Subject: [patch 2.6.35 00/25] WiMAX pull request

From: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky.perez-gonzalez@...el.com>

There are no new features driver wise -- this is all a set of bug
fixes, mostly small ones, some bigger:

 - TX FIFO handling had a few more corner cases Q&A found

   fix incorrect return -ESHUTDOWN when there is no Tx buffer available
   fix the race condition for accessing TX queue
   add the error recovery mechanism on TX path
   Reset the TX FIFO indices when allocating the TX FIFO in tx_setup()
   increase the maximum number of payloads per message to 60 [v1]
   limit the message size upto 16KiB [v1]
   modify i2400m_tx_fifo_push() to check for head room space in the TX FIFO [v1]
   fix system freeze caused by an infinite loop [v1]
   reserve additional space in the TX queue's buffer while allocating space for a new message header

 - RX chain

   fix incorrect handling of type 2 and 3 RX messages
   fix race condition while accessing rx_roq by using kref count

 - SDIO reset handling: work out quirks

 - Small rearrangements to reduce forward declarations

NOTE: the WiMAX tree in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/inaky/wimax.git has been
rebased, so if you were tracking it, you will need to do a hard
pull. Sorry for that.

The reason this has been done is that wimax.git/master will now
stable, no cherry picking and always chasing net-next-2.6 /
net-2.6. The old wimax/master tree was thus unfeasible for upstream
pull as it was quite contaminated with extraenous commits.

When net-2.6 opens, wimax/2.6.X opens chasing net-2.6, later it will
chase linux-allstable-2.6/linux-2.6.X.y if need be when the kernel
release happens.
