====================
wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.16
Here are patches which have been accumulating over the holidays and
after the New Year. Business as usual and nothing special really
standing out.
But what's noteworthy here is that Larry Finger is stepping down as
the rtlwifi maintainer. He has been maintaining rtlwifi since it was
applied back in 2010 in commit 0c8173385e ("rtl8192ce: Add new
driver") and it has been no easy role trying to juggle between the
vendor, demanding upstream community and users. So big thank you to
Larry for all his efforts!
