The UDP reuseport conflict was a little bit tricky.
The net-next code, via bpf-next, extracted the reuseport handling
into a helper so that the BPF sk lookup code could invoke it.
At the same time, the logic for reuseport handling of unconnected
sockets changed via commit efc6b6f6c3
which changed the logic to carry on the reuseport result into the
rest of the lookup loop if we do not return immediately.
This requires moving the reuseport_has_conns() logic into the callers.
While we are here, get rid of inline directives as they do not belong
in foo.c files.
The other changes were cases of more straightforward overlapping
modifications.

wireless-drivers-next patches for v5.9
First set of patches for v5.9. This comes later than usual as I was
offline for two weeks. The biggest change here is moving Microchip
wilc1000 driver from staging. There was an immutable topic branch with
one commit moving the whole driver and the topic branch was pulled
both to staging-next and wireless-drivers-next. At the moment the only
reported conflict is in MAINTAINERS file, so I'm hoping the move
should go smoothly.
Other notable changes are ath11k getting 6 GHz band support and rtw88
supporting RTL8821CE. And there's also the usual fixes, API changes
and cleanups all over.
Major changes:
wilc1000
* move from drivers/staging to drivers/net/wireless/microchip
ath11k
* add 6G band support
* add spectral scan support
iwlwifi
* make FW reconfiguration quieter by not using warn level
rtw88
* add support for RTL8821CE

The napi_gro_receive function no longer returns GRO_DROP ever, making
handling GRO_DROP dead code. This commit removes that dead code.
Further, it's not even clear that device drivers have any business in
taking action after passing off received packets; that's arguably out of
their hands. In this case, too, the non-gro path didn't bother checking
the return value. Plus, this had some clunky debugging functions that
duplicated code from elsewhere and was generally pretty messy. So, this
commit cleans that all up too.

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator

which is creating a race where stats_req is being accessed
for filling in second message after the memory is already
freed in release operation. Fix this by issuing completion
once all the messages are received and processed. Driver
