staging: ath6kl: Fixing a race condition during initialization
The commit fixes a race condition in the initialization portion of the
driver. The problem was observed while testing with the kernel in the
staging-next tree. The wait on the ready event is signalled prematurely
before setting the arVersion.wlan_ver and arVersion.abi_ver. The code
waiting on this semaphore checks for the validity of these values and
hence may proceed with an un-updated values of these fields. The wakeup
signal is now sent after these values are set.
The commit fixes a compilation error that was encountered while using
a specific kernel configuration file. The problem was the use of some
functions defined in <linux/semaphore.h> without including the header
file explicitly. It was probably working before because of the
dependency getting implicitly satisfied via some other header file.

Staging: batman-adv: Use refcnt to track usage count of batman_if
get_batman_if_by_netdev and get_active_batman_if may leak data from the
rcu protected list of interfaces. The rcu protected list of all gateway
nodes leaks the actual data outside the read-side critical area. This is
not valid as we may free the data using a call_rcu created callback
after we unlock using rcu_read_unlock. A workaround is to provide a
reference count to be sure that the memory isn't freed to early.
It is currently only to implement the already existing functionality and
doesn't provide the full tracking of all usage cases.
Additionally, we must hardif_hold inside the
rcu_read_lock()..rcu_read_unlock() before we attach to the structure
which "leaks" it. When another function now removed it from its usage
context (primary_if, usage on stack, ...) then we must hardif_put it. If
it is decremented to zero then we can issue the call_rcu to the freeing
function. So "put" is not allowed inside an rcu_read_lock.

Staging: batman-adv: Always synchronize rcu's on module shutdown
During the module shutdown procedure in batman_exit(), a rcu callback is
being scheduled (batman_exit -> hardif_remove_interfaces ->
hardif_remove_interfae -> call_rcu). However, when the kernel unloads
the module, the rcu callback might not have been executed yet, resulting
in a "unable to handle kernel paging request" in __rcu_process_callback
afterwards, causing the kernel to freeze.
The synchronize_net and synchronize_rcu in mesh_free are currently
called before the call_rcu in hardif_remove_interface and have no real
effect on it.
Therefore, we should always flush all rcu callback functions scheduled
during the shutdown procedure using synchronize_net. The call to
synchronize_rcu can be omitted because synchronize_net already calls it.
This is for the Asahi Kasei AK8975 3-axis magnetometer. It resides within

converting to Gauss.
Changed to use the magn_x,y,z_scale attributes, and made those attributes

VmbusGetChannelInterface() and pointer GetChannelInterface are no longer
