upstream commit notice 26f1fad29ad973b0fb26a9ca3dcb2a73dde781aa
New driver: rtl8xxxu (mac80211)
This is an alternate driver for a number of Realtek WiFi USB devices,
including RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU.
It was written from scratch utilizing the Linux mac80211 stack.
After spending months cleaning up the vendor provided rtl8723au
driver, which comes with it's own 802.11 stack included, I decided to
rewrite this driver from the bottom up.
Many thanks to Johannes Berg for 802.11 insights and help and Larry
Finger for help with the vendor driver.
The full git log for the development of this driver can be found here:
git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git
branch rtl8723au-mac80211
This driver is still under development, but has proven to be very
stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support
for OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the
staging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel
support. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode
support at this point.
The driver is known to work with the following devices:
Lenovo Yoga (rtl8723au)
TP-Link TL-WN823N (rtl8192cu)
Etekcity 6R (rtl8188cu)
Daffodil LAN03 (rtl8188cu)
Alfa AWUS036NHR (rtl8188ru)
Compile tested only

We don't use Kernel drivers but ucode -16 is
usable on Kernel 4.3+ - with backports and mac80211
this should work on older Kernel versions too.
Intel does not provide a changelog.

Source package gre was depending on kmod-ip6-gre, however the actual
kernel module package that is created is kmod-gre6. Therefore
update (source) package gre for ipv6 gre support.

In sta-only configuration, wpa_supplicant needs correct regulatory
domain because otherwise it may skip channel of its AP during scan.
Another alternative is to fix "iw reg set" in mac80211 netifd script.
Currently it fails if some phy has private regulatory domain which
matches configured one.

iproute2-4.0 had connmark support added by nbd. This does not work
with 4.x kernels. iproute2-4.3 is the latest version and has his
changes mainlined. This patch updates the package to iproute2-4.3
and fixes the patches so that it compiles. This should resolve
ticket #21374.

For final output image names allow user to add an
extra string (which is sanitized). This is particularly
useful with ImageBuilder where you may generate multiple
images from the same base and for the same board,
with different package selections and additional files
(via FILES=).

My last bugfix (r47538) introduced a new bug in wndr3700_board_detect
(again...).
Assigning the result of ar71xx_get_mtd_offset_size_format to the model
variable before stripping of garbage using awk will cause all NUL bytes to
be removed before awk is applied, leading to model strings like
"NETGEAR WNDRMACv2NETGEAR", where a NUL byte after the v2 is supposed to
terminate the string.
Fix by calling ar71xx_get_mtd_offset_size_format twice, once piping to awk
directly.

LED's were defined wrong in the device tree file, they are hardware driven because they are connected directly to the switch chip and wireless chips respectively, thus no GPIO addresses are assigned to them. It is safe to remove them from the device tree file to stop confusion.

Add back a slightly modified version of the lowlevel settings which
where removed with r46920.
In compare to the old lowlevel settings, the B43c tone is added to
tone_adsl_b and tone_adsl_bv.
If an unsupported tone value is used, the auto probing mode is used, in
compare to the fallback to tone_adsl_av and tone_vdsl_av with the old
lowlevel settings.

According to ITU-T G.997.1 Amendment 2 (04/2013) section 2.1, bit 3 of
XTSE octet 8 either allow or denies the initialization of G.993.5.
Even if the current redistributable xDSL firmware doesn't include
G.993.5 vectoring support, enable this bit by default to allow people to
get their G.993.5 line working using a custom xDSL firmware.

This patch adds the missing VDSL2 bits to the annex specific XTSE (like
it should be according to the comments above the XTSE bits).
Since r47933 it's mandatory to remove the annex option to switch to
VDSL2 (only) operation mode.
As shown by ticket #21436 and a few mails I received personally, even
experienced users are not aware that they have to remove the annex
option to get their VDSL2 line working and as shown by this patch it
doesn't need to be that "complicated".
