ipv6: If neigh lookup fails during icmp6 dst allocation, propagate error.
Don't just succeed with a route that has a NULL neighbour attached.
This follows the behavior of addrconf_dst_alloc().
Allowing this kind of route to end up with a NULL neigh attached will
result in packet drops on output until the route is somehow
invalidated, since nothing will meanwhile try to lookup the neigh
again.
A statistic is bumped for the case where we see a neigh-less route on
output, but the resulting packet drop is otherwise silent in nature,
and frankly it's a hard error for this to happen and ipv6 should do
what ipv4 does which is say something in the kernel logs.

brcm80211: smac: register with bcma for specific 802.11 core revisions
The brcmsmac driver has been verified on chipsets that were supported
when it was a pci device driver, ie. bcm4313, bcm43224, and bcm43225.
This patch restricts the driver to 802.11 core revisions that are found
in these chipsets.

the ISR, but register access is now done giving the explicit core so
no need to change interrupt state.

The ip address of the vif can be set even before the

mac80211: Do not request FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC for HW scan.
ieee80211_configure_filter code used local->scanning as a boolean
value when it was a bit mask. Bits SCAN_COMPLETED, SCAN_ABORTED
should not set FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC filter.
SCAN_HW_SCANNING should not set FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC either,
as there is no explicit filter configuration request from
scan code. If a driver requires FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC mode
during HW scanning, it's up to the driver to temporary enable it.
Similar mistake was fixed also in ieee80211_hw_config (power
configuration code).

protecting ps mode changing critical sections. This fixes running system

Merge ips_lock and lps_lock as they seems to protect the same data
