====================
Lots of updates for net-next; along with the usual flurry
of small fixes, cleanups and internal features we have:
* VHT support for TDLS and IBSS (conditional on drivers though)
* first TX performance improvements (the biggest will come later)
* many suspend/resume (race) fixes
* name_assign_type support from Tom Gundersen
====================

This will expose in /sys whether the ifname of a device is set by
userspace or generated by the kernel. The latter kind (wlanX, etc)
is not deterministic, so userspace needs to rename these devices
to names that are guaranteed to stay the same between reboots. The
former, however should never be renamed, so userspace needs to be
able to reliably tell the difference.
Similar functionality was introduced for the rtnetlink core in
commit 5517750f05 ("net: rtnetlink - make create_link take name_assign_type")

In some rare circumstances the escan protection timer can expire
before the setup completed (due to long timeouts on IOCTL). This
patch avoids this situation by setting the timer after the setup
completed correctly.

When a key is set or cleared with an unsupported key index then
brcmfmac will print an error. With most wpa_supplicants this is
happening a lot. The error print is confusing and not needed.

The driver always called cfg80211_disconnected() with reason parameter
set to zero, ie. unknown. However, firmware does provide a valid
802.11 reason code in DEAUTH and DISASSOC event message to the driver.
This patch passes the reason code to cfg80211_disconnected().

This patch introduces the use of function put_unaligned_le32.

This is really just duplicating the list of information that's
already available in the nl80211 attribute, so remove the list.
Two small changes are needed:
* remove STATION_INFO_ASSOC_REQ_IES complete, but the length
(assoc_req_ies_len) can be used instead
* add NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_DROP_MISC which exists internally
but not in nl80211 yet
This gets rid of the duplicate maintenance of the two lists.

When the driver gets beacon info containing a country IE from user-space
upon .start_ap() callback, it will enable regulatory 802.11d support.

When user-space uses a valid ISO-3166-1 country code for its
regulatory domain selection, the driver will try to configure
the firmware to use the same.

When a device is configured for AP mode and it is configured for
WEP then the keys are plumbed first, followed by AP configuration.
During configuration a down command is given to the firmware which
will clear the configured keys. This patch reprograms the WEP keys
after AP has been brought up.

When the driver has sent a join iovar to the firmware it waits
for the events to report result of the connection. However, the
wpa_supplicant will request a .disconnect() after a timeout. So
upon calling .disconnect() the interface state may still be
CONNECTING. Clear the CONNECTING bit as well.

The patch fixes a static checker warning:
drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c:2965
brcmf_cfg80211_set_pmksa()
warn: can 'pmkid_len' be negative?
The answer to the question above is likely no so changing its
type to unsigned is sufficient.
