Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us.

It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations
disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a
bit.

Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar
number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling
the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also
*seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.

We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that
we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run
reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates
some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only
do so much.

The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe
errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us
ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to
tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to
letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork,
automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and
maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from
people we trust...

Core & protocols:

- A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence:
- per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g.
veth, ipvlan, tunnels)
- rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE)
- prepare software drivers and TC qdiscs for rtnl_lock-less GET

- Support BIG TCP (>64kB TSO) in UDP tunnels (vxlan, geneve)

out-of-order queue had to be pruned

- Report the per-group user count via RTM_GETMULTICAST

- Expose the route deletion reason in RTM_DELROUTE

useful handling of LSM denials when receiving SCM_RIGHTS messages:
instead of truncating the message at the first blocked fd, keep
every fd slot and store the LSM errno in the blocked slot

wifi: nxp: add nxpwifi driver for IW61x

Add support for the NXP IW61x wireless devices.

The nxpwifi driver implements a full-MAC design and integrates with
cfg80211 for configuration and control, supporting both station (STA)
and access point (AP) modes.

The driver provides a firmware-based command/event interface using TLV
messages, with the core handling command processing, event dispatching,
and device lifecycle management. A SDIO transport layer is implemented
to support IW61x devices.

Key features include:
- 802.11n/ac/ax (HT/VHT/HE) capability support
- Scan, association, and connection management
- Data path handling for TX/RX, including aggregation and reorder
- WMM QoS support and traffic prioritization
- 802.11h (DFS/TPC) support for regulatory compliance
- cfg80211 integration for STA and AP operations
- Debugfs and ethtool support
- Wake-on-LAN support

The driver translates cfg80211 configuration into firmware commands
and implements required data path processing in software where needed.
