c389874805 viafb: package often used basic io functions
This patch puts redesigned versions of the basic io functions that
are used overall the driver in an extra header. It is prefixed with
via_ as no framebuffer dependend stuff is in there. They were inlined
as they are really simple which reduced the module size about 2.5%.
The parameter order of read and write was fixed as it really doesn't
make sense to change the order as they are parts of the same address
and not source and destination.
Wrapper which use the new functions were added to hw.h to replicate
the old interface and avoid changing all old code.

7e0de02268 viafb: add a driver for GPIO lines
This is a simple gpiolib driver giving access to the GPIO lines in the
VIA framebuffer system.  A simple mechanism exists for switching lines
between GPIO and I2C, but it's only compile-time for now.

24b4d82e47 viafb: Separate global and fb-specific data
This patch moves data of interest into a new viafb_dev structure which
describes the device as a whole; the idea here is to create a separation
between what all devices may need and what the framebuffer device in
particular needs.

I've also made some small steps toward thinning out the global.h mess.

f045f77bc0 viafb: Move core stuff into via-core.c
The first step toward turning viafb into a multifunction driver.  This
patch creates a new via-core.c file which serves as the main PCI driver;
everything else comes below that.  Some work has been done to rationalize
the i2c drivers in this new scheme.

fde4e2f732 HID: fix suspend crash by moving initializations earlier
Although the usbhid driver allocates its usbhid structure in the probe
routine, several critical fields in that structure don't get
initialized until usbhid_start().  However if report descriptor
parsing fails then usbhid_start() is never called.  This leads to
problems during system suspend -- the system will freeze.

This patch (as1378) fixes the bug by moving the initialization
statements up into usbhid_probe().

0a31a44865 drm/i915: Use spatio-temporal dithering on PCH
Spatial dither is better than nothing, but ST is even better.

(from ajax's followup message:)
  I noticed this with:

  http://ajax.fedorapeople.org/YellowFlower.jpg

  set as my desktop background in Gnome on a 1280x800 machine (in
  particular, a Sony Vaio VPCB1 with 6-bit panel and a rather bright black
  level).  Easiest way to test this is by poking at PIPEACONF with
  intel_reg_write directly:

  % sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0xc0000040 # no dither
  % sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0xc0000050 # spatial
  % sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0xc0000054 # ST

  I notice it especially strongly in the relatively flat dark area in the
  top left.  Closer than about 18" I can see a noticeable checkerboard
  pattern with plain spatial dithering.  ST smooths that out; I can still
  tell that it's lacking color precision, but it's not offensive.

1affa09197 rt2x00: rt2800: use correct txop value in tx descriptor
rt2800 devices use a different enumeration to specify what IFS values should
be used on frame transmission compared to the other rt2x00 devices. Hence,
create a new enum called txop that contains the valid values.

Furthermore use the appropriate txop values as found in the ralink drivers:
- TXOP_BACKOFF for management frames
- TXOP_SIFS for subsequent fragments in a burst
- TXOP_HTTXOP for all data frames

cbd1ea87a1 wl1271: Reduce PSM entry hang over period from 128 => 1 ms
Currently, we configure a 128ms hang over period for the PSM entry
(the firmware will remain active for 128ms after sending the null func for
PSM and getting an ack for it.) This is a huge power consumption issue, and
appears unnecessary. So, configure the value to 1 ms.

69e5434cd5 wl1271: Fix to join and channel number handling
This patch changes the way JOIN's are performed, and channel numbers updated.
The reason for this is that the firmware JOIN command clears WPA(2) key
material, and if done while associated to a WPA(2) secured AP, will render
the data-path unusable.

While the channel is not usually changed while associated (and currently we
could not even support something like that), after performing a scan operation
while associated, mac80211 will re-set the current channel to the driver. This
caused our problem.

Also, the mac80211 is assuming that the driver channel configuration remains
persistent over periods of IDLE. Therefore remove channel resetting to zero
from the unjoin function.

ath9k_common (used by ath9k and ath9k_htc) trusts the frames
blessed by hardware as OK are infact correct even if the rate
seen by the driver is unrecognized. ath9k_common just treats
these frames in mac80211 as frames as frames under 1 mbps rate.
It seems this might not be the best thing to do as other parts of
the frame might not be valid so just drop these frames for now.

55f9321a02 rt2x00: Fix RF3052 channel initialization
Update channel initialization for the RF3052 chipset.
According to the Ralink drivers, the rt3x array must be
used for this chipset, rather then the rt2x array.

