I know I'm late now that merge window was opened yesterday but here's
one more set of patches I would like to get to 4.6 still. There isn't
anything controversial so I hope this should be still safe to pull. The
patches have been in linux-next since Friday and I haven't seen any
reports about issues. But if you think it's too late just let me know
and I'll resubmit these for 4.7.

The most notable part here of course is rtl8xxxu with over 100 patches.
As the driver is new and under heavy development I think they are ok to
take still. Otherwise there are mostly fixes with an exception of adding
a new debugfs file to wl18xx.

Please let me know if you have any problems.

Pulled, thanks.

Great, thanks a lot.

I really like Jes's work and I wish you had integrated it several
months ago, instead of sloshing him needlessly through a non-stop
cycle of very nit-picky issues, just FYI.

I also like his work and I'm sorry for being too nit-picky. I have tried
to be extra careful with the patches I send to you, especially with new
drivers, and I guess I have been too pedantic. I'll try to lower the bar
to a more reasonable level.

But I actually started to wonder what you actually mean and checked the
dates of initial rtl8xxxu submission from patchwork:

2015-08-29 v1
2015-08-30 v2
2015-10-15 v3
2015-10-21 applied 26f1fad29ad9 to w-d-next for v4.4

Two months is quite long for a good driver like this but IIRC the
initial commit was pending wireless-drivers directory reorganisation,
and that just took too long on my side.
