	net/batman-adv/translation-table.c
	net/ipv6/route.c

qmi_wwan.c resolution provided by Bjørn Mork.

batman-adv conflict is dealing merely with the changes
of global function names to have a proper subsystem
prefix.

ipv6's route.c conflict is merely two side-by-side additions
of network namespace methods.

"qual" used to be declared on the stack, but then in 998a5a7d6a ("airo:
reduce stack memory footprint") we made it dynamically allocated.
Unfortunately the memcpy() here was missed and it's still copying stack
memory instead of the data that we want.  In other words, "&amp;qual" should
be "qual".

<title>wireless: Remove casts to same type</title>

Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

        int y;
        int *p = (int *)&amp;y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts.  I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.

@@
type T;
T *p;
@@

-       (T *)p
+       p

Neatened the mwifiex_deauthenticate_infra function which
was doing odd things with array pointers and not using
is_zero_ether_addr.

<title>airo: fix test for FLAG_RADIO_DOWN</title>

We should be doing a shift (1 &lt;&lt; FLAG_RADIO_DOWN) here before testing
the flag.  As luck would have it, this test works almost correctly.
The current code tests for FLAG_RADIO_OFF instead of FLAG_RADIO_DOWN.

#define FLAG_RADIO_OFF  0       /* User disabling of MAC */
#define FLAG_RADIO_DOWN 1       /* ifup/ifdown disabling of MAC */

<title>net: Audit drivers to identify those needing IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING cleared</title>

<id>550fd08c2cebad61c548def135f67aba284c6162</id>
<content type='text'>
After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
their skbs.  There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
course, and need to be fixed up.  This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags
