b43: fix frequency reported on G-PHY with /new/ firmware

2014-07-09T18:21:29+00:00

commit 2fc68eb122c7ea6cd5be1fe7d6650c0beb2f4f40 upstream.

Support for firmware rev 508+ was added years ago, but we never noticed
it reports channel in a different way for G-PHY devices. Instead of
offset from 2400 MHz it simply passes channel id (AKA hw_value).

So far it was (most probably) affecting monitor mode users only, but
the following recent commit made it noticeable for quite everybody:

iwlwifi: pcie: try to get ownership several times

2014-07-09T18:21:28+00:00

commit 501fd9895c1d7d8161ed56698ae2fccb10ef14f5 upstream.

Some races with the hardware can happen when we take
ownership of the device. Don't give up after the first try.

rt2x00: fix rfkill regression on rt2500pci

2014-07-09T18:21:24+00:00

commit 616a8394b5df8c88f4dd416f4527439a4e365034 upstream.

As reported by Niels, starting rfkill polling during device probe
(commit e2bc7c5, generally sane change) broke rfkill on rt2500pci
device. I considered that bug as some initalization issue, which
should be fixed on rt2500pci specific code. But after several
attempts (see bug report for details) we fail to find working solution.
Hence I decided to revert to old behaviour on rt2500pci to fix
regression.

Additionally patch also unregister rfkill on device remove instead
of ifconfig down, what was another issue introduced by bad commit.

rt2x00: disable TKIP on USB

2014-07-09T18:21:24+00:00

commit 8edcb0ba0d56f5914eef11eda6db8bfe74eb9ca8 upstream.

On USB we can not get atomically TKIP key. We have to disable support
for TKIP acceleration on USB hardware to avoid bug as showed bellow.

ath9k_htc: Stop ANI before doing hw_reset

2014-05-14T19:42:46+00:00

During remain on channel request, ANI worker thread is not stopped
before doing hw reset. This is causing kernel crash in
hw_per_calibration. This change ensures that ANI is stopped before
doing chip reset and it will be rescheduled later when the chip is
configured back to home channel and having valid bss.

iwlwifi: mvm: prevent sched scan while not idle

2014-05-13T12:05:32+00:00

Prevent sched scan while not idle (including during association or in AP
mode) instead of while associated only.

This fixes my previous commit which was incomplete:

tail should be equal to the last valid index, so
decrease it by one.

This error causes in "a gap" in some cases (as well as
some possible out-of-bound write), finally resulting in
ucode assertion.
