Merge branch 'for-davem' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless

John W. Linville says:

====================
This time just passing along a big batch of fixes from Johannes...

For the mac80211 bits:

"Here I have fixes from Ben Greear for stray work items when deleting
interfaces, another idle handling fix from Felix, a fix from Marco ro a
mesh PS buffering crash and I have a fix for the VHT MCS calculation in
association request frames and more nl80211 feature advertising removal
as well as a workaround to increase the dump size if the SKB overhead is
too large. For 3.10 I already have a complete fix queued, but that also
requires (simple) userspace changes."

And for the iwlwifi bits:

"The patches from Dor fix a bunch of calibration issues in the new MVM
driver, and Emmanuel has a number of fixes there as well. Also, we
decided to disable 8k A-MSDU by default, so that's in there. My own
patches are addressing an issue we found with the new devices but that
seems to also exist on older ones, the DMA writeback the devices do can
be delayed and cause issues. The fix is unfortunately relatively large
and depends on two other changes (to not be hugely conflicting), but I
think it's still worth it at this point."

As Johannes says, it is a bit large.  But I hope it is still early
enough in the cycle to make that worthwhile.
