ath9k: Fix noisefloor calibration
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
reset() routine by checking the "chanmode" variable.

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.

The panic is caused by the mwifiex_info_read() routine assuming that
there can only be four modes (0-3) which is an invalid assumption.
For example, when testing P2P, the mode is '8' (P2P_CLIENT) so the
code accesses data beyond the bounds of the bss_modes[] array which
causes the panic. Fix this by updating bss_modes[] to support the
current list of modes and adding a check to prevent the out-of-bounds
access from occuring in the future when more modes are added.

Bluetooth: Fix mgmt handling of power on failures
If hci_dev_open fails we need to ensure that the corresponding
mgmt_set_powered command gets an appropriate response. This patch fixes
the missing response by adding a new mgmt_set_powered_failed function
that's used to indicate a power on failure to mgmt. Since a situation
with the device being rfkilled may require special handling in user
space the patch uses a new dedicated mgmt status code for this.

Support for rt2800 device is broken since my
'rt2x00: rt2x00dev: use rt2x00dev->tx->limit'
patch. The changelog of that commit says that the
TX data queue is initialized already when the
rt2x00lib_probe_hw() function is called.
However as Jakub noticed it, this statement is not
correct. The queue->limit field is initialized in
the rt2x00queue_alloc_entries routine and that is
not yet called when rt2x00lib_probe_hw() runs.
Because the value of tx->limit contains zero, the
driver tries to allocate a kernel fifo with zero
size and kfifo_alloc rejects that with -EINVAL.

Move the data_queue field initialization from
the rt2x00queue_alloc_entries routine into the
rt2x00queue_init function. The initialization
code is not strictly related to the allocation,
and the change ensures that the queue_data fields
can be used in the probe routines.
The patch also introduces a helper function in
order to be able to get the correct data_queue_desc
structure for a given queue. This helper is only
needed temporarily and it will be removed later.

This patch checks both the length supplied as part of the data to ensure
