commit 10d0b9030a3f86e1e26c710c7580524d7787d688 upstream.

A typo causes routine rtl92cu_phy_rf6052_set_cck_txpower() to test the
same condition twice. The problem was found using cppcheck-1.49, and the
proper fix was verified against the pre-mac80211 version of the code.

This patch was originally included as commit 1288aa4, but was accidentally
reverted in a later patch.

commit 4afe2156eb639e563d6ef0c2706b66ea400348b2 upstream.

The usb_8dev hardware has problems on some xhci USB hosts. The driver fails to
read the firmware revision in the probe function. This leads to the following
Oops:

    [ 3356.635912] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:5701!

The driver tries to free the netdev, which has already been registered, without
unregistering it.

This patch fixes the problem by unregistering the netdev in the error path.

    rt2800: use BBP_R1 for setting tx power

unfortunately does not work well with RT5390 and RT3290 chips as they
require different temperature compensation TX power settings (TSSI
tuning). Since that commit make wireless connection very unstable on
those chips, restore previous behavior to fix regression. Once we
implement proper TSSI tuning on 5390/3290 we can restore back setting
TX power by BBP_R1 register for those chips.

First step of chain noise calibration process had disable flag
check inverted. Chain noise calibration never started because
of this.

Tested on intel 5300 with two antennas attached. The driver

[ Upstream commit f9ca8f74399f9195fd8e01f67a8424a8d33efa55 ]

Currently, for the packets receives from netback, before doing header check,
kernel just reset the transport header in netif_receive_skb() which pretends non
l4 header. This is suboptimal for precise packet length estimation (introduced
in 1def9238: net_sched: more precise pkt_len computation) which needs correct l4
header for gso packets.

The patch just reuse the header probed by netback for partial checksum packets
and tries to use skb_flow_dissect() for other cases, if both fail, just pretend
no l4 header.

[ Upstream commit 38502af77e07b5d6650b9ff99a0b482d86366592 ]

Currently, for the packets receives from tuntap, before doing header check,
kernel just reset the transport header in netif_receive_skb() which pretends no
l4 header. This is suboptimal for precise packet length estimation (introduced
in 1def9238) which needs correct l4 header for gso packets.

So this patch set the transport header to csum_start for partial checksum
packets, otherwise it first try skb_flow_dissect(), if it fails, just reset the
transport header.
