This time there's a trivial conflict with mtd tree: http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160720123133.44dab209@canb.auug.org.au We concluded with Brian (CCed) that it's best that we ask Linus to fix this. The patches have been in linux-next for a couple of days. This time I haven't done any merge tests so I don't know if there are any other conflicts etc. Please let me know if there are any problems. wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.8 Major changes: wl18xx * add initial mesh support bcma * serial flash support on non-MIPS SoCs ath10k * enable support for QCA9888 * disable wake_tx_queue() mac80211 op for older devices to workaround throughput regression ath9k * implement temperature compensation support for AR9003+ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA, however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use. Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use AMBA standard fields like CID and PID. In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of: 1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup. 2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID) and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core. Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from EPROM. In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to 16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision and class.
