Greg,
Thanks for pushing my other changes to Linus. This set goes on top of
the set I sent you on 2014/05/31 and the fix from 2014/06/03. If you
prefer I go back and submit it all as one large set, let me know.
This set contains a number of fixes, including getting rid of some 'on
the wire' noise that isn't in the spec, plus removes a bunch of
functionality which is handled by the 802.11 stack, and shouldn't be
done within the driver.
I hope there is still a change to get it all in through the 3.16 merge
window?
76 patches is a lot for "bugfixes and reverts only" kernel releases.
I know lots of these are cleanups, look at the first one listed:
staging: rtl8723au: rtw_get_wps_ie23a(): Remove unused dest pointer
wps_ie
I don't feel comfortable justifying that to Linus or anyone about how
important it is to get into 3.16-final, sorry.
So, can you split this out into "bugfixes/regressions" and "cleanups, so
I can apply them to the two different trees (for 3.16-final and for
3.17-rc1.)
OK, in that case, punt them for 3.17. The opening of 3.16 caught me a
bit by surprise to be honest, I thought I had another week or two.
The previous set I sent you, I really would like in for 3.16
though. That is a total of 13 commits.
Jes and Greg,
Linus wanted to issue 3.16-rc1 before he started his family vacation. The
necessity of needing 3.15-rc8 interfered with that so he opened the merge in a
temporary "next" branch of mainline, thus merging was already in progress when
3.15 was released.
That said, patches 19 and 20 fix a firmware naming problem, and they should be
included in 3.16, and backported to 3.15.
Larry
