5e6e43eb20 mwifiex: create separate function mwifiex_11n_dispatch_pkt()
Existing mwifiex_11n_dispatch_pkt() function is renamed as
mwifiex_11n_dispatch_pkt_until_start_win() and a new function
mwifiex_11n_dispatch_pkt() is created for a common code which
dispatches single packet based on interface type.

63410c37d2 mwifiex: code rearrangement for better readability
Use negative check for 'status' and return from the function.
This improves readability by avoiding line splits. Also, local
variable is used for start window calculations.

4e3b3bcd81 rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Fix array dimension problems
Commit a619d1abe2 leads to the following static checker warning:

drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8723be/phy.c:667 _rtl8723be_store_tx_power_by_rate()
error: buffer overflow 'rtlphy->tx_power_by_rate_offset[band]' 4 <= 5

This warning arises because the code is testing the indices for the wrong maximum
values. In addition, the tests merely putput a warning, and then procedes to
corrupt memory. With this change, any such invalid memory access is avoided.

which is being provided by regulatory domain, and consequently

5cbb9c285b brcmfmac: Use atomic functions for intstatus update.
The intstatus in sdio code can be updated from different
threads. To protect intstatus access, atomic functions are
used. One of them is set_bit, but this function is not
guaranteed atomic on all platforms. The loop was replaced
with local created OR function.

997bc71a36 iwl4965: disable 8K A-MSDU by default
iwlegacy version of this iwlwifi patch:

commit aed7d9ac18
Author: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>
Date:   Wed Feb 20 11:33:00 2013 +0200

    iwlwifi: disable 8K A-MSDU by default

    Supporting 8K A-MSDU means that we need to allocate order 1
    pages for every Rx packet. Even when there is no traffic.
    This adds stress on the memory manager. The handling of
    compound pages is also less trivial for the memory manager
    and not using them will make the allocation code run faster
    although I didn't really measure.
    Eric also pointed out that having huge buffers with little
    data in them is not very nice towards the TCP stack since
    the truesize of the skb is huge. This doesn't allow TCP
    to have a big Rx window.
    See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2167711/ for details.

    Note that very few vendors will actually send A-MSDU.
    Disable this feature by default.

c24782e612 rtl818x: make sure TX descriptor writes are done before kicking DMA
The TX descriptors are consumed by the HW using DMA.
Even if in the driver code the TX descriptor writes appears before
the HW "dma kick" register writes, the CPU may reorder them.

If this happens, the TX may not happen at all becase the "valid"
descriptor flag may have not been set yet.

This patch adds a write memory barrier to ensures the TX
descriptor is written before writing to the HW "dma kick" register.

4c552a5be7 rtl818x: Make sure the TX descriptor "valid" flag is written by last
The TX descriptors are consumed by the HW using DMA.
Even if in the driver code the memory write that sets the "valid"
flag appears after all other writes, the CPU may reorder writes,
causing the HW to consider as valid a not-fully-written yet
descriptor.

This may cause HW incorrect behaviour.

This can happen because (AFAIK) the HW may attempt DMA
asynchronously without waiting to be kicked by the following
register write.

This patch adds a write memory barrier to enforce writes ordering.

4c59ff221e wireless: Kconfig: add missing dependency
Previous driver changes to airo, atmel, wl3501_cs, and usb_zd1201 need
to include <net/cfg80211.h>, which depends on CFG80211, so add the
missing dependency.

f554724521 ath9k_hw: tweak noise immunity thresholds for older chipsets
Older chipsets are more sensitive to high PHY error counts, and the
current noise immunity thresholds were based on tests run at QCA with
newer chipsets.

This patch brings back the values from the old ANI implementation for
old chipsets, and it also disables weak signal detection on an earlier
noise immunity level, to improve overall radio stability on affected
devices.

6241226f68 ath9k_hw: toggle weak signal detection in AP mode on older chipsets
The commit 80b4205b "ath9k: Fix OFDM weak signal detection for AP mode"
prevented weak signal detection changes from taking effect in AP mode on
all chipsets, claiming it is "not allowed".

The main reason for not disabling weak signal detection in AP mode is
that typically beacon RSSI is used to track whether it is needed to
boost range, and this is unavailable in AP mode for obvious reasons.

The problem with not disabling weak signal detection is that older
chipsets are very sensitive to high PHY error counts. When faced with
heavy noise, this can lead to an excessive amount of "Failed to stop
TX DMA" errors in the field.
