David S. Miller 1a25660856 wireless-drivers-next patches for 5.1
Most likely the last set of patches for 5.1. WPA3 support to ath10k
 and qtnfmac. FTM support to iwlwifi and ath10k. And of course other
 new features and bugfixes.
 
 wireless-drivers was merged due to dependency in mt76.
 
 Major changes:
 
 iwlwifi
 
 * HE radiotap
 
 * FTM (Fine Timing Measurement) initiator and responder implementation
 
 * bump supported firmware API to 46
 
 * VHT extended NSS support
 
 * new PCI IDs for 9260 and 22000 series
 
 ath10k
 
 * change QMI interface to support the new (and backwards incompatible)
   interface from HL3.1 and used in recent HL2.0 branch firmware
   releases
 
 * support WPA3 with WCN3990
 
 * support for mac80211 airtime fairness based on transmit rate
   estimation, the firmware needs to support WMI_SERVICE_PEER_STATS to
   enable this
 
 * report transmit airtime to mac80211 with firmwares having
   WMI_SERVICE_REPORT_AIRTIME feature, this to have more accurate
   airtime fairness based on real transmit time (instead of just
   estimated from transmit rate)
 
 * support Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) responder role
 
 * add dynamic VLAN support with firmware having WMI_SERVICE_PER_PACKET_SW_ENCRYPT
 
 * switch to use SPDX license identifiers
 
 ath
 
 * add new country codes for US
 
 brcmfmac
 
 * support monitor frames with the hardware/ucode header
 
 qtnfmac
 
 * enable WPA3 SAE and OWE support
 
 mt76
 
 * beacon support for USB devices (mesh+ad-hoc only)
 
 rtlwifi
 
 * convert to use SPDX license identifiers
 
 libertas_tf
 
 * get the MAC address before registering the device

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
