wireless: airo: remove unnecessary pci_set_drvdata()

2013-09-26T19:13:42+00:00

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release
or on probe failure. Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the
device driver data to NULL.

net: airo: inherit addr_assign_type along with dev_addr

2013-09-04T00:57:49+00:00

A device inheriting a random or set address should reflect this in
its addr_assign_type.

drivers: avoid parsing names as kthread_run() format strings

2013-07-03T23:07:41+00:00

Calling kthread_run with a single name parameter causes it to be handled
as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string
content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents.

Use remove_proc_subtree() to remove the airo device subdir and all its
children instead of doing it manually.

procfs: new helper - PDE_DATA(inode)

2013-04-09T18:13:32+00:00

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)->data.  Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.

wireless: remove __dev* attributes

2012-12-06T20:04:55+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As result the __dev*
markings will be going away.

Remove use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst,
and __devexit.

wireless: drivers: make use of WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC

2012-10-18T07:01:54+00:00

The include file linux/ieee80211.h contains three definitions for
the same thing in enum ieee80211_eid due to historic changes:

/* Information Element IDs */
enum ieee80211_eid {
    :
    WLAN_EID_WPA = 221,
    WLAN_EID_GENERIC = 221,
    WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC = 221,
    :
};

The standard refers to this as "vendor specific" element so the
other two definitions are better not used. This patch changes the
wireless drivers to use one definition, ie. WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC.
