Using is_zero_ether_addr() instead of directly use
memcmp() to determine if the ethernet address is all
zeros.

spatch with a semantic match is used to found this problem.

The new P2P Device will have to be able to scan for
P2P search, so move scanning to use struct wireless_dev
instead of struct net_device.

Now that we've removed all uses of the set_channel
API except for the monitor channel and in libertas,
clarify this. Split the libertas mesh use into a
new libertas_set_mesh_channel() operation, just to
keep backward compatibility, and rename the normal
set_channel() to set_monitor_channel().

Also describe the desired set_monitor_channel()
semantics more clearly.

Pull USB 3.5-rc1 changes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here is the big USB 3.5-rc1 pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window.

  It's touches a lot of different parts of the kernel, all USB drivers,
  due to some API cleanups (getting rid of the ancient err() macro) and
  some changes that are needed for USB 3.0 power management updates.

  There are also lots of new drivers, pimarily gadget, but others as
  well.  We deleted a staging driver, which was nice, and finally
  dropped the obsolete usbfs code, which will make Al happy to never
  have to touch that again.

  There were some build errors in the tree that linux-next found a few
  days ago, but those were fixed by the most recent changes (all were
  due to us not building with CONFIG_PM disabled.)

<title>USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices.</title>

<id>e1f12eb6ba6f1e74007eb01ed26fad7c5239d62b</id>
<content type='text'>
Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices.  Comms
devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power
state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished.
Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state,
using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their
data transfer.

If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable
hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus
as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of
receiving data.  Worse, some devices might blindly accept the
hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the
middle of receiving a transmission.

The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB
communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host.  In order to keep
the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the
same in Linux.

Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications
drivers.  I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that
implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.
