Yell loudly about that case in that function instead and return the

down to ath5k_eeprom_mode_from_channel for ATH5K_WARN. For that

With "mac80211/minstrel_ht: add support for using CCK rates"
minstrel_ht selects legacy CCK rates as viable rates for
outgoing frames which might be sent as part of an A-MPDU
[IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU is set].
This behavior triggered the following WARN_ON in the driver:
> WARNING: at carl9170/tx.c:995 carl9170_op_tx+0x1dd/0x6fd
The driver assumed that the rate control algorithm made a
mistake and dropped the frame.
This patch removes the noisy warning altogether and allows
said A-MPDU frames with CCK sample and/or fallback rates to
be transmitted seamlessly.

The station change API isn't being checked properly before
drivers are called, and as a result it is difficult to see
what should be allowed and what not.
In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse
everything first, and then have the driver call a function
(cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally
information about the kind of station that is being changed;
this allows the function to make better decisions than the
old code could.
While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh
and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation.
To be able to reduce a few checks, ignore any flag set bits
when the mask isn't set, they shouldn't be applied then.

On many different chips, important aspects of the MAC state are not
fully cleared by a warm reset. This can show up as tx/rx hangs, those
annoying "DMA failed to stop in 10 ms..." messages or other quirks.
On AR933x, the chip can occasionally get stuck in a way that only a
driver unload/reload or a reboot would bring it back to life.
With this patch, a full reset is issued when bringing the chip out of
FULL-SLEEP state (after idle), or if either Rx or Tx was not shut down
properly. This makes the DMA related error messages disappear completely
in my tests on AR933x, and the chip does not get stuck anymore.

The ath9k commit 2ef167557c
(ath9k: fix signal strength reporting issues) fixed an issue where the
reported per-frame signal strength reported to mac80211 was being
overwritten with an internal average. The same issue is also present
in ath9k_htc.
In addition to preventing the driver from overwriting the value, this
commit also ensures that the internal average (which is used for ANI)
only tracks beacons of the AP that we're connected to.

RSSI is being stored internally as s8 in several places. The indication
of an unset RSSI value, ATH_RSSI_DUMMY_MARKER, was supposed to have been
set to 127, but ended up being set to 0x127 because of a code cleanup
mistake. This could lead to invalid signal strength values in a few
places.

There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers all
over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:
- add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
able to check return values.
- remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

please let me know.

For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first
step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag
in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field
indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the
station. Of course, make all drivers use it.
To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get
the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities,
so it can set up the new bandwidth field.
If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use,
also set the bandwidth accordingly.
Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as
the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of
the current setting.
While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not
ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it
really happens...)

the BSS. In creator mode, beaconing can start immediately after
a HW reset has been done.

via ieee80211_bss_conf->ibss_creator, make use of it to properly setup
