commit 5f9186990ec4579ee5b7a99b3254c29eda479f36 upstream.

Beginning with kernel 3.13, this driver fails on some systems. The problem
was bisected to:

Commit 1bf4bbb4024dcdab5e57634dd8ae1072d42a53ac
Author: Felix Fietkau &lt;nbd@openwrt.org&gt;
Title: mac80211: send control port protocol frames to the VO queue

There is noting wrong with the above commit. The regression occurs because
V0 queue on RTL8192SE cards uses priority 6, not the usual 7. The fix is to
modify the rtl8192se routine that sets the correct transmit queue.

Bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74541

<title>ath9k: Fix sequence number assignment for non-data frames</title>

commit 5998be879719384af2014b79697eed6e38ee2706 upstream.

Since commit 558ff225de80ac95b132d3a115ddadcd64498b4f (ath9k: fix
ps-poll responses under a-mpdu sessions) non-data frames would have
gotten a sequence number from a TIDs sequence counter instead of
using the global sequence counter.

This can lead to instable connections.

To fix this only select the correct TID if we are processing a
data frame. Furthermore, prevent non-data frames to get a sequence
number from a TID sequence counter by adding a check to
ath_tx_setup_buffer.

When disable beaconing we clear register with beacon and newer set it
back, what make we stop send beacons infinitely.

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.
