staging: iio: amend macros for SCAN_EL creation to add separate index attr
As Manuel Stahl observed, putting data into the naming of an attribute
(beyond what it is for) breaks the one value per attribute rule (in spirit
at least). Hence we introduce a separate _index attribute for each scan
element to tell userspace the ordering in output from the buffer.
This will generate a lot of sparse warnings as all drivers will have unused
iio_const_attrs created. The rest of the set will clean these up.
The final patch will remove the old indexing method. It is not here so
as to maintain one or other interface for all devices as this set
progresses.

This header would then not only serve the local modules like the st_core.c,
st_kim.c and st_ll.c but also the external modules/protocol drivers that are

Modify the source files to include the new header ti_wilink_st.h,
replace uint and family by a much more proper u8/u16 types.
This is required specifically for data members of structures coming
in from the chip and data members parsed from the binary firmware file.
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.
