We're closing in on the 2.6.37 release, now at rc5, so I'll start making two releases, a vanilla release and one which has more stuff. For now I'll just suck in all pending stable patches (all patches marked with Cc: stable@kernel.org on linux-next.git, not only Atheros', everyone's). This is:
pending-stable/0001-cfg80211-pass-the-reg-hint-initiator-to-helpers.patch pending-stable/0002-cfg80211-fix-allowing-country-IEs-for-WIPHY_FLAG_STR.patch pending-stable/0003-cfg80211-fix-disabling-channels-based-on-hints.patch pending-stable/0004-ath9k_hw-fix-potential-spurious-tx-error-bit-interpr.patch pending-stable/0005-ath9k-simplify-hw-reset-locking.patch pending-stable/0006-ath9k-move-the-PCU-lock-to-the-sc-structure.patch pending-stable/0007-ath9k-content-DMA-start-stop-through-the-PCU-lock.patch pending-stable/0008-ath9k_hw-Fix-XPABIAS-level-configuration-for-AR9003.patch pending-stable/0009-ath9k-Fix-bug-in-delimiter-padding-computation.patch pending-stable/0010-ath9k-Disable-SWBA-interrupt-on-remove_interface.patch pending-stable/0011-mac80211-Fix-STA-disconnect-due-to-MIC-failure.patch pending-stable/0012-ath9k-Fix-STA-disconnect-issue-due-to-received-MIC-f.patch pending-stable/0013-ath9k-Fix-bug-in-reading-input-gpio-state-for-ar9003.patch pending-stable/0014-ath9k_hw-fix-endian-issues-with-CTLs-on-AR9003.patch
You can find the vanilla [1] and extra pending-stable [2] releass on the stable download page [3] along with the respective ChangeLog of all:
* The kernel components * compat-wireless * compat
In later releases we will have to consider if we want to cherry pick anything extra or leave them as is. These few patches seem tempting to suck in:
01-ath9k-OTP.patch 03-ath9k-no-aggr-VO.patch 04-mac80211-no-aggr-VO.patch 05-ath9k-Reintroduce-modparam-to-enable-btcoex.patch 06-ath9k_hw-fix-A-MPDU-key-search-issues-on-AR9003.patch
Particularly it is now known AR9003 devices will only ship with OTP so.. it seems to make sense to actually disable AR9003 on 36 and even 37 and only have it available with the OTP patch and above EEPROM fixes. I'm inclined to just disregard all these and just let us get AR9003 from 2.6.38.... but we already have users of AR9003 coming up so this can't wait in practice now. This now goes compile-tested and fixed for 2.6.31.
