<content type='text'>
commit 8ea3819c0bbef57a51d8abe579e211033e861677 upstream.

The cordic routine for calculating sines and cosines that was added in
commit 6f98e62a9f1b ("b43: update cordic code to match current specs")
contains an error whereby a quantity declared u32 can in fact go negative.

This problem was detected by Priit Laes who is switching b43 to use the
routine in the library functions of the kernel.

Fixes: 986504540306 ("b43: make cordic common (LP-PHY and N-PHY need it)")

commit 2aa650d1950fce94f696ebd7db30b8830c2c946f upstream.

strncpy might not NUL-terminate the string, if the name equals the buffer size.
Use strlcpy instead.

<title>b43: fix support for 14e4:4321 PCI dev with BCM4321 chipset</title>

commit 90f91b129810c3f169e443252be30ed7c0130326 upstream.

It seems Broadcom released two devices with conflicting device id. There
are for sure 14e4:4321 PCI devices with BCM4321 (N-PHY) chipset, they
can be found in routers, e.g. Netgear WNR834Bv2. However, according to
Broadcom public sources 0x4321 is also used for 5 GHz BCM4306 (G-PHY).
It's unsure if they meant PCI device id, or "virtual" id (from SPROM).
To distinguish these devices lets check PHY type (G vs. N).

<title>b43: fix frequency reported on G-PHY with /new/ firmware</title>

Support for firmware rev 508+ was added years ago, but we never noticed
it reports channel in a different way for G-PHY devices. Instead of
offset from 2400 MHz it simply passes channel id (AKA hw_value).

So far it was (most probably) affecting monitor mode users only, but
the following recent commit made it noticeable for quite everybody:

This fixes regression introduced by adding some G-PHY devices to the
list of dual band devices. There is simply no support for 5 GHz on
G-PHY devices in b43. It results in:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 79 at drivers/net/wireless/b43/phy_g.c:75 b43_gphy_channel_switch+0x125/0x130 [b43]()
b43-phy1 ERROR: PHY init: Channel switch to default failed

Regression was introduced by the following commit:
