggers tx status processing
from more callsites, yet the chips only have one global tx status queue.
Subsequent patches will properly fix the issue that this one tried to address.

Amitkumar Karwar a0f6d6caef mwifiex: handle auto authentication mode correctly
When authentication type is configured to NL80211_AUTHTYPE_AUTOMATIC,
driver tries to connect using open mode. The association is failed
if AP is configured in shared mode.

This patch adds code to try association using shared mode as well if
open mode association fails.

Now since we returned exact error code in association response handler
(instead of -1), corresponding changes are done in
mwifiex_process_cmdresp().

John W. Linville c288ec614e carl9170: fix breakage from "mac80211: handle non-bufferable MMPDUs correctly"
That commit intended for 3.4 renamed IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE as
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER.  Meanwhile, "carl9170: fix frame delivery
if sta is in powersave mode" added a reference to
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE in the fixes stream for 3.3.  This simple
patch fixes that merge boo-boo.

Zefir Kurtisi f4fb4b212d ath9k: decouple RX error checking for DFS
Previous RX error checking was done exclusive-or for different error
types and caused DFS pulse events to be dropped when other error
flags (e.g. CRC) were set simultaneously.

This patch decouples PHY error processing from other types and ensures
that all pulses detected by HW are accounted by the pattern detector.
