 * zd1211rw: treat MAXIM_NEW_RF(0x08) as UW2453_RF(0x09) for TP-Link WN322/422G
 * sctp: Fix crc32c calculations on big-endian arhes.
 * sctp: Correctly start rtx timer on new packet transmissions.
 * sctp: Properly timestamp outgoing data chunks for rtx purposes

 * HID: adjust report descriptor fixup for MS 1028 receiver
 * libata: fix EH device failure handling
 * ide/libata: fix ata_id_is_cfa() (take 4)

This will likely bump the ABI for sparc64 ports.
