Merge tag 'wireless-drivers-for-davem-2015-07-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers

Kalle Valo says:

====================
ath9k:

* fix device ID check for AR956x

iwlwifi:

* bug fixes specific for 8000 series
* fix a crash in time events
* fix a crash in PCIe transport
* fix BT Coex code that prevented association on certain
  devices (3160).
* revert the new RBD allocation model because it introduced
  a bug when running on weak VM setups.
* new device IDs
====================

- *   When the interrupt handler is called, the request is processed.
- *   The page is either stolen - transferred to the upper layer
- *   or reused - added immediately to the iwl->rxq->rx_free list.
- * + When the page is stolen - the driver updates the matching queue's used

- *   When there are two used RBDs - they are transferred to the allocator empty
- *   list. Work is then scheduled for the allocator to start allocating

- *   When there are another 6 used RBDs - they are transferred to the allocator
- *   empty list and the driver tries to claim the pre-allocated buffers and
- *   add them to iwl->rxq->rx_free. If it fails - it continues to claim them
- *   until ready.
- *   When there are 8+ buffers in the free list - either from allocation or from
