commit 50787c0dfcffe9be908994bdd7bb28b1a49192b5

Dave,

Please accept these fixes for the 3.5 stream...

Eliad Peller provides a mac80211 fix to properly clean-up after an
association failure.

Sasha Levin offers an NFC fix to prevent a NULL pointer derference
in llcp_sock_getname.

Thomas Huehn provides an mwl8k fix for a race that can result in
a use-after-free bug.  Also, he provides a mac80211 fix to correct
some kzalloc arguments, and another fix to address an issue found
with that fix after I had already committed the original patch.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John

OK, I'll drop this patch and send a new pull request with a couple more fixes as well.
