2016-09-26brcmfmac: simplify mapping of auth typeHante Meuleman
The 802.11 standard only has four valid auth type configurations of which our firmware only supports two, ie. Open System and Shared Key. Simplify the mapping falling back to automatic for other types specified by user-space.

2016-09-26brcmfmac: fix out of bound access on clearing wowl wake indicatorHante Meuleman
Clearing the wowl wakeindicator happens with a rather odd construction where the string "clear" is used to set the iovar wowl_wakeind. This was implemented incorrectly as it caused an out of bound access. Use an intermediate variable of correct length and copy string in that. Problem was found using coverity.

2016-09-26brcmfmac: fix clearing entry IPv6 addressHante Meuleman
When IPv6 address is to be cleared there is a possible out of bound access. But also the clearing of the last entry and the adjustment of total number of stored IPv6 addresses is not updated. This patch fixes that bug. Bug was found using coverity.

2016-09-26wlcore: Fix config firmware loading issuesTony Lindgren
Booting multiple wl12xx and wl18xx devices using the same rootfs is a pain. You currently have to symlink the right nvs file depending on the wl12xx type. For example, with wl1271-nvs.bin being a symlink to wl127x-nvs.bin by default and trying to bring up a wl128x based device: wlcore: ERROR nvs size is not as expected: 1113 != 912 wlcore: ERROR NVS file is needed during boot wlcore: ERROR NVS file is needed during boot wlcore: ERROR firmware boot failed despite 3 retries Note that wl18xx uses a separate config firmware wl18xx-conf.bin that can be generated with tools using the following two git repos: git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan/18xx-ti-utils git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan/wl18xx_fw So let's not configure the nvs file for wl18xx as it's not needed AFAIK. If it turns out that we also need the nvs file for wl18xx, we can just add it to the config firmware data for wl18xx. Let's fix the issue by using the chip specific config firmware data, and make sure we produce understandable warnings if something is missing.

2016-09-19iwlwifi: mvm: Add mem debugfs entryIdo Yariv
In order to access cached/paged memory, there are a couple of firmware commands (one for UMAC and one for LMAC) that let the host access memory and registers indirectly. Since this is done by the firmware on behalf of the host, even if memory is paged out or cached, the host will retrieve the memory as the firmware sees it (paged out memory will get paged in). Export this mechanism via a debugfs entry for both read and write access. WARNING: This mechanism has no protections at all. Invalid addresses may crash or hang the firmware. Writing to arbitrary memory also comes with no guarantees. Signed-off-by: Ido Yariv <idox.yariv@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

If adapter is null the error exit path in mwifiex_shutdown_sw is to down the semaphore sem and print some debug via mwifiex_dbg. However, passing a NULL adapter to mwifiex_dbg causes a null pointer deference when accessing adapter->dev.

Moreover, some other error paths in this function return ERR_PTR values which are assigned without checking to the regd field in the mwifiex_adapter struct. The latter is only null-checked where used. Fix by freeing regd in the error path, and only update priv->adapter->regd if the returned pointer is valid.
