c24bd3620c ath9k: Do not maintain ANI state per-channel
ANI state can be maintained globally instead of per-channel.
This reduces memory usage and since default values are used
during a scan run, per-channel state is not required.

9c8426fc79 ath9k_hw: fix PA predistortion miscalibration
If any bins from the training data are skipped (i != max_index), the
calculated compensation curve gets distorted, and the signal will be
wildly overamplified. This may be the cause of the reported hardware
damage that was caused by PA predistortion (because of which PAPRD was
disabled by default).

When calculating the x_est, Y, theta values, the use of max_index and i
was reversed. i points to the bin index whereas max_index refers to the
index of the calculated arrays.

Note that PA predistortion is still disabled, it will be re-enabled
after it has been properly validated.

e0287c4ab8 wil6210: use NAPI
Introduce NAPI for Rx and Tx completion.

This fixes packet reordering that happens when Rx handled right in
the IRQ: netif_rx puts packet in 'percpu' queue, then network stack
fetches packets from 'percpu' queues for processing, with different
pattern of queue switching. As result, network stack see packets
in different order. This causes hard to understand TCP throughput
degradation in about 30min

Complete polling if only one packet was processed - this eliminates
empty polls that would be otherwise done at the end of each burst

ieee80211_can_queue_work.isra.7+0x30/0x40", which was reported at:

We use ATH_STAT_STARTED flag to disallow to perform
ath5k_tx_complete_poll_work() code, hence reschedule
ah->tx_complete_work, when we stop device. This flag was defined in
ath5k code, but it was not used.

The RX fifo can be accessed from the common tasklet or it can
be reaped/cleaned when RX is stopped, which is done when doing
a reset or channel change - this happens in process context.

Since it is ensured that there are no pending tasklets when
stopping RX and cleaning the FIFO, there is no need to use
SKB queue functions which take internal locks.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

b5d98e9d02 wil6210: Tx init optimization
vring size is known from the beginning, fill it immediately
in the struct initializer
This is minor optimization that reduces code size.

33e611690e wil6210: Use cached copy of Rx descriptor
Rx descriptors stored in non-cacheable memory area for DMA.
Non-cacheable memory causes long access time from CPU.

Copy rx descriptor to the skb->cb, and use this copy.
It provides faster memory access, and will be usefull to keep
Rx information for later processing (BACK reorder)

ab11bb28fb ath9k: always set common->macaddr to the MAC adress of a virtual interface
In some cases it can be useful to change the MAC address of a virtual
interface to something that's completely different from the EEPROM
stored MAC address. In this case it is a bad idea to use the EEPROM MAC
address for calculating the BSSID mask, as that would make it too wide.

In one case a few devices have been observed to send ACKs for many
packets on the channel not directed at them, which results in a neat
Denial of Service attack on the channel.
