New features and bug fixes to quite a few different drivers, but
nothing really special standing out.
What makes me happy that we have now more vendors actively
contributing to upstream drivers. In this pull request we have patches
from Broadcom, Intel, Qualcomm, Realtek and Redpine Signals, and I
still have patches from Marvell and Quantenna pending in patchwork. Now
that's something comparing to how things looked 11 years ago in Jeff
Garzik's "State of the Union: Wireless" email:
