Merge branch 'for-davem' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless
John Linville says: ==================== Amitkumar Karwar gives us two mwifiex fixes: one fixes some skb manipulations when handling some event messages; and another that does some similar fixing on an error path. Avinash Patil gives us a fix for for a memory leak in mwifiex. Dan Rosenberg offers an NFC NCI fix to enforce some message length limits to prevent buffer overflows. Eliad Peller provides a mac80211 fix to prevent some frames from being built with an invalid BSSID. Eric Dumazet sends an NFC fix to prevent a BUG caused by a NULL pointer dereference. Felix Fietkau has an ath9k fix for a regression causing LEAP-authenticated connection failures. Johannes Berg provides an iwlwifi fix that eliminates some log SPAM after an authentication/association timeout. He also provides a mac80211 fix to prevent incorrectly addressing certain action frames (and in so doing, to comply with the 802.11 specs). Larry Finger provides a few USB IDs for the rtl8192cu driver -- should be harmless. Panayiotis Karabassis provices a one-liner to fix kernel bug 42903 (a system freeze). Randy Dunlap provides a one-line Kconfig change to prevent build failures with some configurations. Stone Piao provides an mwifiex sequence numbering fix and a fix to prevent mwifiex from attempting to include eapol frames in an aggregation frame. Finally, Tom Hughes provides an ath9k fix for a NULL pointer dereference. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
