Rajkumar Manoharan fa6e15e0b5 ath9k_htc: Identify devices using driver_info
Categorize AR7010 & AR9287 devices based on driver_info
of usb_device_id, instead of PIDs. This avoids per-device cases
and minimize code changes for new device addition.

Rajkumar Manoharan f7ec8fb4d6 ath9k_hw: Fix eeprom offset for AR9287 devices (PCI/USB)
AR9287 devices (PCI/USB) use different eeprom start location
to read nvram. New devices might endup with same devid. So use
driver_info to set offset, instead of devid. driver_info is
valid for HTC devices alone which is filled in usb_device_id.

Rajkumar Manoharan bedbbb959d ath: Add a driver_info bitmask field
The driver_info stores the device category information which
is used to load appropriate device firmware, select firmware offset
and eeprom starting location. The driver_info is accessed across
ath9k_htc and ath9k_hw. Hence placed under common structure.

Johannes Berg 99ba2a1428 mac80211: implement packet loss notification
For drivers that have accurate TX status reporting
we can report the number of consecutive lost packets
to userspace using the new cfg80211 CQM event. The
threshold is fixed right now, this may need to be
improved in the future.

Johannes Berg c063dbf52b cfg80211: allow using CQM event to notify packet loss
This adds the ability for drivers to use CQM events
to notify about packet loss for specific stations
(which could be the AP for the managed mode case).
Since the threshold might be determined by the
driver (it isn't passed in right now) it will be
passed out of the driver to userspace in the event.

Felix Fietkau 72a8a3edd6 mac80211: reduce the number of retries for nullfunc probing
Since nullfunc frames are transmitted as unicast frames, they're more
reliable than the broadcast probe requests, so we need fewer retries
to figure out whether the AP is really gone.

Felix Fietkau 4e5ff37692 mac80211: use nullfunc instead of probe request for connection monitoring
nullfunc frames are better for connection monitoring, because probe requests
are answered even if the AP has already dropped the connection, whereas
nullfunc frames from an unassociated station will trigger a disassoc/deauth
frame from the AP (WLAN_REASON_CLASS3_FRAME_FROM_NONASSOC_STA), which allows
the station to reconnect immediately instead of waiting until it attempts to
transmit the next unicast frame.

This only works on hardware with reliable tx ACK reporting, any other hardware
needs to fall back to the probe request method.

Instead of using a fixed 2 second timeout, calculate beacon loss interval

loss happens after N (default 7) consecutive frames are missed which
for a typical setup (100TU beacon interval) is ~700ms (or ~1/3 previous).

Additional comment by Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>:

This change deserves a bit more explanation. You might include something like
"These tables came from reverse engineering the 5.10.56.46 version of the
Broadcom driver. Trace comparisons between b43 and the current Broadcom driver
(5.10.120.0) show byte reversals for the PHY register writes."

Using static const generally increases object text and decreases data size.
It also generally decreases overall object size.

Johannes Berg b5bb2f2beb iwlwifi: fix modular 3945 only build
If only 3945 is selected, and is a module, build
fails because iwl-legacy.c won't be compiled. Fix
this by adding it to the build correctly.

This doesn't happen for 4965 because it is a bool
option, not tristate, since it's built into the
AGN module.

Helmut Schaa 18890d4b89 mac80211: Disable hw crypto for GTKs on AP VLAN interfaces
When using AP VLAN interfaces, each VLAN interface should be in its own
broadcast domain. Hostapd achieves this by assigning different GTKs to
different AP VLAN interfaces.

However, mac80211 drivers are not aware of AP VLAN interfaces and as
such mac80211 sends the GTK to the driver in the context of the base AP
mode interface. This causes problems when multiple AP VLAN interfaces
are used since the driver will use the same key slot for the different
GTKs (there's no way for the driver to distinguish the different GTKs
from different AP VLAN interfaces). Thus, only the clients associated
to one AP VLAN interface (the one that was created last) can actually
use broadcast traffic.

Fix this by not programming any GTKs for AP VLAN interfaces into the hw
but fall back to using software crypto. The GTK for the underlying AP
interface is still sent to the driver.

That means, broadcast traffic to stations associated to an AP VLAN
interface is encrypted in software whereas broadcast traffic to
stations associated to the non-VLAN AP interface is encrypted in
hardware.
