      ====================
      This is a big pull request for new features intended for the 3.10
      stream...
      
      Regarding mac80211, Johannes says:
      
      "First, I merged mac80211/master to avoid some conflicts. This brings in
      a bunch of fixes you're already familiar with. For real -next material,
      I have a whole bunch of minstrel work, minstrel_ht from Felix and legacy
      minstrel from Thomas (Huehn). The other Thomas (Pedersen) did a number
      of changes in mesh to allow userspace peering management even when the
      mesh isn't secured. Stanislaw changes suspend/resume to always
      disconnect the networks. This is typically already done by
      network-manager so won't make a huge difference for most users, but
      fixes a number problems, particularly with USB drivers that can easily
      disconnect while suspended. Ilan has a small change to allow mac80211
      drivers to differentiate remain-on-channel reasons, and Jouni extends
      nl80211 to allow fast roaming with full-MAC devices. I have a fairly
      large number of patches as well, many of them fairly simple cleanups,
      but also allowing split wiphy dumps and adding back the full wiphy
      information in nl80211, station entry change checking and more VHT work
      including VHT capability overrides (mostly for testing purposes)."
      
      And for iwlwifi, Johannes says:
      
      "Here, I also merged iwlwifi-fixes to avoid conflicts, and otherwise have
      various cleanups and improvements on the MVM driver, along with a few
      throughout the driver. Other than Bluetooth Coexistence from Emmanuel
      there's no over-arching theme, so listing them would pretty much
      reproduce the shortlog."
      
      Regarding NFC, Samuel says:
      
      "The 2 features we have with this one are:
      
      - An LLCP Service Name Lookup (SNL) netlink interface for querying LLCP
        service availability from user space.
        Along the way, Thierry also improved the existing SNL interface for
        aggregating SNL responses.
      
      - An initial LLCP socket options implementation, for setting the Receive
        Window (RW) and the Maximum Information Unit Extension (MIUX) per socket.
        This is need for the LLCP validation tests.
      
      We also have a microread MEI build failure here: I am not sending this one to
      3.9 because the MEI bus code is not there yet, so it won't break for anyone
      else than me."
      
      And for ath6kl, Kalle says:
      
      "I added tracing support to ath6kl, along with a new Kconfig option. Now
      there's also a workaround to reset USB devices when the firmware upload
      fails, this happened when host was warm rebooted. There are also quite a
      few small fixes or cleanup."
      
      On top of all that, there is the usual bundle of driver updates
      with new features, new hardware support and the like mixed-in.
      The ath9k, b43, brcmfmac, mwifiex, rt2800, and wil6210 drivers
      are all well-represented, and a few other drivers are hit as well.
      I also pulled-in the wireless fixes tree in order to resolve some
      pending merge conflicts.
      
      Please let me know if there are problems!
