47540afa5d ath9k: add a warning to the tx99 config option
Lots of users try random stuff when they encounter any kind of
difficulty. I've had to debug a number of cases where people had enabled
this option for no reason. Hopefully this warning will reduce the number
of useless support cases.

b622f40249 mac80211: brcmfmac: backport wowlan netdetect fixes
I needed a moment to figure out relation between this patchset and the
nl80211: fix validation of scheduled scan info for wowlan netdetect

It appears nl80211 commit will go on top of brcmfmac changes so it's
safe to backport these patches.

One patch that was excluded is commit 2a2a5d1835b6 ("brcmfmac: add
.update_connect_params() callback") as it depends on missing commit
088e8df82f91 ("cfg80211: Add support to update connection parameters").

b94177e10f ath9k: add stability fixes for long standing hang issues (FS#13, #34, #373, #383)
The radio would stop communicating completely. This issue was easiest to
trigger on AR913x devices, e.g. the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND, but other
hardware was occasionally affected as well.

The most critical issue was a race condition in disabling/enabling IRQs
between the IRQ handler and the IRQ processing tasklet

2b6284f5a8 mac80211: fix broken spatial multiplexing defaults
Most mac80211 drivers leave the SMPS field in the HT capabilities
uninitialized (unfortunately defaults to static SMPS), which leads to
some devices limiting themselves to single-stream rates in some modes

b3a871dd3d mac80211: backport "cfg80211: limit scan results cache size"
The patch commit states:
"It's possible to make scanning consume almost arbitrary amounts
of memory, e.g. by sending beacon frames with random BSSIDs at
high rates while somebody is scanning.

Limit the number of BSS table entries we're willing to cache to
1000, limiting maximum memory usage to maybe 4-5MB, but lower
in practice - that would be the case for having both full-sized
beacon and probe response frames for each entry; this seems not
possible in practice, so a limit of 1000 entries will likely be
closer to 0.5 MB."

Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>"

This patch was added in 4.4.36. But because LEDE backports
cfg80211, mac80211 and the wifi drivers separately, it needs
to be added manually for now. It can be dropped later as it
will be part of the next mac80211 refresh.

448b9b67e1 kernel: mac80211: disable ath9k bands via device tree
These properties allow overriding the settings from the EEPROM
which indicate whether a band is enabled or not.
Setting this property is only needed when the RF circuit does not
support the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band while it is enabled nevertheless in the
EEPROM.

These patches will be replaced with a future upstream version which
will introduces an ieee80211 device tree property to disable bands.
