pull-request: mac80211 2016-08-05

Hi Dave,

Here's a first set of fixes for the current cycle. See the tag message
for more information.

I'll probably have a follow-up fix for the real problem in mac80211
that caused the crash later, but for now we have this patch and it
makes sense and fixes the crash, even if the behaviour isn't quite
right (afaict.)

Let me know if there's any problem.

Thanks,
johannes

  mac80211: Add ieee80211_hw pointer to get_expected_throughput (2016-08-05 14:23:25 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
First set of fixes for the current cycle:
 * fix 80+80 bandwidth warning
 * fix powersave with mac80211 TXQ implementation
 * use correct way to free SKBs from multicast buffering
 * mesh: fix operation ordering to work with all drivers
 * mesh: end service period even when peer goes away
 * mesh: correct HT opmode validity checks
 * pass hw pointer from mac80211 to driver in TPT method,
   fixing a bug (in a bit the wrong way, but that's what
   we have right now)

Just FYI, I'm going to "defer" the fix for the wrong behaviour to
mac80211-next since no driver is affected by it.
