<content type='text'>
commit a1fe52801a992e590cdaee2fb47a94bac9b5da90 upstream.

On hardware reintialization reference count of
already existing timers would be increased again.
This leads to problems on module unloading.

commit 2b0a53d51b5f263bb581bbdb40ebb9f7e09609b1 upstream.

In regular use block-ack timeouts can happen so it does not make
sense to fill the log with these messages.

commit 6ead629b27269c553c9092c47cd8f5ab0309ee3b upstream.

I keep getting the following messages on the log buffer:
[ 2167.097507] ieee80211 phy0: brcms_c_dotxstatus: INTERMEDIATE but not AMPDU
[ 2281.331305] ieee80211 phy0: brcms_c_dotxstatus: INTERMEDIATE but not AMPDU

[ 2615.651689] ieee80211 phy0: brcms_c_dotxstatus: INTERMEDIATE but not AMPDU

From the code comment I understand that this something that can -
and does, quite frequently - happen.

<title>brcm80211: smac: fix endless retry of A-MPDU transmissions</title>

commit 5e379203c7788b7af01150bfadbc74d2797a2ef4 upstream.

The A-MPDU code checked against a retry limit, but it was using
the wrong variable to do so. This patch fixes this to assure
proper retry mechanism.

This problem had a side-effect causing the mac80211 flush callback
to remain waiting forever as well. That side effect has been fixed
by commit by Stanislaw Gruszka:

Commit c6c44893c864, which removes the flag argument from brcms_b_mute,

when applying commit badc4f07622f ("brcm80211: smac: resume transmit

Earlier build tests missed this because they didn't include this driver

commit badc4f07622f0f7093a201638f45e85765f1b5e4 upstream.

There have been reports about not being able to use access-points
on channel 12 and 13 or having connectivity issues when these channels
were part of the selected regulatory domain. Upon switching to these
channels the brcmsmac driver suspends the transmit dma fifos. This
patch resumes them upon handing over the first received beacon to
mac80211.

This patch is to be applied to the stable tree for kernel versions
3.2 and 3.3.

commit f96b08a7e6f69c0f0a576554df3df5b1b519c479 upstream.

This patch workaround live deadlock problem caused by infinite loop
in brcms_c_wait_for_tx_completion(). I do not consider the patch as
the proper fix, which should fix the real reason of tx queue flush
failure, but patch helps with system lockup.