Furthermore RF3052 supports the 5GHz band, extend
the rt3x array with the 5GHz channels, and use them
for the RF3052 chip.

809bfe81ce rt2x00: rt2800: don't overwrite SIFS values on erp changes
The SIFS value is a constant and doesn't need to be updated on erp changes.
Furthermore the code used 10us for both, the OFDM SIFS and CCK SIFS time
which broke CTS protected 11g connections (see patch "rt2x00: rt2800: update
initial SIFS values" for details).

a21c2ab421 rt2x00: rt2800: update initial SIFS values
Currently the CCK and OFDM SIFS value is set to 32us. This value is neither
used by the Ralink driver nor specified in 802.11.

Instead of using 10us for CCK SIFS (as defined in 802.11) use 16us like in the
Ralink drivers. And indeed using a SIFS value of 10us breaks connectivity with
11g + CTS protected connections. Add a comment to the code why we don't use 10us
for CCK SIFS value.

The OFDM SIFS value is set to 16us (as defined in 802.11 and also used by the
Ralink drivers).

9c6dda4e2d ath9k_htc: Fix beaconing in IBSS mode
The current way of managing beaconing in ad-hoc
mode has a subtle race - the beacon obtained from mac80211
is freed in the SWBA handler rather than the TX
completion routine. But transmission of beacons goes
through the normal SKB queue maintained in hif_usb,
leading to a situation where __skb_dequeue() in the TX
completion handler goes kaput.

Fix this by simply getting a beacon from mac80211 for
every SWBA and free it in its completion routine.

0aaffa9b96 mac80211: improve HT channel handling
Currently, when one interface switches HT mode,
all others will follow along. This is clearly
undesirable, since the new one might switch to
no-HT while another one is operating in HT.

Address this issue by keeping track of the HT
mode per interface, and allowing only changes
that are compatible, i.e. switching into HT40+
is not possible when another interface is in
HT40-, in that case the second one needs to
fall back to HT20.

Also, to allow drivers to know what's going on,
store the per-interface HT mode (channel type)
in the virtual interface's bss_conf.

f444de05d2 cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handling
Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid
things like setting up an AP on a certain channel,
then adding another virtual interface and making
that associate on another channel -- this will make
the beaconing to move channel but obviously without
the necessary IEs data update.

In order to improve this situation, first make the
configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of
multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need
that in the future anyway. There's one userland API
change and one API addition. The API change is that
now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface
index rather than only wiphy index in order to take
effect for that interface -- luckily all current
users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the
old setting is preserved, but monitors are always
slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.

The second userland API change is the introduction
of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that
hostapd should use going forward to make it easier
to understand what's going on (it can automatically
detect a kernel with this command).

Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers
are affected by this change because they only allow
a single virtual interface.

mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the
channel settings are per interface now, and needs
to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,
which is another important part of this patch.

One of the immediate benefits is that you can now
start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already
has a connection on another virtual interface, as
long as you specify the same channel.

Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an
improvement -- not a complete fix):

 * different HT/no-HT modes

   currently you could start an HT AP and then
   connect to a non-HT network on the same channel
   which would configure the hardware for no HT;
   that can be fixed fairly easily

 * CSA

   An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface
   might indicate switching channels, and in that
   case we would follow it, regardless of how many
   other interfaces are operating; this requires
   more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all

f3926b49b7 ar9170usb: remove deprecated aggregation code
This patch removes the incomplete AMPDU implementation in ar9170usb.

The code in question is:
 * too big and complex (more than 550 SLOC.)
   This is enough to qualify for a new separate code file!

 * unbalanced quantity & quality
	over-engineered areas like:
		* xmit scheduling and queuing frames for multiple HT peers
		* redundant frame sorting
	are confronted by gaping holes:
		* accurate transmission feedback
		* firmware error-handling and device reset
		* HT rate control algorithm

 * error-prone
	Since its inclusion, hardly anything was done to fix
	any of the outlined flaws from the initial commit message.

   => This also indicates poor maintainability.

 * relies heavily on several spinlocks.

As a result of this shortcomings, the code is slow and does not
even support the most basic 11n requirement: HT station mode.

Therefore, I request to purge my heap of **** from the kernel:
"ar9170: implement transmit aggregation".

The next item on the agenda is: (re-)start from scratch with
an adequate design to accommodate the special requirements
and features of the available frameworks and tools.
