[ Upstream commit 67a81d911c01225f426cc6bee2373df044c1a9b7 ]

Should orinoco_cs_config() fail, some resources need to be released as
already done in the remove function.

While at it, remove a useless and erroneous comment. The probe is
orinoco_cs_probe(), not orinoco_cs_attach().

There is currently no return check for writing an authentication
type (HERMES_AUTH_SHARED_KEY or HERMES_AUTH_OPEN). It looks like
it was accidentally skipped.

This patch adds a return check similar to the other checks in
__orinoco_hw_setup_enc() for hermes_write_wordrec().

Detected using the static analysis tool - Svace.

<title>treewide: Convert del_timer*() to timer_shutdown*()</title>

<id>292a089d78d3e2f7944e60bb897c977785a321e3</id>
<content type='text'>
Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown".  After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed.  It also ignores any locations where
the timer-&gt;function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(),
as that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following
commands:

    $ cat timer.cocci
    @@
    expression ptr, slab;
    identifier timer, rfield;
    @@
    (
    -       del_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    |
    -       del_timer_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    )
      ... when strict
          when != ptr-&gt;timer

    |
            kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr);
    |
            kfree(ptr);
    )

<title>wifi: p54: Replace zero-length array of trailing structs with flex-array</title>

<id>3b79d4bad3a0e73d9becb409a5f6112bc61e2c93</id>
<content type='text'>
Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1] and are being replaced with
flexible array members in support of the ongoing efforts to tighten the
FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy(), correctly instrument array indexing
with UBSAN_BOUNDS, and to globally enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3.

Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member.

This results in no differences in binary output (most especially because
struct pda_antenna_gain is unused). The struct is kept for future
reference.

<content type='text'>
When built with Control Flow Integrity, function prototypes between
caller and function declaration must match. These mismatches are visible
at compile time with the new -Wcast-function-type-strict in Clang[1].

Fix a total of 42 warnings like these:

../drivers/net/wireless/intersil/hostap/hostap_ioctl.c:3868:2: warning: cast from 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, char *, char *)' to 'iw_handler' (aka 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, union iwreq_data *, char *)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict]
        (iw_handler) prism2_get_name,                   /* SIOCGIWNAME */
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The hostap Wireless Extension handler callbacks (iw_handler) use a
union for the data argument. Actually use the union and perform explicit
member selection in the function body instead of having a function
prototype mismatch. There are no resulting binary differences
before/after changes.

These changes were made partly manually and partly with the help of
Coccinelle.

The cfg80211 Wireless Extension handler callbacks (iw_handler) use a
union for the data argument. Actually use the union and perform explicit
member selection in the function body instead of having a function
prototype mismatch. There are no resulting binary differences
before/after changes.

These changes were made partly manually and partly with the help of
Coccinelle.
