Merge tag 'mac80211-for-john-2014-10-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211
Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> says: "Here are a few fixes for the wireless stack: one fixes the RTS rate, one for a debugfs file, one to return the correct channel to userspace, a sanity check for a userspace value and the remaining two are just documentation fixes." Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
