This is the 4.19.25 stable release

wireless-drivers-next patches for 5.1

Most likely the last set of patches for 5.1. WPA3 support to ath10k
and qtnfmac. FTM support to iwlwifi and ath10k. And of course other
new features and bugfixes.

wireless-drivers was merged due to dependency in mt76.

Major changes:

iwlwifi

* HE radiotap

* FTM (Fine Timing Measurement) initiator and responder implementation

* bump supported firmware API to 46

* VHT extended NSS support

* new PCI IDs for 9260 and 22000 series

ath10k

* change QMI interface to support the new (and backwards incompatible)
  interface from HL3.1 and used in recent HL2.0 branch firmware
  releases

* support WPA3 with WCN3990

* support for mac80211 airtime fairness based on transmit rate
  estimation, the firmware needs to support WMI_SERVICE_PEER_STATS to
  enable this

* report transmit airtime to mac80211 with firmwares having
  WMI_SERVICE_REPORT_AIRTIME feature, this to have more accurate
  airtime fairness based on real transmit time (instead of just
  estimated from transmit rate)

* support Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) responder role

* add dynamic VLAN support with firmware having WMI_SERVICE_PER_PACKET_SW_ENCRYPT

* switch to use SPDX license identifiers

ath

* add new country codes for US

brcmfmac

* support monitor frames with the hardware/ucode header

qtnfmac

* enable WPA3 SAE and OWE support

mt76

* beacon support for USB devices (mesh+ad-hoc only)

rtlwifi

* convert to use SPDX license identifiers

libertas_tf

* get the MAC address before registering the device

This time we have, of note:
 * the massive patch series for multi-BSSID support, I ended up
   applying that through a side branch to record some details
 * CSA improvements
 * HE (802.11ax) updates to Draft 3.3
 * strongly typed element iteration/etc. to make such code more
   readable - this came up in particular in multi-BSSID
 * rhashtable conversion patches from Herbert
Along, as usual, with various fixes and improvements.

Three more fixes:
 * mac80211 mesh code wasn't allocating SKB tailroom properly
   in some cases
 * tx_sk_pacing_shift should be 7 for better performance
 * mac80211_hwsim wasn't propagating genlmsg_reply() errors

Power management fixes for final 5.0

 - Use hrtimer_try_to_cancel() instead of hrtimer_cancel() in the
   PM-runtime framework to avoid a possible timer-related deadlock
   introduced recently (Vincent Guittot).

 - Reorder the scmi-cpufreq driver code to avoid accessing memory
   that has just been freed (Yangtao Li).

This is the 4.20.11 stable release

This is the 4.19.24 stable release

This is the 4.14.102 stable release

This is the 4.9.159 stable release

This is the 4.4.175 stable release

This is the 3.18.135 stable release

Two GPIO fixes for the v5.0 series:
- Per-instance irqchip on the MT7621
- Avoid direction setting using pin control on MMP2

sound fixes for 5.0

Here are a few last-minute fixes for 5.0.  The most significant one
is the OF-node refcount fix for ASoC simple-card, which could be
triggered on many boards.  Another fix for ASoC core is for the
error handling in topology, while others are device-specific fixes
for Samsung and HD-audio.
