carl9170: add support for the new rate control API
With the new rate control API, the driver can now apply the
tx rate to outgoing frames just before they are uploaded to
the device. This is important because the rate control can
now react to fading or improving links a bit sooner.
Also, the driver no longer needs to sort the outgoing frames
for sample attempts (which affected the size of A-MPDUs and
the throughput of the link). For aggregated data frames, the
driver (and rate control) needs only to calculate and apply
a single set of tx rates to every subframe of the whole
aggregate.

iwlwifi: create opmode/device dependencies
The older devices (pre-7000/3000 series) all only work with the
DVM opmode due to firmware availability, while newer ones will

When building a driver that only has one of MVM or DVM, there's
no reason to build the device support and have the PCIe IDs for
all devices since they can't be used anyway, so avoid that.

The commits,
"ath9k: Fix regression in channelwidth switch at the same channel"
"ath9k: Fix invalid noisefloor reading due to channel update"
attempted to fix noisefloor calibration when a channel switch
happens due to HT20/HT40 bandwidth change. This is causing invalid
readings resulting in messages like:
"ath: phy16: NF[0] (-45) > MAX (-95), correcting to MAX".
This results in an incorrect noise being used initially for reporting
the signal level of received packets, until NF calibration is done
and the history buffer is updated via the ANI timer, which happens
much later.
When a bandwidth change happens, it is appropriate to reset
the internal history data for the channel. Do this correctly in the

but it is not always reliable. Sometimes the vendor and/or

b43: stop format string leaking into error msgs
The module parameter "fwpostfix" is userspace controllable, unfiltered,
and is used to define the firmware filename. b43_do_request_fw() populates
ctx->errors[] on error, containing the firmware filename. b43err()
parses its arguments as a format string. For systems with b43 hardware,
this could lead to a uid-0 to ring-0 escalation.

The ath9k rate control algorithm has various architectural
issues that make it a poor fit in scenarios like congested
environments etc.
An example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927191
Change the default to minstrel which is more robust in such cases.
The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can
be removed altogether later on.

This change reduces rx sensitivity with no apparent extra benefit.
It looks like it was meant for testing in a specific scenario,
but it was never properly validated.

Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
stability.

wl12xx/wl18xx: scan all 5ghz channels
Due to a typo, the current code copies only sizeof(cmd->channels_2)
bytes, which is smaller than the correct sizeof(cmd->channels_5)
size, resulting in a partial scan (some channels are skipped).

wl12xx: fix minimum required firmware version for wl127x multirole
There was a typo in commit 8675f9 (wlcore/wl12xx/wl18xx: verify
multi-role and single-role fw versions), which was causing the
multirole firmware for wl127x (WiLink6) to be rejected. The actual
minimum version needed for wl127x multirole is 6.5.7.0.42.
