Kalle Valo says:

====================
Major changes:

ath10k:

* add support for qca99x0 family of devices
* improve performance of tx_lock
* add support for raw mode (802.11 frame format) and software crypto
  engine enabled via a module parameter

ath9k:

* add fast-xmit support

wil6210:

* implement TSO support
* support bootloader v1 and onwards

iwlwifi:

* Deprecate -10.ucode
* Clean ups towards multiple Rx queues
* Add support for longer CMD IDs. This will be required by new
  firmwares since we are getting close to the u8 limit.
* bugfixes for the D0i3 power state
* Add basic support for FTM
* polish the Miracast operation
* fix a few power consumption issues
* scan cleanup
* fixes for D0i3 system state
* add paging for devices that support it
* add again the new RBD allocation model
* add more options to the firmware debug system
* add support for frag SKBs in Tx
====================

<title>rt2x00: use DECLARE_EWMA</title>

Instead of using the out-of-line EWMA calculation, use DECLARE_EWMA()
to create static inlines. On x86/64 this results in code that's one
byte larger (for me), but reduces struct link_ant and struct link
size by the two unsigned long values that store the parameters each.

rt2500usb_validate_eeprom() read data up to 0x6e (EEPROM_CALIBRATE_OFFSET)
but only 0x6a bytes has been allocated and read from the eeprom.

This lead to out-of-bound accesses and invalid values for
EEPROM_BBPTUNE_R17 and EEPROM_CALIBRATE_OFFSET.

Change the EEPROM_SIZE to 0x6e in order to retrieve all the fields.

Tested with a rt2570 device.

On some hardware reading WCID entries table results getting 0xff
numbers, no matter of value written there before. This cause assigning
the same WCID for different stations and makes not possible to connect
to more than one station.

<title>mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap</title>

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
bitmaps.

This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
test the bits, along with new debugfs code.

The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted,
frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with
the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the
monitor mode support should be used instead.

Removing it removes a lot of corner cases.

Seems H/W report correctly firmware Autorun value only at initialization
stage. When we close interface and open it again, Autorun value is 0 and
we try to load firmware what kills the device. To fix clear
REQUIRE_FIRMWARE firmware flag, to do not load firmware again, once we
discover Autorun mode.
