Johannes Berg a6bcda4484 cfg80211: remove unused function ieee80211_data_from_8023()
This function hasn't been used since the removal of iwmc3200wifi
in 2012. It also appears to have a bug when qos=True, since then
it'll copy uninitialized stack memory to the SKB.

Just remove the function entirely.

Johannes Berg a339e4c226 cfg80211: add intro to documentation
This introduction section should be used in the documentation,
do that at the beginning of the cfg80211 chapter.

Vidyullatha Kanchanapally 5349a0f7bf cfg80211: Use a structure to pass connect response params
Currently the connect event from driver takes all the connection
response parameters as arguments. With support for new features these
response parameters can grow. Use a structure to pass these parameters
rather than passing them as function arguments.

David S. Miller bb60b8b35a For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases:
* socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi
    manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are
    torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain
    operations, and can opt in to this where applicable
  * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space)
  * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the
    kernel, which was already available to userspace
  * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no
    room to add them
  * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage
    (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of
    magnitude)
  * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT
  * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for
    MAC address privacy (still requires driver support)
  * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board

Jonathan Corbet 0bb33e25e5 docs: Move the 802.11 guide into the driver-api manual
Put this documentation with the other driver docs and try to keep the top
level reasonably clean.
