<title>nl80211: increase wiphy dump size dynamically</title>

Given a device with many channels capabilities the wiphy
information can still overflow even though its size in
3.9 was reduced to 3.8 levels. For new userspace and
kernel 3.10 we're going to implement a new "split dump"
protocol that can use multiple messages per wiphy.

For now though, add a workaround to be able to send more
information to userspace. Since generic netlink doesn't
have a way to set the minimum dump size globally, and we
wouldn't really want to set it globally anyway, increase
the size only when needed, as described in the comments.
As userspace might not be prepared for large buffers, we
can only use 4k.

Also increase the size for the get_wiphy command.

Just like the radar information, the TCP WoWLAN capability
data can increase the wiphy information and make it too
big. Remove the TCP WoWLAN information; no driver supports
it and new userspace tools will be required as well.

The wiphy information is getting very close to being too
much for a typical netlink dump message and adding the
radar attributes to channels and interface combinations
can push it over the limit, which means userspace gets no
information whatsoever. Therefore, remove these again for
now, no driver actually supports radar detection anyway
and a modified userspace is required as well.

We're working on a solution that will allow userspace to
request splitting the information across multiple netlink
messages, which will allow us to add this back.

John W. Linville says:

====================
This probably is the last big pull request for wireless bits
for 3.9.  Of course, I'm sure there will be a few stragglers here
and there...surely a few bug fixes as well... :-) (In fact, I see
that Johannes has already queued-up a few more for me while I was
preparing this...)

Included are a number of pulls...

For mac80211-next, Johannes says:

"The biggest change I have is undoubtedly Marco's mesh powersave
implementation. Beyond that, I have a patch from Emmanuel to modify the
DTIM period API in mac80211, scan improvements and a removal of some
previous workaround code from Stanislaw, dynamic short slot time from
Thomas and 64-bit station byte counters from Vladimir. I also made a
number of changes myself, some related to WoWLAN, some auth/deauth
improvements and most of them BSS list cleanups."

"This time, I have relatively large number of fixes in various areas of
the code (a memory leak in regulatory, an RX race in mac80211, the new
radar checking caused a P2P device problem, some mesh issues with
stations, an older bug in tracing and for kernel-doc) as well as a
number of small new features. The biggest (in the diffstat) is my work
on hidden SSID tracking."

"Please pull to get
 * radar detection work from Simon
 * mesh improvements from Thomas
 * a connection monitoring/powersave fix from Wojciech
 * TDLS-related station management work from Jouni
 * VLAN crypto fixes from Michael Braun
 * CCK support in minstrel_ht from Felix
 * an SMPS (not SMSP, oops) related improvement in mac80211 (Emmanuel)
 * some WoWLAN work from Amitkumar Karwar: pattern match offset and a
   documentation fix
 * some WoWLAN work from myself (TCP connection wakeup feature API)
 * and a lot of VHT (and some HT) work (also from myself)

And a number of more random cleanups/fixes. I merged mac80211/master to
avoid a merge problem there."

And regarding iwlwifi-next, Johannes says:

"We continue work on our new driver, but I also have a WoWLAN and AP mode
improvement for the previous driver and a change to use threaded
interrupts to prepare us for working with non-PCIe devices."

Regarding wl12xx, Luca says:

"A few more patches intended for 3.9.  Mostly some clean-ups I've been
doing to make it easier to support device-tree.  Also including one bug
fix for wl12xx where the rates we advertise were wrong and an update in
the wlconf structure to support newer firmwares."

For the nfc-next bits, Samuel says:

"This is the second NFC pull request for 3.9.

We have:

- A few pn533 fixes on top of Waldemar refactorization of the driver, one of
  them fixes target mode.

- A new driver for Inside Secure microread chipset. It supports two
  physical layers: i2c and MEI. The MEI one depends on a patchset that's
  been sent to Greg Kroah-Hartman for inclusion into the 3.9 kernel [1]. The
  dependency is a KConfig one which means this code is not buildable as long
  as the MEI API is not usptream."

"This 3rd NFC pull request for 3.9 contains a fix for the microread MEI
physical layer support, as the MEI bus API changed.

From the MEI code, we now pass the MEI id back to the driver probe routine,
and we also pass a name and a MEI id table through the mei_bus_driver
structure. A few renames as well like e.g. mei_bus_driver to mei_driver or
mei_bus_client to mei_device in order to be closer to the driver model
practices."

For the ath6kl bits, Kalle says:

"There's not anything special here, most of the patches are just code
cleanup. The only functional changes are using the beacon interval from user
space and fixing a crash which happens when inserting and removing the
module in a loop."

Also, I pulled the wireless tree in order to resolve some pending
merge issues.  On top of that, there is a bunch of work on brcmfmac
that leads up to P2P support.  Also, mwifiex, rtlwifi, and a variety
of other drivers see some basic cleanups and minor enhancements.

Please let me know if there are problems!
