This solves a potential race problem during the cleanup process.
The issue is that addrconf_ifdown() needs to traverse address list,
but then drop lock to call the notifier. The version in -next
could get confused if add/delete happened during this window.
Original code (2.6.32 and earlier) was okay because all addresses
were always deleted.

My recent change in net-next to retain permanent addresses caused regression.
Device refcount would not go to zero when device was unregistered because
left over anycast reference would hold ipv6 dev reference which would hold
device references...
The correct procedure is to call notify chain when address is no longer
available for use. When interface comes back DAD timer will notify
back that address is available.
Also, link local addresses should be purged when interface is brought
down. The address might be changed.

Handling HT configuration changes involved setting the channel
with the new HT parameters and then issuing a rate_update()
notification to the driver.
This behavior changed after the off-channel changes. Now, the channel
is not updated with the new HT params in enable_ht() - instead, it
is now done when the scan work terminates. This results in the driver
depending on stale information, defaulting to non-HT mode always.
Fix this by passing the new channel type to the driver.

The inquiry cache information in debugfs should be using seq_file support
and not allocating memory on the stack for the string. Since the usage of

enough.

My previous patch 914c8ad2d1 incorrectly changed
the length check in packet_mc_add to be more strict. The problem is that
userspace is not filling this field (and it stays zeroed) in case of setting
PACKET_MR_PROMISC or PACKET_MR_ALLMULTI. So move the strict check to the point
in path where the addr_len must be set correctly.

When I merged the bundle creation code, I introduced a bogus
flowi value in the bundle. Instead of getting from the caller,
it was instead set to the flow in the route object, which is
totally different.
The end result is that the bundles we created never match, and
we instead end up with an ever growing bundle list.
Thanks to Jamal for find this problem.

At the wireless summit in Portland we discussed a way of
loading firmware asynchronously from ->probe() before
registration to mac80211, in order to register with the
wireless subsystems with complete information in cases
where firmware is required to know parameters.
This is not yet the case in iwlwifi, but for some new
features we're working on it will be the case since
those will only be supported by new firmware images.
Hence, to start with, convert iwlwifi to load firmware
asynchronously from probe, unbinding the device when
firmware loading fails, and only registering with the
wireless subsystems after firmware has been loaded
successfully.
Future patches will hook into this to register the
new firmware capabilities, depending on the firmware
API version.

This converts ar9170 to load firmware asynchronously
out of ->probe() and only register with mac80211 when
all firmware has been loaded successfully. If, on the
other hand, any firmware fails to load, it will now
unbind from the device.

Commit e1dd33f60ced091114e4aacf141e0d03b88d3e13 changed cfg80211 to
allow association commands while in associated state to enable support
for roaming within an ESS. However, this was not enough to resolve all
cases with mac80211 which needs some additional handling of the
reassociation case to clear internal state with the BSS that was in use
previously.
This patch makes ieee80211_mgd_assoc() accept a valid reassociation
command and clean the association state with the previous BSS. This
fixes roaming between BSSes in an ESS when using wpa_supplicant with
-Dnl80211.
