In v3.15 the driver stopped to accept network packets after successful
authentification, which could be worked around by passing the
nohwcrypt=1 module parameter.  This was not reproducible by
everyone, and showed random behaviour in some tests.
It was caused by an uninitialized variable introduced
in 4ed1a8d4a257 ("ath9k_htc: use ath9k_cmn_rx_accept") and
used in 341b29b9cd2f ("ath9k_htc: use ath9k_cmn_rx_skb_postprocess").

<title>Revert "ath9k: Calculate sleep duration"</title>

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 09ebb810927a110e4c354beb20308830d108a54b.

ath9k_hw_set_sta_beacon_timers() configures AR_TIM_PERIOD with
the beacon interval. Before this commit, the sleepduration was
never greater than the beacon interval. But now, the behavior
has changed. For example, with an AP that uses a beacon interval of 100:

ath: phy9: next beacon 61128704
ath: phy9: beacon period 204800
ath: phy9: DTIM period 204800

If the sleepduration is calculated based on the listen time, then
the bmiss threshold should also be changed since the HW would
be in sleep state for a longer time, but that is not done currently.

To avoid configuring a higher beacon interval based on the sleepduration,
revert to the original behavior. Power consumption is not a
problem since PS is disabled in ath9k anyway.

We should prefer `struct pci_device_id` over `DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE` to
meet kernel coding style guidelines.  This issue was reported by checkpatch.

<title>carl9170: fix sending URBs with wrong type when using full-speed</title>

<id>671796dd96b6cd85b75fba9d3007bcf7e5f7c309</id>
<content type='text'>
The driver assumes that endpoint 4 is always an interrupt endpoint.
Unfortunately the type differs between high-speed and full-speed
configurations while in the former case it is indeed an interrupt
endpoint this is not true for the latter case - here it is a bulk
endpoint. When sending URBs with the wrong type the kernel will
generate a warning message including backtrace. In this specific
case there will be a huge amount of warnings which can bring the system
to freeze.

To fix this we are now sending URBs to endpoint 4 using the type
found in the endpoint descriptor.

A side note: The carl9170 firmware currently specifies endpoint 4 as
interrupt endpoint even in the full-speed configuration but this has
no relevance because before this firmware is loaded the endpoint type
is as described above and after the firmware is running the stick is not
reenumerated and so the old descriptor is used.

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping &amp; co

   - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
     Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
     user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)

   - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.

   - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.

   - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
     and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs.  Some of it
     definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.

   - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.

   - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing.  This is a
     long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
     traces.  With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
     for correlation of traces accross separate machines.

   - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.

   - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.

   - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.

   - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe.  I'm really
     impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
     manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
     specific timers.

[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]

   - Another round of code move from arch to drivers.  Looks like most
     of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
     a few obnoxious strongholds.

   - The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping &amp; co

   - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
     Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
     user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)

   - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.

   - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.

   - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
     and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs.  Some of it
     definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.

   - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.

   - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing.  This is a
     long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
     traces.  With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
     for correlation of traces accross separate machines.

   - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.

   - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.

   - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.

   - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe.  I'm really
     impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
     manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
     specific timers.

[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]

   - Another round of code move from arch to drivers.  Looks like most
     of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
     a few obnoxious strongholds.

   - The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

Minor conflicts in iphc.c were changes overlapping with some
style cleanups.

John W. Linville says:

====================
Please pull this last(?) batch of wireless change intended for the
3.17 stream...

For the NFC bits, Samuel says:

"This is a rather quiet one, we have:

- A new driver from ST Microelectronics for their NCI ST21NFCB,
  including device tree  support.

- p2p support for the ST21NFCA driver

- A few fixes an enhancements for the NFC digital laye"

For the Atheros bits, Kalle says:

"Michal and Janusz did some important RX aggregation fixes, basically we
were missing RX reordering altogether. The 10.1 firmware doesn't support
Ad-Hoc mode and Michal fixed ath10k so that it doesn't advertise Ad-Hoc
support with that firmware. Also he implemented a workaround for a KVM
issue."

For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo and Johan say:

"To quote Gustavo from his previous request:

'Some last minute fixes for -next. We have a fix for a use after free in
RFCOMM, another fix to an issue with ADV_DIRECT_IND and one for ADV_IND with
auto-connection handling.  Last, we added support for reading the codec and
MWS setting for controllers that support these features.'

Additionally there are fixes to LE scanning, an update to conform to the 4.1
core specification as well as fixes for tracking the page scan state. All
of these fixes are important for 3.17."

And,

"We've got:

- 6lowpan fixes/cleanups
- A couple crash fixes, one for the Marvell HCI driver and another in LE SMP.
- Fix for an incorrect connected state check
- Fix for the bondable requirement during pairing (an issue which had
  crept in because of using "pairable" when in fact the actual meaning
  was "bondable" (these have different meanings in Bluetooth)"

Along with those are some late-breaking hardware support patches in
brcmfmac and b43 as well as a stray ath9k patch.
