commit f78bccd79ba3cd9d9664981b501d57bdb81ab8a4 upstream.

rtl8192ce is disabling for too long the local interrupts during hw initiatialisation when performing scans

The observable symptoms in dmesg can be:

- underruns from ALSA playback
- clock freezes (tstamps do not change for several dmesg entries until irqs are finaly reenabled):

The exact code flow that causes that is:

1. wpa_supplicant send a start_scan request to the nl80211 driver
2. mac80211 module call rtl_op_config with IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE
3.   rtl_ips_nic_on is called which disable local irqs
4.     rtl92c_phy_set_rf_power_state() is called
5.       rtl_ps_enable_nic() is called and hw_init()is executed and then the interrupts on the device are enabled

A good solution could be to refactor the code to avoid calling rtl92ce_hw_init() with the irqs disabled
but a quick and dirty solution that has proven to work is
to reenable the irqs during the function rtl92ce_hw_init().

I think that it is safe doing so since the device interrupt will only be enabled after the init function succeed.

commit 2e8c5e56b307271c2dab6f8bfd1d8a3822ca2390 upstream.

rtl_ps_enable_nic() is called from loops that will loop until this function returns true or a
maximum number of retries is performed.

hw_init() returns non-zero on error. In that situation return false to
restore the original design intent to retry hw init when it fails.

commit b6213e413a4e0c66548153516b074df14f9d08e0 upstream.

This patch fixes regression caused by commit a16dad77634 "MIPS: Fix
potencial corruption". That commit fixes one corruption scenario in
cost of adding another one, which actually start to cause crashes
on Yeeloong laptop when rtl8187 driver is used.

For correct DMA read operation on machines without DMA coherence, kernel
have to invalidate cache, such it will refill later with new data that
device wrote to memory, when that data is needed to process. We can only
invalidate full cache line. Hence when cache line includes both dma
buffer and some other data (written in cache, but not yet in main
memory), the other data can not hit memory due to invalidation. That
happen on rtl8187 where struct rtl8187_priv fields are located just
before and after small buffers that are passed to USB layer and DMA
is performed on them.

To fix the problem we align buffers and reserve space after them to make
them match cache line.

This patch does not resolve all possible MIPS problems entirely, for
that we have to assure that we always map cache aligned buffers for DMA,
what can be complex or even not possible. But patch fixes visible and
reproducible regression and seems other possible corruptions do not
happen in practice, since Yeeloong laptop works stable without rtl8187
driver.

commit b900a87b2eb90c0b9586496c82a323a1b8832d73 upstream.

This can be useful to be able to spot the firmware version
from the error reports without needing to fetch it from
another place.

<title>iwlwifi: mvm: disable scheduled scan</title>

commit 0822afe8ebb9389997ef677447c7b08e08797de9 upstream.

The iwlwifi scheduled scan implementation doesn't adhere to the
userspace API correctly - the API assumes that any new incoming
'incompatible' request (like scan or remain-on-channel for this
driver) will just cancel the scheduled scan. Instead our driver
relies on userspace cancelling it, thus breaking existing wpa_s
versions.

<title>iwlwifi: mvm: don't allow A band if SKU forbids it</title>

commit c512865446e6dd5b6e91e81187e75b734ad7cfc7 upstream.

The driver wasn't reading the NVM properly. While this
didn't lead to any issue until now, it seems that there
is an old version of the NVM in the wild.
In this version, the A band channels appear to be valid
but the SKU capabilities (another field of the NVM) says
that A band isn't supported at all.
With this specific version of the NVM, the driver would
think that A band is supported while the HW / firmware
don't. This leads to asserts.

commit 8298383c2cd5a6d0639f1bb1781fba181bd20154 upstream.

Even though we make sure PowerSave is not enabled by default
by disabling the flag, WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT on init,
PS could be enabled by userspace based on various factors
like battery usage etc. Since PS in ath9k is just broken
and has been untested for years, remove support for it, but
allow a user to explicitly enable it using a module parameter.
