During testing our mac80211 driver a fatal error occurred which was
signalled to mac80211. Upon performing the reconfiguration of the
device a WARN_ON was triggered. This warning checked the return value
of drv_add_chanctx(). However, this returns -EOPNOTSUPP when the

better check it is defined before calling drv_add_chanctx().

interface needs it. So it is removed from brcmf_cfg80211_info
and added to brcmf_cfg80211_vif structure.

But there's a workaround: Instead of the special
sniffer mode, the hardware will be put into
station mode and all rx filters are disabled.

Merge tag 'nfc-next-3.8-1' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/sameo/nfc-3.0
This is the first NFC pull request for 3.8
With this one we have:
- pn544 p2p support.
- pn544 physical and HCI layers separation. We are getting the pn544 driver
ready to support non i2c physical layers.
- LLCP SNL (Service Name Lookup). This is the NFC p2p service discovery
protocol.
- LLCP datagram sockets (connection less) support.
- IDR library usage for NFC devices indexes assignement.
- NFC netlink extension for setting and getting LLCP link characteristics.
- Various code style fixes and cleanups spread over the pn533, LLCP, HCI and
pn544 code.

ath9k: fix stale pointers potentially causing access to free'd skbs
bf->bf_next is only while buffers are chained as part of an A-MPDU
in the tx queue. When a tid queue is flushed (e.g. on tearing down
an aggregation session), frames can be enqueued again as normal
transmission, without bf_next being cleared. This can lead to the
old pointer being dereferenced again later.
This patch might fix crashes and "Failed to stop TX DMA!" messages.

mac80211: make sure data is accessible in EAPOL check
The code to allow EAPOL frames even when the station
isn't yet marked associated needs to check that the
incoming frame is long enough and due to paged RX it
also can't assume skb->data contains the right data,
it must use skb_copy_bits(). Fix this to avoid using
data that doesn't really exist.
