staging: rtl8723au: hal: check BT_Active and BT_State with correct bit pattern

2016-08-21T16:35:46Z

BT_Active and BT_State are being masked with 0x00ffffff so it the subsequent comparisons with 0xffffffff are therefore a buggy check. Instead, check them against 0x00ffffff. Unfortunately I couldn't find a datasheet or hardware to see if 0xffffffff is an expected invalid bit pattern that should be checked before BT_Active and BT_State are masked with 0x00ffffff, so for now, this fix seems like the least risky approach.

staging: r8723au: Remove unused semaphores

2016-08-21T16:30:35Z

The semaphores xmit_sema, terminate_xmitthread_sema, tx_retevt and io_req have no users, hence remove all references to them. Semaphores are going away in the future. Signed-off-by: Binoy Jayan Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: r8723au: pwrctrl_priv: Replace semaphore lock with mutex

2016-08-21T16:30:35Z

The semaphore 'lock' in pwrctrl_priv is a simple mutex, so it should be written as one. Semaphores are going away in the future. Signed-off-by: Binoy Jayan Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

nl80211: support beacon report scanning

2016-07-06T12:51:31Z

Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received (both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the request mode is table, this information is optional. In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel dwell time for the measurement. In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time to scan results information. Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

Merge tag 'staging-4.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging

2016-05-21T05:20:48Z

Pull staging and IIO driver updates from Greg KH: "Here's the big staging and iio driver update for 4.7-rc1. I think we almost broke even with this release, only adding a few more lines than we removed, which isn't bad overall given that there's a bunch of new iio drivers added. The Lustre developers seem to have woken up from their sleep and have been doing a great job in cleaning up the code and pruning unused or old cruft, the filesystem is almost readable :) Other than that, just a lot of basic coding style cleanups in the churn. All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'staging-4.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging: (938 commits) Staging: emxx_udc: emxx_udc: fixed coding style issue staging/gdm724x: fix "alignment should match open parenthesis" issues staging/gdm724x: Fix avoid CamelCase staging: unisys: rename misleading var ii with frag staging: unisys: visorhba: switch success handling to error handling staging: unisys: visorhba: main path needs to flow down the left margin staging: unisys: visorinput: handle_locking_key() simplifications staging: unisys: visorhba: fail gracefully for thread creation failures staging: unisys: visornic: comment restructuring and removing bad diction staging: unisys: fix format string %Lx to %llx for u64 staging: unisys: remove unused struct members staging: unisys: visorchannel: correct variable misspelling staging: unisys: visorhba: replace functionlike macro with function staging: dgnc: Need to check for NULL of ch staging: dgnc: remove redundant condition check staging: dgnc: fix 'line over 80 characters' staging: dgnc: clean up the dgnc_get_modem_info() staging: lustre: lnet: enable configuration per NI interface staging: lustre: o2iblnd: properly set ibr_why staging: lustre: o2iblnd: remove last of kiblnd_tunables_fini ...

staging: rtl8723au: Add warning about this driver being deprecated

2016-04-29T17:38:23Z

This driver is deprecated and superseded by rtl8xxxu. It will be removed in a future kernel release. Add a warning to Kconfig and at device init time to notify users and allow them time to switch over. Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_band

2016-04-12T13:56:15Z

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
