b43: Fix oops on unload when firmware not found

2012-10-24T17:18:09+00:00

When b43 fails to find firmware when loaded, a subsequent unload will
oops due to calling ieee80211_unregister_hw() when the corresponding
register call was never made.

Commit 2d838bb608e2d1f6cb4280e76748cb812dc822e7 fixed the same problem
for b43legacy.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:

 1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.

 2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.

 3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.

 4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.

 5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.

 6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.

 7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
    Borkmann.

 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
    outgoing networking traffic.  This benefits processes that have very
    many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.

    From Eric Dumazet.

10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
    smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail.  Benefits are
    a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
    allocator c) less waste of space.

    From Eric Dumazet.

11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.

12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
    limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
    From Stephen Hemminger.

13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
    perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.

Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
namespace changes.

b43: Kconfig: drop unknown symbol 'BRCMSMAC_MODULE'

2012-09-01T15:39:25+00:00

There's no Kconfig symbol BRCMSMAC_MODULE, so the check for it will
always fail. There's no need to append _MODULE to tristate symbols
anyhow, because the config tools will do the right thing automagically.

(While we're touching this Kconfig file replace a tab between "default"
and "y" with a space.)

b43: be more user friendly with PHY info

2012-08-06T19:01:55+00:00

First of all, use PHY names instead of magic numbers. It should make
configuring kernel easier in case of not enabled PHY type support.
Secondly, always print info about PHY. This is really basic info about
hardware and quite important for the support level.
