This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: rtl8723bs: Add missing return for cfg80211_rtw_get_station

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

With Androidx86 8.1, wificond returns "failed to get nl80211_sta_info_tx_failed" and wificondControl returns "Invalid signal poll result from wificond". The fix is to OR sinfo->filled with BIT_ULL(NL80211_STA_INFO_TX_FAILED).

This missing bit is apparently not needed with NetworkManager, but it does no harm in that case.
