Passing a BSS conf pointer to mt76_connac2_mac_tx_rate_val() currently has
two inconsistencies.
When called from mt76_connac2_mac_write_txwi(), BSS conf is got by
dereferencing a vif pointer. A NULL vif isn't accounted for though the
function itself supposes it to be NULL and tries to handle this case in
previous checks. This looks like a cosmetic change since the drivers
calling the function (namely, mt7915 and mt7921) set WANT_MONITOR_VIF flag
so judging by info->control.vif initialization inside ieee80211_tx_*()
routines it can't actually come as NULL here.
The same holds for the BSS conf pointer handling inside
mt76_connac2_mac_tx_rate_val(). It is dereferenced before being checked
for NULL. The function supposes to handle the case so reorder the check
and dereference of the pointer. Again, this looks like a syntax issue
only.

wifi: mt76: mmio_*_copy fix byte order and alignment
Update functions which copy to and from MMIO to load bytes as Little
Endian, and also support unaligned buffers.
PCI devices almost universally use Little Endian ordering for MMIO
registers, mt76 is no exception. PCI hardware that is designed to work
with Big Endian CPUs often (but not always) "helps" by transparently
byte-swapping MMIO reads and writes on the wire. If this is enabled
then it cannot be turned off for a single write. On hardware which does
not support this, writel() does the swap in software. When we are
transferring arbitrary bytes to MMIO space, we need them to arrive in
the same order they were in memory, so when the hardware swaps them
this is a problem. Rather than care about how our PCI host controller
works, we instead load bytes as Little Endian - so on a Big Endian
machine this will reverse them, then we use writel() which will put
them back in the right order again. This way we do not make it our
business whether the swapping is done in software or hardware.
Furthermore, inspection of the code shows that these functions are
often called with stack-allocated u8 arrays which have no alignment
guarantees so we now use (get|put)_unaligned_le32().

The commit 22b980badc0f ("mt76: add functions for parsing rate power limits

* country
If either the country or the regdomain matches, the power limits are
applied and the search is aborted. If none of the two is defined for the
power limit, it is a global (or "fallback") power limit. The last
"fallback" power limit in the list will be returned when not matching
regdomain or country was found.
The idea is here to allow to specify "overwriting" country limits in front
of the list - just in case a regdomain is shared but a country has
additional limitations.
But this property was forgotten to be defined in commit 2de6ccebe0e7

byte with a be32 operation. As result, loading was mostly failing or was
sending completely unexpected values to the firmware.
Since the other rates are also stored in the devicetree as bytewise arrays,
just drop the u32 access + be32_to_cpu conversion and directly access them
as bytes arrays.

wifi: rtlwifi: add WQ_UNBOUND to alloc_workqueue users
Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
For more details see the Link tag below.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.

wifi: rtl818x: rtl8187: Fix potential buffer underflow in rtl8187_rx_cb()
The rtl8187_rx_cb() calculates the rx descriptor header address
by subtracting its size from the skb tail pointer.
However, it does not validate if the received packet
(skb->len from urb->actual_length) is large enough to contain this
header.
If a truncated packet is received, this will lead to a buffer
underflow, reading memory before the start of the skb data area,
and causing a kernel panic.
Add length checks for both rtl8187 and rtl8187b descriptor headers
before attempting to access them, dropping the packet cleanly if the
check fails.

optimized by the scheduler.

case, workqueue users must be converted to the better named new workqueues with
no intended behaviour changes:

wifi: rtw89: flush TX queue before deleting key
In the wpa_supplicant rekey flow, it sends an EAPOL packet 4/4 through
nl80211_tx_control_port() and triggers wake_tx_queue() in the driver.
Then, it sends nl80211_new_key() to configure a new key in mac80211.
However, in wake_tx_queue(), a workqueue is used to process the TX packet,
which might cause the driver to process the EAPOL packet later than
nl80211_new_key(). This results in the EAPOL packet 4/4 being transmitted
with the new key and IV, causing it to be dropped by the AP. Therefore,
needs to flush TX queue before deleting the old key to ensure that the
EAPOL 4/4 packet is transmitted using the old key.
