This is a batch of updates intended for 3.7. The ath9k, mwifiex,
and b43 drivers get the bulk of the commits this time, with a handful
of other driver bits thrown-in. It is mostly just minor fixes and
cleanups, etc.
Also included is a Bluetooth pull, with a lot of refactoring.

tcp: ecn: dont delay ACKS after CE
While playing with CoDel and ECN marking, I discovered a
non optimal behavior of receiver of CE (Congestion Encountered)
segments.
In pathological cases, sender has reduced its cwnd to low values,
and receiver delays its ACK (by 40 ms).
While RFC 3168 6.1.3 (The TCP Receiver) doesn't explicitly recommend
to send immediate ACKS, we believe its better to not delay ACKS, because
a CE segment should give same signal than a dropped segment, and its
quite important to reduce RTT to give ECE/CWR signals as fast as
possible.
Note we already call tcp_enter_quickack_mode() from TCP_ECN_check_ce()
if we receive a retransmit, for the same reason.

net: tcp: GRO should be ECN friendly
While doing TCP ECN tests, I discovered GRO was reordering packets if it
receives one packet with CE set, while previous packets in same NAPI run
have ECT(0) for the same flow :
09:25:25.857620 IP (tos 0x2,ECT(0), ttl 64, id 27893, offset 0, flags
[DF], proto TCP (6), length 4396)
172.30.42.19.54550 > 172.30.42.13.44139: Flags [.], seq
233801:238145, ack 1, win 115, options [nop,nop,TS val 3397779 ecr 1990627], length 4344
09:25:25.857626 IP (tos 0x3,CE, ttl 64, id 27892, offset 0, flags [DF],
proto TCP (6), length 1500)
172.30.42.19.54550 > 172.30.42.13.44139: Flags [.], seq
232353:233801, ack 1, win 115, options [nop,nop,TS val 3397779 ecr 1990627], length 1448
If NIC gave packet1, then packet2, which happen to be from "different
flows" GRO feeds stack with packet2, then packet1. I have yet to
understand how to solve this problem.
2) GRO is not ECN friendly
Delivering packets out of order makes TCP stack not as fast as it could
be.
In this patch I suggest we make the tos test not part of the 'same_flow'
determination, but part of the 'should flush' logic

mwifiex: improve scan delay logic during Tx traffic
Earlier scan command was postponed by 20msec multiple times to give
preference to Tx traffic until we find empty wmm queue.
There is a corner case in which wmm queue becomes empty immediately
after processing the packet(before 20msec) and there may be next
packet coming after some time. In this case we should not resume scan
operation.
We will use new flag to check Tx traffic and resume scan operation
only if there is no traffic for 200msec.

mwifiex: do le_to_cpu conversion for Rx packet header elements
We do similar conversion for Tx packet header but it was missing
for Rx packet header. Without this fix, Rx packet header won't
be correctly parsed on big endian platform.
Padding arithmetic will always work for MSDUs provided first MSDU
ends on 4-byte boundary. Fixing it by making sure that all MSDU ends
on 4-byte boundary.
Since commit: fb3c19bc9687d972b83faf366b38ac807eca8f25, adding
extra padding to AMSDU is redundant since same is being performed at
mwifiex_11n_aggregate_pkt after forming the AMSDU packet. Fixing it
by removing it.
All MSDU subframes, except the first one in AMSDU, were being written
wrongly at the location of first MSDU frame. Fixing that by copying
the MSDU at skb->tail of AMSDU.
