Merge tag 'mac80211-next-for-davem-2015-08-14' into next
Another pull request for the next cycle, this time with quite a bit of content: * mesh fixes/improvements from Alexis, Bob, Chun-Yeow and Jesse * TDLS higher bandwidth support (Arik) * OCB fixes from Bertold Van den Bergh * suspend/resume fixes from Eliad * dynamic SMPS support for minstrel-HT (Krishna Chaitanya) * VHT bitrate mask support (Lorenzo Bianconi) * better regulatory support for 5/10 MHz channels (Matthias May) * basic support for MU-MIMO to avoid the multi-vif issue (Sara Sharon) along with a number of other cleanups.
