675a0b049a mac80211: Use a cfg80211_chan_def in ieee80211_hw_conf_chan
Drivers that don't use chanctxes cannot perform VHT association because
they still use a "backward compatibility" pair of {ieee80211_channel,
nl80211_channel_type} in ieee80211_conf and ieee80211_local.

a481991467 USB 3.5-rc1 pull request
Here is the big USB 3.5-rc1 pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window.
 
 It's touches a lot of different parts of the kernel, all USB drivers,
 due to some API cleanups (getting rid of the ancient err() macro) and
 some changes that are needed for USB 3.0 power management updates.
 
 There are also lots of new drivers, pimarily gadget, but others as well.
 We deleted a staging driver, which was nice, and finally dropped the
 obsolete usbfs code, which will make Al happy to never have to touch
 that again.
 
 There were some build errors in the tree that linux-next found a few
 days ago, but those were fixed by the most recent changes (all were due
 to us not building with CONFIG_PM disabled.)

e1f12eb6ba USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices.
Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices.  Comms
devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power
state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished.
Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state,
using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their
data transfer.

If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable
hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus
as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of
receiving data.  Worse, some devices might blindly accept the
hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the
middle of receiving a transmission.

The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB
communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host.  In order to keep
the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the
same in Linux.

Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications
drivers.  I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that
implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

62c50543ce wireless: at76c50x: allocating too much data
This is a cut and paste mistake, sizeof(struct mib_local) was intended
instead of sizeof(struct mib_phy).  The call to at76_get_mib() uses
sizeof(struct mib_local) correctly, although I changed that to
sizeof(*m) for style reasons after discussion with some of the wireless
maintainers.

The current code works fine because mib_phy structs are larger than
mib_local structs.  But we may as well clean it up.

7bb4568372 mac80211: make tx() operation return void
The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).

Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.

Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

a185045c8d at76c50x-usb: Extract bssid from authentication frame
The driver at76c50x-usb is unable to authenticate with an AP since
kernel 2.6.31 for the following reason: The join command of the firmware
needs to be sent with the right bssid before any transmission can start.
Before kernel 2.6.31 mac80211 informed its drivers about the changing
bssid early enough for at76c50x-usb but during the development of 2.6.31
mac80211's behaviour changed. Now a new bssid is set after the
association.

This patch changes the tx routine of the driver at76c50x-usb in such a
way that a new bssid is extracted from an authentication frame and the
join command with that bssid is processed.

3ac64beecd mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleep
Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.

A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

42935ecaf4 mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue
The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.

We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:

  * ieee80211_queue_work()
  * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()

These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.

Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

64344d7822 at76c50x-usb: remove unneeded flush_workqueue() at usb disconnect
This driver only uses the mac80211 workqueue and mac80211 requires us to
cancel all work at driver stop. Since we now have the cancels in the right
places at stop() we really don't need to flush the mac80211 workqueue so
remove it.

f1d58c2521 mac80211: push rx status into skb->cb
Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

21a4cc00e8 at76c50x-usb: avoid mutex deadlock in at76_dwork_hw_scan
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13312

at76_dwork_hw_scan holds a mutex while calling ieee80211_scan_completed,
which then calls at76_config which needs the same mutex.  This reworks
the ordering to not hold the lock while calling ieee80211_scan_completed.

2d0ddec5b2 mac80211: unify config_interface and bss_info_changed
The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the
BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most
other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes
config_interface and rolls all the information it previously
passed to drivers into bss_info_changed.

advertise that it cannot support that, and, for now until I
