Jakub Kicinski 915b96c527 wireless-next patches for v6.1
Few stack changes and lots of driver changes in this round. brcmfmac
 has more activity as usual and it gets new hardware support. ath11k
 improves WCN6750 support and also other smaller features. And of
 course changes all over.
 
 Note: in early September wireless tree was merged to wireless-next to
 avoid some conflicts with mac80211 patches, this shouldn't cause any
 problems but wanted to mention anyway.
 
 Major changes:
 
 mac80211
 
 * refactoring and preparation for Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO)
   feature continues
 
 brcmfmac
 
 * support CYW43439 SDIO chipset
 
 * support BCM4378 on Apple platforms
 
 * support CYW89459 PCIe chipset
 
 rtw89
 
 * more work to get rtw8852c supported
 
 * P2P support
 
 * support for enabling and disabling MSDU aggregation via nl80211
 
 mt76
 
 * tx status reporting improvements
 
 ath11k
 
 * cold boot calibration support on WCN6750
 
 * Target Wake Time (TWT) debugfs support for STA interface
 
 * support to connect to a non-transmit MBSSID AP profile
 
 * enable remain-on-channel support on WCN6750
 
 * implement SRAM dump debugfs interface
 
 * enable threaded NAPI on all hardware
 
 * WoW support for WCN6750
 
 * support to provide transmit power from firmware via nl80211
 
 * support to get power save duration for each client
 
 * spectral scan support for 160 MHz
 
 wcn36xx
 
 * add SNR from a received frame as a source of system entropy

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
