John W. Linville says: ==================== Please pull this batch of wireless updates intended for 3.15! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This has a whole bunch of bugfixes for things that went into -next previously as well as some other bugfixes I didn't want to rush into 3.14 at this point. The rest of it is some cleanups and a few small features, the biggest of which is probably Janusz's regulatory DFS CAC time code." For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "One more pull request to 3.15. This is mostly and bug fix pull request, it contains several fixes and clean up all over the tree, plus some small new features." For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "This is the NFC pull request for 3.15. With this one we have: - Support for ISO 15693 a.k.a. NFC vicinity a.k.a. Type 5 tags. ISO 15693 are long range (1 - 2 meters) vicinity tags/cards. The kernel now supports those through the NFC netlink and digital APIs. - Support for TI's trf7970a chipset. This chipset relies on the NFC digital layer and the driver currently supports type 2, 4A and 5 tags. - Support for NXP's pn544 secure firmare download. The pn544 C3 chipsets relies on a different firmware download protocal than the C2 one. We now support both and use the right one depending on the version we detect at runtime. - Support for 4A tags from the NFC digital layer. - A bunch of cleanups and minor fixes from Axel Lin and Thierry Escande." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "We were sending a host command while the mutex wasn't held. This led to hard-to-catch races." And... "I have a fix for a "merge damage" which is not really a merge damage: it enables scheduled scan which has been disabled in wireless.git. Since you merged wireless.git into wireless-next.git, this can now be fixed in wireless-next.git. Besides this, Alex made a workaround for a hardware bug. This fix allows us to consume less power in S3. Arik and Eliad continue to work on D0i3 which is a run-time power saving feature. Eliad also contributes a few bits to the rate scaling logic to which Eyal adds his own contribution. Avri dives deep in the power code - newer firmware will allow to enable power save in newer scenarios. Johannes made a few clean-ups. I have the regular amount of BT Coex boring stuff. I disable uAPSD since we identified firmware bugs that cause packet loss. One thing that do stand out is the udev event that we now send when the FW asserts. I hope it will allow us to debug the FW more easily." Also included is one last iwlwifi pull for a build breakage fix... For the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "Michal now did some optimisations and was able to improve throughput by 100 Mbps on our MIPS based AP135 platform. Chun-Yeow added some workarounds to be able to better use ad-hoc mode. Ben improved log messages and added support for MSDU chaining. And, as usual, also some smaller fixes." Beyond that... Andrea Merello continues his rtl8180 refactoring, in preparation for a long-awaited rtl8187 driver. We get a new driver (rsi) for the RS9113 chip, from Fariya Fatima. And, of course, we get the usual round of updates for ath9k, brcmfmac, mwifiex, wil6210, etc. as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |
