Hi John,

Yes, you were right - I must have missed that you merged my other pull
request. I hope you can still pull this in time for the next merge
window.

Unfortunately I can't send a signed tag because I forgot my yubikey at
home and thus can't upload anything to kernel.org. I hope you can accept
signed pgp email instead.

This time I have Felix's no-status rate control work, which will allow
drivers to work better with rate control even if they don't have perfect
status reporting. In addition to this, a small hwsim fix from Patrik,
one of the regulatory patches from Arik, and a number of cleanups and
fixes I did myself.

Of note is a patch where I disable CFG80211_WEXT so that compatibility
is no longer selectable - this is intended as a wake-up call for anyone
who's still using it, and is still easily worked around (it's a one-line
patch) before we fully remove the code as well in the future.

Let me know if there's any problem.

johannes
