59620e9fd6 rndis_wlan: fix support for bcm4320a
Old variant of bcm4320 doesn't handle setting configuration parameters
correctly. One symptom is that MAC gets partially overwritten when any
config parameters are set. This patch disables config-params for bcm4320a
(and generic rndis-wlan).

62161aefa4 iwlwifi: Temperature sensor voltage reading for 5150
The temperature measurement by uCode for 5150 and 5000 are different
        CSR_HW_REV_TYPE_5150: temperature sensor output voltage
        CSR_HW_REV_TYPE_5000: temperature in Celsius
temperature related operation for 5150 is measured by temperature sensor
output voltage; additional conversion is required for set and store
the temperature.

To make sure support different HW design; implement _ops method for
temperature related functions (temperature reading and set ct kill
threshold)

749e091ee0 iwl3945: improve 3945 leds
'tpt' is a delta throughput (number of packets) and is corelated
to brightness of the LED. We already maintain a delta of packets in
rxtxpackets. There is no need to calculate this delta again which
was affecting the behaviour of LEDS.

Also add two new callback functions for ASSOCIATED/DISASSOCIATED states
where LED's will be *on* for associated state and *off* for disassociated state.

This fixes

2c7e57981f libertas: read SD8688 firmware status from new register
The scratch pad register is used to store firmware status after
firmware is downloaded and initialized. After firmware status is
verified OK, the same register is used to store RX packet length.
Hence the firmware status code is no longer valid afterwards.

SD8688 firmware introduces a new register for firmware status
which will never be overwritten.

Also add scratch_reg variable to if_sdio_card structure and
initialize it based on the model of the card during probe.

ccdfeab653 ath9k: Update Beacon timers based on timestamp from the AP
Some APs seem to drift away from the expected TBTT (timestamp %
beacon_int_in_usec differs quite a bit from zero) which can result in
us waking up way too early to receive a Beacon frame. In order to work
around this, re-configure the Beacon timers after having received a
Beacon frame from the AP (i.e., when we know the offset between the
expected TBTT and the actual time the AP is sending out the Beacon
frame).

267a901274 ath9k: Optimize TBTT/DTIM calculation for timers
The previous version used a simple loop to go through all Beacon
frames when determining the next TBTT and DTIM count. This is not too
bad for the case where the setup happens before timesync (i.e., very
small TSF), but this can become very heavy operation if a short Beacon
interval is used and the current TSF is large.

In preparation for a patch to update timer setup based on Beacon
timestamp, optimize this routine to take fixed time regardless of the
actual TSF value.

d26285f873 libertas: implement function init/shutdown commands for SD8688
SD8688 is a WLAN/Bluetooth combo chip and both functions are supported
in a single firmware image. FUNC_INIT and FUNC_SHUTDOWN commands are
implemented to utilize the multiple function feature.

When SD8688 card is inserted, the firmware image should be downloaded
only once through either WLAN function (Libertas driver) or Bluetooth
function (Bluetooth driver).

This patch adds function init/shutdown for SD8688 WLAN function only.

b136a1414c libertas: get SD8688 rx length with one CMD52
Usually, the 16-bit rx length is read from scratch pad registers
with two CMD52 transactions:
SD8385: 	IF_SDIO_SCRATCH_OLD (0x80fe/0x80ff)
SD8686/SD8688:	IF_SDIO_SCRATCH     (0x34/0x35)

Alternatively, SD8688 firmware offers an enhanced method for driver
to read an 8-bit rx length (in units) with a single CMD52:
IF_SDIO_RX_UNIT 0x43 is read one time after firmware is ready.
IF_SDIO_RX_LEN  0x42 is read every time when rx interrupt is received.

4ea7e38696 dropmon: add ability to detect when hardware dropsrxpackets
Patch to add the ability to detect drops in hardware interfaces via dropwatch.
Adds a tracepoint to net_rx_action to signal everytime a napi instance is
polled.  The dropmon code then periodically checks to see if the rx_frames
counter has changed, and if so, adds a drop notification to the netlink
protocol, using the reserved all-0's vector to indicate the drop location was in
hardware, rather than somewhere in the code.

f214856540 qeth: avoid crash after detach of replugged device
If a qeth device is plugged off, setting the device online stops in
state HARDSETUP and a failure is reported to the base cio-layer
causing halt/clear to be invoked. Replugging the device again triggers
a qeth recovery without notification of the cio-layer. If a device
is ungrouped in this state, the qeth set_offline function is not
invoked, because the corresponding ccwgroup device is not in state
ONLINE. Then incoming traffic is still handled by the qdio layer
resulting in a crash in qeth_l<x>_qdio_input_handler, because (part
of) the qeth data structures for this device are already removed.
Solution: After replugging the device qeth recovery should lead to a
working net device. Thus a "LAN offline" result when setting a qeth
device online must not report a failure to the base cio-layer.

04af8cf6f3 net: Remove unused parameter from fill method in fib_rules_ops.
The netlink message header (struct nlmsghdr) is an unused parameter in
fill method of fib_rules_ops struct.  This patch removes this
parameter from this method and fixes the places where this method is
called.

1ddbcb005c net: fix rtable leak in net/ipv4/route.c
Alexander V. Lukyanov found a regression in 2.6.29 and made a complete
analysis found in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13339
Quoted here because its a perfect one :

begin_of_quotation
 2.6.29 patch has introduced flexible route cache rebuilding. Unfortunately the
 patch has at least one critical flaw, and another problem.

 rt_intern_hash calculates rthi pointer, which is later used for new entry
 insertion. The same loop calculates cand pointer which is used to clean the
 list. If the pointers are the same, rtable leak occurs, as first the cand is
 removed then the new entry is appended to it.

 This leak leads to unregister_netdevice problem (usage count > 0).

 Another problem of the patch is that it tries to insert the entries in certain
 order, to facilitate counting of entries distinct by all but QoS parameters.
 Unfortunately, referencing an existing rtable entry moves it to list beginning,
 to speed up further lookups, so the carefully built order is destroyed.

 For the first problem the simplest patch it to set rthi=0 when rthi==cand, but
 it will also destroy the ordering.
end_of_quotation

Problematic commit is 1080d709fb
(net: implement emergency route cache rebulds when gc_elasticity is exceeded)

Trying to keep dst_entries ordered is too complex and breaks the fact that
order should depend on the frequency of use for garbage collection.

A possible fix is to make rt_intern_hash() simpler, and only makes
rt_check_expire() a litle bit smarter, being able to cope with an arbitrary
entries order. The added loop is running on cache hot data, while cpu
is prefetching next object, so should be unnoticied.

cf8da764fc net: fix length computation in rt_check_expire()
rt_check_expire() computes average and standard deviation of chain lengths,
but not correclty reset length to 0 at beginning of each chain.
This probably gives overflows for sum2 (and sum) on loaded machines instead
of meaningful results.

Grrr. Some days it feels like all of the good names are already taken.

Let's just rename the two static users in arm and avr32 to get this
sorted out.

9cef873798 mac80211: fix managed mode BSSID handling
Currently, we will ask the driver to configure right away
when somebody changes the desired BSSID. That's totally
strange because then we will configure the driver without
even knowing whether the BSS exists. Change this to only
configure the BSSID when associated, and configure a zero
BSSID when not associated.

As a side effect, this fixes an issue with the iwlwifi
driver which doesn't implement sta_notify properly and
uses the BSSID instead and gets very confused if the
BSSID is cleared before we disassociate, which results
in the warning Marcel posted [1] and iwlwifi bug 1995 [2].
