2009-06-15debugfs: Fix terminology inconsistency of dir name to mount debugfs filesystem.GeunSik Lim
Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/" directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to ./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file. And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation, Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem. debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name of debugfs filesystem. - debugfs related reference: http://lwn.net/Articles/334546/ Fix inconsistency of directory name to mount debugfs filesystem. * From Steven Rostedt - find_debugfs() and tracing_files() in this patch.

2009-06-15iwlwifi/iwl3945: fix suspend resume association bugAbhijeet Kolekar
Patch fixes the following bugs at http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2005 http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2007 If we suspend with an association and then resumed, we need to synchronize the active rxon with staging rxon, else we will get an error when iwl_alive_start try to commit rxon and staging is set to channel 0. Before going to suspend staging and active rxon are in sync. After resuming from the suspend, iwl_mac_start is called and it clears the staging rxon. Patch fixes the bug by not clearing the staging rxon in iwl_mac_start. Patch also adds similar fix to 3945.

2009-06-15libertas: fix IEEE PS mode in GSPI driverAndrey Yurovsky
The card firmware does not set the Command Download Ready interrupt bit when IEEE PS mode is enabled, preventing the driver from sending commands (such as the command to exit IEEE PS mode) since there is no indication that the card is ready to accept commands. This patch works around the problem by using the the TX Download Ready bit in place of the Command Download Ready Bit while in IEEE PS mode. TX Download Ready is set in IEEE PS mode.

AGGR_ADDBA_PROGRESS should be cleared in aggr state when addba negotiation is terminated due to either addba response is timed out or addba is denied by the AP.

2009-06-10ar9170: xmit code revampChristian Lamparter
This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code. In the past, we didn't limit the amount of active tx urbs. However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for pending data frames. This wasn't much of a problem with the slower 802.11b/g. We simply stopped the full queue and moved on to something different in the mean time.

Patch fixes the bug at http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1903 when SW rfkill is invoked by 'iwconfig txpower off', the existing connection disassociates and led off command is sent to the device which returns error as rfkill is 'true'. Patch fixes this by just avoiding sending the led off/on command when disassociated. The main purpose of the led_disassociate callback is to start or stop the blinking. There are three states in led 1) Always on when radio is on 2) Always off when radio is off 3) blink when associated and if there is some traffic. In this callback 'allow_blinking' needs to be set false when associated, as LED will be always on.

This patch is to incorporate Dan Williams' comments for commit: "libertas: implement function init/shutdown commands for SD8688" 1. remove fn_init_required and fn_shutdown_required variables from lbs_private structure. If required, __lbs_cmd() will be called directly to send function init/shutdown command for SD8688 in if_sdio_probe() or if_sdio_remove() callback. 2. add global variable "user_rmmod" to distinguish between the module removal case and the card removal case. This flag will be checked in if_sdio_remove() against SD8688 card to determine whether or not the function shutdown command needs to be sent. 3. remove "card" from if_sdio_model structure as it cannot store card pointers for multiple cards.

This patch gets rid of the statically allocated p54usb firmware string, and replaces them with const char pointers. Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
