Jakub Kicinski 196dd92a00 wireless-next patches for v6.2
First set of patches v6.2. mac80211 refactoring continues for Wi-Fi 7.
 All mac80211 driver are now converted to use internal TX queues, this
 might cause some regressions so we wanted to do this early in the
 cycle.
 
 Note: wireless tree was merged[1] to wireless-next to avoid some
 conflicts with mac80211 patches between the trees. Unfortunately there
 are still two smaller conflicts in net/mac80211/util.c which Stephen
 also reported[2]. In the first conflict initialise scratch_len to
 "params->scratch_len ?: 3 * params->len" (note number 3, not 2!) and
 in the second conflict take the version which uses elems->scratch_pos.
 
 Git diff output should like this:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
