[ Upstream commit 83d6f1f15f8cce844b0a131cbc63e444620e48b5 ]

Code that was added back in 2.6.38 has an obvious overflow
when accessing a static array, and at the time it was added
only a code comment was put in front of it as a reminder
to have it reviewed properly.

This has not happened, but gcc-6 now points to the specific
overflow:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c: In function 'ath9k_hw_get_gain_boundaries_pdadcs':
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c:483:44: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
     maxPwrT4[i] = data_9287[idxL].pwrPdg[i][4];
                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~

It turns out that the correct array length exists in the local
'intercepts' variable of this function, so we can just use that
instead of hardcoding '4', so this patch changes all three
instances to use that variable. The other two instances were
already correct, but it's more consistent this way.

[ Upstream commit 0f9edcdd88a993914fa1d1dc369b35dc503979db ]

The Wistron DNMA-92 and Compex WLM200NX have inverted LED polarity
(active high instead of active low).

The same PCI Subsystem ID is used by both cards, which are based on
the same Atheros MB92 design.

ath9k: Add a module parameter to invert LED polarity. 2016-06-03T23:15:32+00:00 Vittorio Gambaletta (VittGam) linux-wireless@vittgam.net 2016-04-11T02:48:54+00:00 d24f503d5c01eb3f33a2dde74b6893c7ec2816ad [ Upstream commit cd84042ce9040ad038e958bc67a46fcfc015c736 ] The LED can be active high instead of active low on some hardware. Add the led_active_high module parameter. It defaults to -1 to obey platform data as before. Setting the parameter to 1 or 0 will force the LED respectively active high or active low.

A number of new laptops have been delivered with only a single antenna.
In principle, this is OK; however, a problem arises when the on-board
EEPROM is programmed to use the other antenna connection. The option
of opening the computer and moving the connector is not always possible
as it will void the warranty in some cases. In addition, this solution
breaks the Windows driver when the box dual boots Linux and Windows.

A fix involving a new module parameter has been developed.  This commit
adds the new parameter and implements the changes needed for the driver.
