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 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJfFWQeAAoJEG4XJFUm622bVAwH/3r2oR+NS1kNDNGi9nrLAIav trLgPa2VbgPVgTcwIckfvZFl6BK9zo1KG6u6jYp45C6uNBJNESjarf8aLAXvXdFt t0yBkb6OCUq+efoOFbxV2im6ER57aN27POsn74xrCeR3fwZgY9QSHRMjQ5x1tjWH JdVatT6jtu2LuxsTjfS0K5kjeuyE0vE1iCUlsQ5qwcSLODGa9u7ydheoNcLOHvss ACun8zXvWqJhTar+iJHiTJTWyQPE6es0V1SAw0RnTuLRRmtv/Q9Zx4YOH2d3JkOC 55mfgO3uNzw8fcJ5hoILHtXxhI2qtSkdydIFbE1U9CgBKE39Uo0VgFf9fl6VJRg= =7a5a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'wireless-drivers-next-2020-07-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next Kalle Valo says: ==================== wireless-drivers-next patches for v5.9 First set of patches for v5.9.

|

This option enables the deprecated WDS support, the newer
|
|
mac80211-based 4-addr AP/client support supersedes it with
|
|
a much better feature set (HT, VHT, ...)
|
|
|
|
We plan to remove this option and code, so if you find
|
|
that you have to enable it, please let us know on the
|
|
linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org mailing list, so we can
|
|
help you migrate to 4-addr AP/client (or, if it's really
|
|
necessary, give up on our plan of removing it).

Buffalo WLI-U2-KG125S
|
|
U.S. Robotics USR5421
|
|
Belkin F5D7051
