      ath9k: Fix kernel panic during driver initilization · 07445f68
      Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan authored 
      

all works need to be initialized before ieee80211_register_hw
to prevent mac80211 call backs such as drv_start, drv_config
getting started. otherwise we would queue/cancel works before
initializing them and it leads to kernel panic.
this issue can be recreated with the following script
in Chrome laptops with AR928X cards, with background scan
running (or) Network manager is running

while true
do
sudo modprobe -v ath9k
sleep 3
sudo modprobe -r ath9k
sleep 3
done

      ath9k_hw: clean up tx power handling · ca2c68cc
      Felix Fietkau authored 
      

The code for handling various restrictions concerning regulatory limits,
antenna gain, etc. is very convoluted and duplicated across various
EEPROM parsing implementations, making it hard to review.

This patch partially cleans up the mess by unifying regulatory limit
handling in one function and simplifying handling of antenna gain.
It also removes unused transmit power scaling arrays from the EEPROM code,
which belonged to an unimplemented API that isn't supposed to be in
the driver anyway.

      net: remove mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h · b7f080cf
      Alexey Dobriyan authored 
      

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually).

To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction"
definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h
via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h".
Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible
on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier.

Hope people are OK with tiny include file.

Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story.
