commit 7079604ddb upstream.
This driver has a number of errors in the module initialization. These
include the following:
Parameter msi_support is stored in two places - one is removed.
Paramters sw_crypto and disable_watchdog were never stored in the final
locations, nor were they initialized properly.

commit 06f34572c6 upstream.
In this driver, parameters disable_watchdog and sw_crypto are never
copied into the locations used in the main code. While modifying the
parameter handling, the copying of parameter msi_support is moved to
be with the rest.

commit 7503efbd82 upstream.
Two of the module parameter descriptions show incorrect default values.
In addition the value for software encryption is not transferred to
the locations used by the driver.

commit 793b099942 upstream.
This driver has some errors in the handling of module parameters. These
include missing initialization for parameters msi_support and
disable_watchdog. In addition, neither of these parameters nor sw_crypto
are transferred into the locations used by the driver. A final fix is
adding parameter msi to the module named and description macros.

commit f99551a2d3 upstream.
In commit 38506ecefa (rtlwifi: rtl_pci: Start modification for new
drivers), a bug was introduced that causes a NULL pointer dereference.
As this bug only affects the infrequently used RTL8192EE and only under
low-memory conditions, it has taken a long time for the bug to show up.
The bug was reported on the linux-wireless mailing list and also at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/ as
bug #1527603 (kernel crashes due to rtl8192ee driver on ubuntu 15.10).

commit c72fc90937 upstream.
Recently, it has been reported that D-Link DWA-582 cards, which use an
RTL8812AE chip are not able to scan for 5G networks. The problems started
with kernel 4.2, which is the first version that had commit d10101a603
("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix problem with regulatory information"). With this
patch, the driver went from setting a default channel plan to using
the value derived from EEPROM.
Bug reports at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111031 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279653 are examples of this
problem.
The problem was solved once I learned that the internal country code was
resulting in a regulatory set with only 2.4 GHz channels. With the RTL8821AE
chips available to me, the country code was such that both 2.4 and 5 GHz
channels are allowed. The fix is to allow both bands even when the EEPROM
is incorrectly encoded.

commit 78bae1de42 upstream.
This driver failed to copy parameters sw_crypto and disable_watchdog into
the locations actually used by the driver. In addition, msi_support was
initialized three times and one of them used the wrong variable. The
initialization of parameter int_clear was moved so that it is near that
of the rest of the parameters.

Free skb for received frames with a wrong checksum. This can happen
pretty rapidly, exhausting all memory.
This fixes a memleak (detected with kmemleak). Originally found while
using monitor mode, but it also appears during managed mode (once the
link is up).

In commit 54328e6404 ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix system lockups on boot"),
an attempt was made to fix a regression introduced in commit 1277fa2ab2
("rtlwifi: Remove the clear interrupt routine from all drivers").
Unfortunately, there were logic errors in that patch that prevented
affected boxes from booting even after that patch was applied.
The actual cause of the original problem is unknown as none of the
developers have systems that are affected.

====================
here's a bigger pull request for 4.4. The diffstat looks scary as we
created a new directory realtek for all realtek drivers. In the future
I'm planning to create similar directories for all vendors, currently we
just have ath, mediatek and realtek. This change has been in linux-next
for a couple of weeks so it should be safe, but of course you never
know.
There's also a new driver rtl8xxxu for few realtek USB devices. This
just made it to the last linux-next build.
Otherwise there's nothing really special, more info below. If time
permits, and it's ok for you, I'm hoping to send you a one more pull
request this week.
brcmfmac
* using netdev carrier state
* add and rework some cfg80211 callbacks mainly for AP mode
* use devcoredump when triggered by firmware event
realtek
* create new directory drivers/net/wireless/realtek/ for all realtek
drivers, not visible to users (no kconfig changes etc)
* add rtl8xxxu, a new mac80211 driver for RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU,
RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, RTL8192CU and hopefully more in the future
ath10k
* add board 2 API support for automatically choosing correct board file
* data path optimisations
* disable PCI power save for qca988x and QCA99x0 due to interop reasons
wil6210
* BlockAckReq support
* firmware crashdump using devcoredump
* capture all frames with sniffer

Driver was reporting 'switch case not processed' after association,
so HW_VAR_KEEP_ALIVE was added and filled similarily to other drivers.
Positive side effect to this seems to be a bit more stable connection.

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,
it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories
rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory
structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are
visable to the user.
