Revert a hunk in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c introduced by
commit 2577c6e8f232 ("ath9k_hw: Add support for AR946/8x chipsets") that
caused a nasty regression to appear on my Acer Ferrari One (the box
locks up entirely at random times after the wireless has been started
without any way to get debug information out of it).

<title>Net, libertas: Resolve memory leak in if_spi_host_to_card()</title>

If we hit the default case in the switch in if_spi_host_to_card() we'll leak
the memory we allocated for 'packet'. This patch resolves the leak by freeing
the allocated memory in that case.

<title>rt2x00: Fix sleep-while-atomic bug in powersaving code.</title>

<id>ed66ba472a742cd8df37d7072804b2111cdb1014</id>
<content type='text'>
The generic powersaving code that determines after reception of a frame
whether the device should go back to sleep or whether is could stay
awake was calling rt2x00lib_config directly from RX tasklet context.
On a number of the devices this call can actually sleep, due to having
to confirm that the sleeping commands have been executed successfully.

Fix this by moving the call to rt2x00lib_config to a workqueue call.

This fixes bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731672

Firmware expects 'max_ssid_length' field in
'struct mwifiex_ie_types_wildcard_ssid_params' to be '0' for
performing SSID specific scan. Currently driver updates it with
an actual SSID length. Hence UUT is not able to find the AP
configured in hidden SSID mode in scan results and association
fails.

max_ssid_length is filled with '0' to fix the issue.

<title>iwlwifi: avoid a panic when unloading the module with RF Kill</title>

When HW RF kill switch is set to kill the radio, our NIC issues an
interrupt after we stop the APM module. When we unload the module,
the driver disables and cleans the interrupts before stopping the
APM. So we have a real interrupt (inta not zero) pending.
When this interrupts pops up the tasklet has already been killed
and we crash.

Here is a logical description of the flow:

disable and clean interrupts
synchronize interrupts
kill the tasklet

stop the APM &lt;&lt;== creates an RF kill interrupt

free_irq &lt;&lt;== somehow our ISR is called here and we crash

Here is the panic message:
