test0r b8ba0b342e patches: re-roll staging-prep as 7-patch series (tx-bounce added)
Fold bes2600/tx-sdio-dma-oob into the linear series as 7/7.
Re-cover-letter and update testing matrix. Update UPSTREAM.md table
and submission route to list the 7th branch. The PS Mode Error
residual note is removed from the known-limitations section -- it
stopped recurring after 7/7 deployed.

Both staging-prep-series/ (Mobian paths) and staging-prep-series-
danctnix/ (drivers/staging/bes2600/ paths) variants regenerated;
all 14 patch files checkpatch --strict clean (0/0/0).

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] bes2600: gate device LP-mode entry on successful per-VIF
firmware handshake
bes2600_pwr_enter_lp_mode() drives the transition to low-power for each
associated STA VIF: it pushes wsm_set_pm(), waits up to 5 seconds on
pm_enter_cmpl for the firmware to acknowledge, then unconditionally
calls bes2600_pwr_device_enter_lp_mode() to drop the device end of the
bus.
Two bugs:
1. A failed wsm_set_pm() only logs an error, then still falls into
wait_for_completion_timeout() on a completion the firmware will
never post (the set-mode command never reached it). The loop
therefore always blocks the full 5 s, logs a second error, and
proceeds.
2. A genuine wait-timeout (firmware received the set-mode command but
never posted the indication) also only logs a warning. The code
then drops to bes2600_pwr_device_enter_lp_mode(), handing the
device subsystem an inconsistent view of mac-layer state.
On PineTab2 (BES2600WM + RK3566) the second bug is the recurring
root-cause of the 'bes2600_pwr_enter_lp_mode, wait pm ind timeout'
message flooding dmesg every 5-10 s when the interface is associated
and idle. Sending the device to LP in that state cascades into the
SDIO TX path as the 'bes_sdio_memcpy_to_io_helper / sdio_tx_work'
WARN splat.
Fix:
- Add a 'timeouts' counter; bump it on both failure paths.
- Skip the wait_for_completion entirely when wsm_set_pm() failed
(there is no completion to wait for).
- Only call bes2600_pwr_device_enter_lp_mode() when every per-VIF
handshake reached firmware-ACKed completion; otherwise return
-ETIMEDOUT and leave the device in its current power state.
Tested-on: PineTab2 running linux-pinetab2 6.19.10-danctnix1-1.
Post-patch the handshake still fails on this particular firmware
revision (separate root-cause investigation outside this patch), but
the driver now returns -ETIMEDOUT cleanly instead of flooding dmesg
and destabilising the SDIO path.
