ath_tx_txqaddbuf assumes that all the linked buffers in the queue passed
to it are part of the same A-MPDU or MPDU. The CAB queue rework violates
this assumption, which can cause the internal queue depth to go
negative.
Fix this by increasing the counter for all slots of [bf, bf->bf_lastbf]

drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c
net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c
net/wireless/nl80211.c
The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right
next to the deletion of another option.
The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the
handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action().
Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically
keep everything in both conflict hunks.
The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a
dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.
However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.
To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

ah->noise is maintained globally and not per-channel. This
is updated in the reset() routine after the NF history has been
filled for the *current channel*, just before switching to
the new channel. There is no need to do it inside getnf(), since
ah->noise must contain a value for the new channel.

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.

The commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
changed various ANI operational parameters to address a specific
card/environment. This is not really applicable for other cards
in general usage.
As per internal documentation, lowering the immunity level can be
done only after 5 periods have passed and the CCK/OFDM errors are
below the low watermak threshold - which have been fixed at 300 and
400 respectively by the sytems team.
Raising the immunity level can be done when CCK/OFDM errors exceed
600 and 1000 (per second).
Set these values once during attach.

Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
stability.
