On our hardware (050d:7050 Belkin Components F5D7050 Wireless G Adapter),
setting any WEP key with non zero index, cause rx frames corruption.
Note: perhaps (I did not check) this can be fixed differently - by using
hw_key_idx the same as true MAC key index. But according to the comment in
rt2x00mac_set_key():
"the hardware requires keys to be assigned in correct order (When key 1
is provided but key 0 is not, then the key is not found by the hardware
during RX)"
this will be quite problematic. Since WEP should not be used, disabling
hardware crypto offload for it will not hurt much. Beside static
one key WEP will still be offloaded.

The user ratekbs of MCS15 ShortGI is incorrect and can not be lesser
than MCS15 rate. This incorrect rate may affect switching to higher
rates as the rate control algorithm always finds MCS15 is better
than MCS15 ShortGI and results in lower throughput. Fix this by
feeding the correct user ratekbs for MCS15 ShortGI rate.

Key locking simplification removed key->sdata != NULL verification from
ieee80211_key_free(). While that is fine for most use cases, there is one
path where this function can be called with an unlinked key (i.e.,
key->sdata == NULL && key->local == NULL). This results in a NULL pointer
dereference with the current implementation. This is known to happen at
least with FT protocol when wpa_supplicant tries to configure the key
before association.
Avoid the issue by passing in the local pointer to
ieee80211_key_free(). In addition, do not clear the key from hw_accel
or debugfs if it has not yet been added. At least the hw_accel one could
trigger another NULL pointer dereference.

This is almost correct but we do do break out of the TLV
parsing loop when setting ret. However, the code is hard
to follow, and clearly even the compiler is having issues
with it too.
Additionally, however, the current code is wrong. If there
is a TLV length check error, the code will report
invalid TLV after parsing: ...
because "len" will still be non-zero as we broke out of
the loop.
So to remove the warning and fix that issue, make the code
easier to read by doing length checking with an error label.
As a result, we can completely remove the "ret" variable.
Also, while at it, remove the "fixed_tlv_size" variable
since each TLV type has its own specified length, it just
happens that we have only variable length, flags (0 length)
and u32 TLVs right now. It should still be checked with more
explicit length checks to make it easier to understand.

Bob reported a lockdep complaint originating in
the mac80211 IBSS code due to the common work
struct patch. The reason is that the IBSS and
station mode code have different locking orders
for the cfg80211 wdev lock and the work struct
(where "locking" implies running/canceling).
Fix this by simply not canceling the work in
the IBSS code, it is not necessary since when
the REQ_RUN bit is cleared, the work will run
without effect if it runs. When the interface
is set down, it is flushed anyway, so there's
no concern about it running after memory has
been invalidated either.
This fixes
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16419
Additionally, looking into this I noticed that
there's a small window while the IBSS is torn
down in which the work may be rescheduled and
the REQ_RUN bit be set again after leave() has
cleared it when a scan finishes at exactly the
same time. Avoid that by setting the ssid_len
to zero before clearing REQ_RUN which signals
to the scan finish code that this interface is
not active.
