Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Conflicts: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/pcie.c net/ipv6/sit.c The SIT driver conflict consists of a bug fix being done by hand in 'net' (missing u64_stats_init()) whilst in 'net-next' a helper was created (netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats()) which takes care of this. The two wireless conflicts were overlapping changes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
