Hi Dave,

Here's the next round of -next updates. This includes the promised
HE stuff but it's not all that big in the end, most of it is just
additions to the protocol header file :-)

Please pull and let me know if there's any problem.

Thanks,
johannes

  mac80211: use BIT_ULL for NL80211_STA_INFO_* attribute types (2018-06-29 09:53:09 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
This round's updates:
 * finally some of the promised HE code, but it turns
   out to be small - but everything kept changing, so
   one part I did in the driver was >30 patches for
   what was ultimately <200 lines of code ... similar
   here for this code.
 * improved scan privacy support - can now specify scan
   flags for randomizing the sequence number as well as
   reducing the probe request element content
 * rfkill cleanups
 * a timekeeping cleanup from Arnd
 * various other cleanups

There was a small merge conflict in net/mac80211/scan.c, I arranged
it such that the kcalloc() conversion was preserved.

Please send me any necessary fixups if I didn't do it properly.

Thanks.

Huh, sorry, hadn't seen that massive patch, I see it now.

No need, looks fine. I diffed it to my tree and the only change is the
kcalloc conversion, as expected.

Thanks!
