[ Upstream commit dd778f89225cd258e8f0fed2b7256124982c8bb5 ]

This patch adds missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE definition which generates
correct modalias for automatic loading of this driver when it is built
as an external module.

<title>wlcore/wl12xx: Fix wl12xx get_mac error if device is in ELP</title>

[ Upstream commit 11ef6bc846dcdce838f0b00c5f6a562c57e5d43b ]

At least on wl12xx, reading the MAC after boot can fail with a warning
at drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/sdio.c:78 wl12xx_sdio_raw_read.
The failed call comes from wl12xx_get_mac() that wlcore_nvs_cb() calls
after request_firmware_work_func().

After the error, no wireless interface is created. Reloading the wl12xx
module makes the interface work.

Turns out the wlan controller can be in a low-power ELP state after the
boot from the bootloader or kexec, and needs to be woken up first.

Let's wake the hardware and add a sleep after that similar to
wl12xx_pre_boot() is already doing.

Note that a similar issue could exist for wl18xx, but I have not seen it
so far. And a search for wl18xx_get_mac and wl12xx_sdio_raw_read did not
produce similar errors.

[ Upstream commit 272fdc0c4542fad173b44965be02a16d6db95499 ]

kernel test robot reports over 200 build errors and warnings
that are due to this Kconfig problem when CARL9170=m,
MAC80211=y, and LEDS_CLASS=m.

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for MAC80211_LEDS
  Depends on [n]: NET [=y] &amp;&amp; WIRELESS [=y] &amp;&amp; MAC80211 [=y] &amp;&amp; (LEDS_CLASS [=m]=y || LEDS_CLASS [=m]=MAC80211 [=y])

  - CARL9170_LEDS [=y] &amp;&amp; NETDEVICES [=y] &amp;&amp; WLAN [=y] &amp;&amp; WLAN_VENDOR_ATH [=y] &amp;&amp; CARL9170 [=m]

CARL9170_LEDS selects MAC80211_LEDS even though its kconfig
dependencies are not met. This happens because 'select' does not follow
any Kconfig dependency chains.

Fix this by making CARL9170_LEDS depend on MAC80211_LEDS, where
the latter supplies any needed dependencies on LEDS_CLASS.

<title>ath9k: Fix kernel NULL pointer dereference during ath_reset_internal()</title>

<id>812af10ee880bd77d495bbc9e900a76eb2195f7f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fb312ac5ccb007e843f982b38d4d6886ba4b32f2 upstream.

I got this crash more times during debugging of PCIe controller and crash
happens somehow at the time when PCIe kernel code started link retraining (as
part of ASPM code) when at the same time PCIe link went down and ath9k probably
executed hw reset procedure.

Currently I'm not able to reproduce this issue as it looks like to be
some race condition between link training, ASPM, link down and reset
path. And as always, race conditions which depends on more input
parameters are hard to reproduce as it depends on precise timings.

But it is clear that pointers are zero in this case and should be
properly filled as same code pattern is used in ath9k_stop() function.
Anyway I was able to reproduce this crash by manually triggering ath
reset worker prior putting card up. I created simple patch to export
reset functionality via debugfs and use it to "simulate" of triggering
reset.    s proved that NULL-pointer dereference issue is there.

Function ath9k_hw_reset() is dereferencing chan structure pointer, so it
needs to be non-NULL pointer.

Function ath9k_stop() already contains code which sets ah-&gt;curchan to valid
non-NULL pointer prior calling ath9k_hw_reset() function.

Add same code pattern also into ath_reset_internal() function to prevent
kernel NULL pointer dereference in ath9k_hw_reset() function.

This change fixes kernel NULL pointer dereference in ath9k_hw_reset() which
is caused by calling ath9k_hw_reset() from ath_reset_internal() with NULL
chan structure.

commit fb312ac5ccb007e843f982b38d4d6886ba4b32f2 upstream.

I got this crash more times during debugging of PCIe controller and crash
happens somehow at the time when PCIe kernel code started link retraining (as
part of ASPM code) when at the same time PCIe link went down and ath9k probably
executed hw reset procedure.

Currently I'm not able to reproduce this issue as it looks like to be
some race condition between link training, ASPM, link down and reset
path. And as always, race conditions which depends on more input
parameters are hard to reproduce as it depends on precise timings.

But it is clear that pointers are zero in this case and should be
properly filled as same code pattern is used in ath9k_stop() function.
Anyway I was able to reproduce this crash by manually triggering ath
reset worker prior putting card up. I created simple patch to export
reset functionality via debugfs and use it to "simulate" of triggering
reset.    s proved that NULL-pointer dereference issue is there.

Function ath9k_hw_reset() is dereferencing chan structure pointer, so it
needs to be non-NULL pointer.

Function ath9k_stop() already contains code which sets ah-&gt;curchan to valid
non-NULL pointer prior calling ath9k_hw_reset() function.

Add same code pattern also into ath_reset_internal() function to prevent
kernel NULL pointer dereference in ath9k_hw_reset() function.

This change fixes kernel NULL pointer dereference in ath9k_hw_reset() which
is caused by calling ath9k_hw_reset() from ath_reset_internal() with NULL
chan structure.

[ Upstream commit 7e79b38fe9a403b065ac5915465f620a8fb3de84 ]

The libertas driver was trying to register sysfs groups "by hand" which
causes them to be created _after_ the device is initialized and
announced to userspace, which causes races and can prevent userspace
tools from seeing the sysfs files correctly.

Fix this up by using the built-in sysfs_groups pointers in struct
net_device which were created for this very reason, fixing the race
condition, and properly allowing for any error that might have occured
to be handled properly.

commit 30b0e0ee9d02b97b68705c46b41444786effc40c upstream.

If alloc_workqueue() fails, properly catch this and propagate the error
to the calling functions, so that the devuce initialization will
properly error out.

commit 68c5634c4a7278672a3bed00eb5646884257c413 upstream.

This reverts commit 765976285a8c8db3f0eb7f033829a899d0c2786e.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted.  It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.

This commit is not correct, it should not have used unlikely() and is
not propagating the error properly to the calling function, so it should
be reverted at this point in time.  Also, if the check failed, the
work queue was still assumed to be allocated, so further accesses would
have continued to fail, meaning this patch does nothing to solve the
root issues at all.
