When frames are sent over the air, the device always applies the data
rates in descending order. The driver assumed Minstrel also provided
rate in descending order.
However, in some cases, Minstrel can a choose a fallback rate greater
than the primary rate. In this case, the two rates was inverted, the
device try highest rate first and we get many retries.
Since the device always applies rates in descending order, the
workaround is to drop the rate when it higher than its predecessor in
the rate list. Thus [ 4, 5, 3 ] becomes [ 4, 3 ].
This patch has been tested in isolated room with a series of
attenuators. Here are the Minstrel statistics with 80dBm of attenuation:

We can notice the device try now to send with lower rates (and high

this patch.

With some conditions, the device is able to send/receive frames during
scan operation. So, it is possible to use it implement the "remain on
channel" feature. We just ask for a passive scan (without sending any
probe request) on one channel.
This architecture allows to leverage some interesting features:
- if the device is AP, the device switches channel just after the next
beacon and the beacons are stopped during the off-channel interval.
- if the device is connected, it advertises it is asleep before to
switch channel (so the AP should stop to try to send data)

Until now, all the traffic was blocked during scan operation. However,
scan operation is going to be used to implement Remain On Channel (ROC).
In this case, special frames (marked with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN)
must be sent during the operation.
These frames need to be sent on the virtual interface #2. Until now,
this interface was only used by the device for internal purpose. But
since API 3.9, it can be used to send data during scan operation (we
hijack the scan process to implement ROC).
Thus, we need to change a bit the way we match the frames with the
interface.
Fortunately, the frames received during the scan are marked with the
correct interface number. So there is no change to do on this part.

Currently, one scan_lock is associated to each vif. However, concurrent
scan on vifs is explicitly prohibited by the device. Currently,
scan_lock is associated with a vif but it is always locked with
conf_mutex (there is a case where conf_mutex is not associated to
scan_lock but scan_lock is tested on all interfaces). So concurrent scan
on vifs cannot happen.
So, this patch relocate scan_lock to the device and simplify the code.

The device ignore the rx filters during the scan operation.
wfx_configure_filter() acquires scan_lock to reflect this restriction.
However, it is not really necessary since mac80211 don't try to
configure Rx filters during scan.
However, the things are changing. The scan operation is going to be used
to implement remain-on-channel. In this case, wfx_configure_filter() can
be called during the scan. Currently, this scenario generate a delay
that end with a timeout in the upper layers. For the final user, some
scenario of the EasyConnect specification end with a failure.
So, avoid acquiring the scan_lock and just return.

The WF200 allow to start two network interfaces (one AP, one station) on
two different channels. Since magic does not exist, it only works if the
station interface enables power save.
Thus, the driver detects this case and enforce power save as necessary.
This patch fixes the case where the AP interface is stopped and it is no
more necessary to enforce power saving on the station interface.

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

"A fairly standard release for SPI with the exception of a change to

Supporting multi-cs in spi drivers would require the chip_select & cs_gpiod
members of struct spi_device to be an array. But changing the type of these
members to array would break the spi driver functionality. To make the
transition smoother introduced four new APIs to get/set the
spi->chip_select & spi->cs_gpiod and replaced all spi->chip_select and
spi->cs_gpiod references with get or set API calls.
While adding multi-cs support in further patches the chip_select & cs_gpiod
members of the spi_device structure would be converted to arrays & the
"idx" parameter of the APIs would be used as array index i.e.,
spi->chip_select[idx] & spi->cs_gpiod[idx] respectively.

queue flush, before we get things back from net-next that

of MLO (multi-link operation, part of 802.11be) code.
Lots of cleanups all over.
The only notable change is perhaps wilc1000 being the

"Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 5.19-rc1.
Lots of forward progress happened this development cycle, one driver
(wfx wireless driver) got merged into the real portion of the kernel,
and another one (unisys) was removed as no one is around anymore to
take care of it and no one has the hardware. Combined with loads of
tiny driver cleanups overall we removed 13k lines of code from the
tree, a nice improvement.
Other than the wfx and unisys driver changes the major points of this
merge is:
- r8188eu driver cleanups. So many cleanups. It's amazing just how
many things have been cleaned up here, and yet, how many remain to
go. Lots of work happened here, and it doesn't look to slow down
any time soon.
- other wifi driver cleanups. Not as many as the r8188eu driver, but
still pretty impressive from a janitorial point of view.

Currently, upon virtual interface creation, wfx_add_interface() stores
a reference to the corresponding struct ieee80211_vif in private data,
for later usage. This is not needed when using the container_of
construct. This construct already has all the info it needs to retrieve
the reference to the corresponding struct from the offset that is
already available, inherent in container_of(), between its type and
member inputs (struct ieee80211_vif and drv_priv, respectively).
Remove vif (which was previously storing the reference to the struct
ieee80211_vif) from the struct wfx_vif, define a function
wvif_to_vif(wvif) for container_of(), and replace all wvif->vif with
the newly defined container_of construct.
