Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the net-next tree with the wireless
 tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the net-next tree got a conflict in
net/mac80211/cfg.c between commit fa8f136fe9a8 ("mac80211: fix crash on
getting sta info with uninitialized rate control") from the wireless
tree and commit b7ffbd7ef675 ("cfg80211: make ethtool the driver's
responsibility") from the net-next tree.

I fixed it up (the latter moved the code modified by the former, so I
removed the code and added the following patch) and can carry the fix
as necessary (no action is required).
