Bluetooth: Set P-bit for SREJ frame only if there are I-frames to ack
SREJ frame with P-bit set acknowledges I-frames numbered up to
(ReqSeq - 1). With this patch P-bit in SREJ is set only when there are
some I-frames to ack.
This fixes ambiguous situation when lost of I-frame with TxSeq=0 would
result in sending SREJ acking all previous I-frames.
Consider following scenario:
TxWindow=3
HostA: sent I-frame TxSeq=0
HostA: sent I-frame TxSeq=1
HostA: sent I-frame TxSeq=2
HostB: missed I-frame TxSeq=0
HostB: received I-frame TxSeq=1
HostB: sent SREJ ReqSeq=0 Pbit=1
HostA: received SREJ ReqSeq=0 Pbit=1 <- All I-frames acked or not?

Bluetooth: Sort to-be-resolved devices by RSSI during discovery
This patch makes sure that devices with stronger signal (RSSI closer to
0) are sorted first in the resolve list and will therefore get their
names resolved first during device discovery. Since it's more likely
that the device the user is trying to discover has a strong signal due
to its proximity this ensures that the user gets the "device found"
event for it more quickly.

rtlwifi: Fix PCI probe error path orphaned memory
Memory allocated by ieee80211_alloc_hw() will get orphaned
if any subsequent initializations fail.
Also don't pci_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL) until just before disabling
the PCI device. Functions called by rtl_deinit_core(hw) may eventually need
the context (when its actually implemented).

mac80211: support hw scan while idle
Currently, mac80211 goes to idle-off before starting a scan.
However, some devices that implement hw scan might not
need going idle-off in order to perform a hw scan, and
thus saving some energy and simplifying their state machine.
(Note that this is also the case for sched scan - it
currently doesn't make mac80211 go idle-off)
Add a new flag to indicate support for hw scan while idle.

mwifiex: fix NULL pointer dereference in set_channel()
In set_channel() callback handler, "priv" pointer is derived from
net_device. Sometimes net_device pointer coming from the stack
is NULL which causes kernel crash.
This patch fixes the problem by deriving "priv" from wiphy
when net_device pointer is NULL.

mwl8k: Remove BSSID from the firmware when the BSS is stopped
Using command DEL_MAC_ADDR, remove the mac address of the BSS
when it is stopped i.e the corresponding vif is removed. Without
this, the stale bss entry will still be maintained in the firmware
which causes issues when the BSS's are recreated.

ath9k: cleanup a min_t() cast
If the firmware was over 2G, it would cause memory corruption and the
system would die here. Obviously we all know the firmware isn't going
to be that large but static checkers get upset.
