commit 9d4990a260ce395493848640bed94fb55f440f10

Dave,

Here is another batch of fixes intended for 3.3.  Most of the fixes
this time are for Bluetooth.

Quoth Johan Hedberg <[email-masked]>:

"Here's one (hopefully) last set of important Bluetooth fixes intended
for 3.3:

- One important SSP fix which fixes security level upgrade handling
  (this was breaking connections with many devices).
- An update to btusb fixing invalid flag usage with usb_submit_urb() as
  well as one new vendor ID for a Broadcom device.
- One compilation warning fix for a bogus inline declaration
- Fix proper timeout value for l2cap_set_timer and sk_sndtimeo and
  hci_conn_put
- Fix a lockdep warning with Bluetooth sockets
- Deadlock fix in hci_conn_hold
- RFCOMM reference counting fix
- QUIRK_NO_RESET fix which was breaking suspend with some laptops
- Two fixes related to synchronization with cancel_delayed_work()"

Along with the Bluetooth fixes, we have a handful of wireless LAN
fixes.  First is an mwifiex fix from Amitkumar Karwar that does
proper initializations to ensure that associations can occur in
all conditions.  Next is a mac80211 fix from Felix Fietkau to add a
check to rate_control_tx_status that avoids a crash in minstrel_ht.
This pairs with a mac80211 fix from Johannes Berg to ensure that
mac80211 rate control is initialized properly before being called.
Finally, we have an ath9k fix from Pavel Roskin to ensure that ath9k's
rate control processes rate control information in Tx status reports
properly.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John
