commit 328e203fc35f0b4f6df1c4943f74cf553bcc04f8 upstream.

static code analysis from cppcheck reports:

[drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8188ee/trx.c:322]:
  (error) Uninitialized variable: packet_beacon

packet_beacon is not initialized and hence packet_beacon
contains garbage from the stack, so set it to false.

<title>ath9k: fix ready time of the multicast buffer queue</title>

commit 3b3e0efb5c72c4fc940af50b33626b8a78a907dc upstream.

qi-&gt;tqi_readyTime is written directly to registers that expect
microseconds as unit instead of TU.
When setting the CABQ ready time, cur_conf-&gt;beacon_interval is in TU, so
convert it to microseconds before passing it to ath9k_hw.

This should hopefully fix some Tx DMA issues with buffered multicast
frames in AP mode.

commit 12cd43c6ed6da7bf7c5afbd74da6959cda6d056b upstream.

Register B43_MMIO_PSM_PHY_HDR is 16 bit one, so accessing it with 32b

commit 8fc1e8c240aab968db658b2d8d079b4391207a36 upstream.

When brcm80211 firmware is not installed networking hangs.
A deadlock happens because we call ieee80211_unregister_hw()
from the .start callback of struct ieee80211_ops. When .start
is called we are under rtnl lock and ieee80211_unregister_hw()
tries to take it again.

Function call stack:

dev_change_flags()
	__dev_change_flags()
		__dev_open()
			ASSERT_RTNL() &lt;-- Assert rtnl lock
			ops-&gt;ndo_open()

.ndo_open = ieee80211_open,

ieee80211_open()
	ieee80211_do_open()
		drv_start()
			local-&gt;ops-&gt;start()

.start = brcms_ops_start,

brcms_ops_start()
	brcms_remove()
		ieee80211_unregister_hw()
			rtnl_lock() &lt;-- Here we deadlock

Introduced by:
commit 25b5632fb35ca61b8ae3eee235edcdc2883f7a5e
("brcmsmac: request firmware in .start() callback")

This patch fixes the bug by removing the call to brcms_remove()
and moves the brcms_request_fw() call to the top of the .start
callback to not initiate anything unless firmware is installed.

commit 608cfbe4abaf76e9d732efd7ed1cfa3998163d91 upstream.

The call to clamp_t() first truncates the variable signed 8 bit and as a
result, the actual clamp is a no-op.

commit 608cfbe4abaf76e9d732efd7ed1cfa3998163d91 upstream.
