wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.11
It's nice to see rt2x00 development has becoming active, for example
adding support for a new chip version. Also wcn36xx has been converted
to use the recently merged QCOM_SMD subsystem. Otherwise new features
and fixes it lots of drivers.
Major changes:
iwlwifi
* some more work in preparation for A000 family support
* add support for radiotap timestamps
* some work on our firmware debugging capabilities
wcn36xx
* convert to a proper QCOM_SMD driver (from the platform_driver interface)
ath10k
* VHT160 support
* dump Copy Engine registers during firmware crash
* search board file extension from SMBIOS
wil6210
* add disable_ap_sme module parameter
rt2x00
* support RT3352 with external PA
* support for RT3352 with 20MHz crystal
* add support for RT5350 WiSoC
brcmfmac
* add support for BCM43455 sdio device
rtl8xxxu
* add support for D-Link DWA-131 rev E1, TP-Link TL-WN822N v4 and others

In the function rtl_usb_start we pre-allocate a certain number of urbs
for RX path but they will not be freed when calling rtl_usb_stop. This
results in leaking urbs when doing ifconfig up and down. Eventually,
the system has no available urbs.

These drivers use a set of complicated macros to extract and insert
information for the RX and TX descriptors. Driver rtl8192cu had a
different set than was used for the PCI-based drivers. To simplify
the code, rtl8192cu is switched to use the common version. In the
process, two errors in those common macros were found and fixed.
Besides simplifying the code, there is an additional benefit. We have
no BE hardware to test the PCI driver, but using the common macros
provides an additional test for the validity of many endian-sensitive
operations.

This driver requires a checksum for the descriptors so that the wifi
chip is assured that the USB transmission was correct. These entries
are little-endian, but the driver was always using cpu order in the
calculation. As a result, the driver failed on BE hardware.

The firmware is read from disk as a little-endian byte string. The code
that loads the firmware into the device transfers it as 4-byte quantities.
The routines that write multi-byte quantities on BE hardware assume that
the data are in CPU order, and automatically do the conversion to the LE
order required by the device. As a result, the firmware is transmitted
incorrectly. Rather than do multiple byte swaps on the data, the download
routine is revised to transmit bytes rather than dwords. Although the
number of I/O operations is increased, the firmware is not often loaded.
All drivers have the same bug, and use essentially the same code to
download firmware. These routines have been moved into rtlwifi.
Some CamelCase variables have been renamed.

As the kernel provides access to module parameters through entries in
/sys/module/<driver>/parameters/, there is no need for a private
interface. Thus the existing code for setting the debug level is
removed.

The debugging macros contain a parameter COMP_XX that could be used as a
mask; however, the code turns all these various bits on at the same time.
This change implements them as a proper mask, and adds module parameters
to set the mask at load time.
The current name "debug" for the debug level has been changed to
"debug_level" to better differentiate it from "debug_mask".
The debug routines have also been changed to interrogate the structure
that is loaded at entry time. As a result, the structure rtl_debug is no
longer needed, and all references to it are deleted.

The addresses of Wlan NIC registers are natural alignment, but some
drivers have bugs. These are evident on platforms that need natural
alignment to access registers. This change contains the following:
1. Function _rtl8821ae_dbi_read() is used to read one byte from DBI,
thus it should use rtl_read_byte().
2. Register 0x4C7 of 8192ee is single byte.

kfree_skb() was inside a spinlock. What was forgotten is that kfree_skb()
guards against a NULL value for the argument. Routine dev_kfree_skb_irq()
does not, and a test is needed to prevent kernel panics.

due to the fact that leaving PS was delayed by the use of a work queue.
This problem is fixed by detecting if the enter or leave routines are
in interrupt mode. If so, the workqueue is used to place the request.
If in normal mode, the enter or leave routines are called directly.

In order to obtain retry count for a given rate we need to pass the

This uncovered a huge bug where the old code would use struct

The 8192eu suffered from two issues when reloading the driver.
The same problems as with the 8723bu where REG_RX_WAIT_CCA bits 22 and
23 didn't get set in rtl8192e_enable_rf().
In addition it also seems prone to issues when setting REG_RF_CTRL to
0 intead of just disabling the RF_ENABLE bit. Similar to what was
causing issues with the 8188eu.
With this patch I can successfully reload the driver and reassociate
to an APi with an 8192eu dongle.

A device running without RX package aggregation could return more data
in the USB packet than the actual network packet. In this case the
could would clone the skb but then determine that that there was no

This has so far only been observed with 8188eu devices, but could
affect others.
