rtl8187: make CTS-to-self protection work
CTS protection was not working properly because the HW needs
RTS flag to be asserted, and it need also RTS duration field to be
filled with CTS-to-self duration.
This patch makes the driver to do this.

rtl8180: make CTS-to-self protection work

RTS flag to be asserted, and it need also RTS rate field to be
set with CTS-to-self rate and RTS duration field to be filled with
CTS-to-self duration.
This patch makes the driver to do this.

ath9k: Allow platform override without EEPROM override
Add a new platform data flag "use_eeprom" that indicates that the eeprom
found on the card itself should be used instead of the one present in
the platform data.
This allows to override the MAC address of a PCI card while preserving
the eeprom data from the card itself.
The default behavior is preserved.

mwifiex: disable TDLS link upon tear down event
This patch adds code to disable TDLS link upon reception of TDLS

because of TDLS teardown packet from peer or internal timeout
configured during TDLS setup. Event is propogated to cfg80211
so that userspace application can take appropriate action.

This patch adds configuration timeout for TDLS link. This is

is inactive for more than timeout, FW will tear this link.

In case RFKILL is in KILL position, the NIC will issue an
interrupt straight away. This interrupt won't be sent
because it is masked in the hardware.
But if our interrupt service routine is called for another
reason (SHARED_IRQ), then we'll look at the interrupt cause
and service it. This can cause bad things if we are not
ready yet.
Explicitly clean the interrupt cause register to make sure
we won't service anything before we are ready to.

iwlwifi: mvm: fix sparse warning when _DEBUGFS isn't set
Since the declaration of iwl_mvm_fw_error_rxf_dump and
iwl_mvm_fw_error_sram_dump is under
ifdef CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS, do the same for their
implementation.
Publish WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_CHANNEL_SWITCH if the fw supports
newly introduced IWL_UCODE_TLV_API_CSA_FLOW.
When CSA starts, save the switching vif inside mvm and during the CSA period
configure fw with a new beacon after each beacon transmission in order to
update the csa counters.
Also, handle correctly the CSA unbind-bind flow which is triggered by mac80211
when the actual channel switch happens.
