--------------------
I apologize for not having sent this sooner.  FWIW, I was in a car
somewhere between Illinois and North Carolina for most of the day
Sunday and Monday... :-)

This is (obviously) the last non-fix pull request for wireless bits
intended for 3.5.  It includes AP support for mwifiex, a variety of HCI
and other updates for NFC, some brcmfmac and brcmsmac refactoring,
a large batch of ssb and bcma updates, a batch of ath6kl updates,
some cfg80211 and mac80211 updates/refactoring from Johannes Berg,
a rather large collection of Bluetooth updates by way of Gustavo,
and a variety of other bits here and there.

+What:	Removing the pn544 raw driver.
+When:	3.6
+Why:	With the introduction of the NFC HCI and SHDL kernel layers, pn544.c
+	is being replaced by pn544_hci.c which is accessible through the netlink
+	and socket NFC APIs. Moreover, pn544.c is outdated and does not seem to
+	work properly with the latest Android stacks.
+	Having 2 drivers for the same hardware is confusing and as such we
+	should only keep the one following the kernel NFC APIs.
