These are a few fixes for the current cycle.
3 out of the 5 patches fix a bugzilla.
* fix a race that users reported when we try to load the firmware
and the hardware rfkill interrupt triggers at the same time.
* Luca fixes a very visible bug in scheduled scan: our firmware
doesn't support scheduled scan with no profile configured and
the supplicant sometimes requests such scheduled scans.
* build system fix
* firmware name update for 8265
* typo fix in return value
The iwl_trans_pcie_start_fw() function may return the positive value EIO
instead of -EIO in case of error.

When we load the firmware, we hold trans_pcie->mutex to
avoid nested flows. We also rely on the ISR to wake up the
thread when the DMA has finished copying a chunk. During
this flow, we enable the RF-Kill interrupt.
The problem is that the RF-Kill interrupt handler can take
the mutex and bring the device down. This means that if
we load the firmware while the RF-Kill switch is enabled
(which will happen when we load the INIT firmware to read
the device's capabilities and register to mac80211), we
may get an RF-Kill interrupt immediately and the ISR will
be waiting for the mutex held by the thread that is
currently loading the firmware. At this stage, the ISR
won't be able to service the DMA's interrupt needed to
wake up the thread that load the firmware. We are in a
deadlock situation which ends when the thread that loads
the firmware fails on timeout and releases the mutex.
To fix this, take the mutex later in the flow, disable
the interrupts and synchronize_irq() to give a chance to
the RF-Kill interrupt to run and complete.
After that, mask all the interrupts besides the DMA
interrupt and proceed with firmware load. Make sure to
check that there was no RF-Kill interrupt when the
interrupts were disabled.

The firmware can perform a scheduled scan with not matchsets passed,
but it can't send notification that results were found. Since the
userspace then cannot know when we got new results and the firmware
wouldn't trigger a wake in case we are sleeping, it's better not to
allow scans without matchsets.

The commit 3719c17e18 ("wlcore/wl18xx: fw logger over sdio") introduced a
regression causing the wlcore to time out and go into recovery. Reverting the
changes regarding write of the last partition size brings the module back to
it's functional state.

* Fix support for 3168 device
+ NVM version
+ firmware file name
+ device IDs
* Fix a compilation warning in dvm calibration code
* Fix the TPC (reduced Tx Power) code. This fixes performance issues
* Device IDs for 8265
FW behaviour changed and now updates driver about the used TPC
reduction in the following cases:
1. In tx response, which is used mostly for a single frame case
2. In BA notification
When tx aggregation fails with the initial rate, FW will send
to the driver BA notification and will try to transmit with the
next rate, but this time without tx power reduction. Thus, in case
of a failure with the initial rate, driver will get two BA notifications,
the first one with reduced tx power as in the LQ command and the second
one with 0 power reduction.
This patch adapts the TPC statistics according to the description above:
1. Use BA notifications instead of Tx response
2. For TPC only, drop the optimization which considers empty BA as one
MPDU. The reason is that with TPC we want to recover very quickly from
a bad power reduction and, therefore we'd like the success ratio to get
an immediate hit when failing to get a BA, so we'd switch back to a
lower or zero power reduction

Recently, it has been reported that D-Link DWA-582 cards, which use an
RTL8812AE chip are not able to scan for 5G networks. The problems started
with kernel 4.2, which is the first version that had commit d10101a603
("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix problem with regulatory information"). With this
patch, the driver went from setting a default channel plan to using
the value derived from EEPROM.
Bug reports at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111031 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279653 are examples of this
problem.
The problem was solved once I learned that the internal country code was
resulting in a regulatory set with only 2.4 GHz channels. With the RTL8821AE
chips available to me, the country code was such that both 2.4 and 5 GHz
channels are allowed. The fix is to allow both bands even when the EEPROM
is incorrectly encoded.

Since commit df1404650c ("mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISC")
monitor mode for rt2x00 has been made effectively useless because the
hardware filter is configured to drop packets whose intended recipient is
not the device, regardless of the presence of monitor mode interfaces.
This patch fixes this regression by adding explicit monitor mode support,
and by configuring the hardware filter accordingly.

The SoC variant of the ssb code is now optional like the other
ones, which means we can build the framwork without any
front-end, but that results in a warning:
drivers/ssb/main.c:616:12: warning: 'ssb_bus_register' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
This annotates the ssb_bus_register function as __maybe_unused to
shut up the warning. A configuration like this will not work on
any hardware of course, but we still want this to silently build
without warnings if the configuration is allowed in the first
place.

"This has our usual assortment of fixes and cleanups, but the biggest

compat bit. The tree can actually be deleted and regenerated if there
are any problems, but it has held up really well in testing so far.
For very large filesystems (30T+) our existing free space caching code
can end up taking a huge amount of time during commits. The new tree
based code is faster and less work overall to update as the commit
progresses.
Omar worked on this during the summer and we'll hammer on it in
production here at FB over the next few months"
