====================
pull request: wireless 2014-09-11

Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.17 stream:

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"Two more fixes for mac80211 - one of them addresses a long-standing
issue that we only found when using vendor events more frequently;
the other addresses some bad information being reported in userspace
that people were starting to actually look at."

For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:

"I re-enable scheduled scan on firmware that contain the fix for
the bug that Linus reported.  A few trivial fixes: endianity issues,
the same DTIM period fix that I did in mac80211.  Eyal fixes a few
issues we identified with EAPOL, we now send them just as if they were
management frames, this solves interrop issues.  Johannes has another
set of trivial fixes, while Luca fixes the way we configure the filters
in the firmware. Last but not least, a new device is added by Oren."

Emmanuel was traveling, resulting in his pull to be a bit larger than
I would have liked to see at this point.  FWIW, I have asked Emmanuel
to be much more strict for any more pull requests in this cycle.

In addition to the above, Sujith Manoharan reverts an earlier ath9k
patch.  The earlier change was found to allow for the device to sleep
too long and miss beacons.
