ath6kl: Remove old 802.11a-only channels

ath6kl: Remove old 802.11a-only channels

Channels 34/38/42/46 can only be used for compatibility with old devices sold
in Japan. Modern products, such as AR6003/AR6004 don't support these channels.
Keeping them in the upstream is error prone and requires full network stack
support. A custom patch should be used in case such compatibility is required.

Without this one, a user is able to start an AP using wpa_supplicant,
for example, on one of these channels (34/38/42/46), without getting
any warning/error from the cfg80211 or ath6kl - which is correct
(since these channels match regdom rules). However, the AR6003 and its
firmware (we're using v3.4.0.225) will fail and return
"WMI_CMDERROR_EVENTID" with "INVALID_PARAM" error code.

ath6kl: Allow the radio to report 0 dbm txpower without timing out

The ath6kl driver attempts to get the txpower value from the radio by first
clearing the existing stored value and then watching the value to become
non-zero.

APs allow setting client power to values from -127..127, but this radio
is not capable of setting values less then 0 and so will report txpower
as 0dbm for both negative and 0 client power values.

When the radio has txpower set to 0dbm txpower (equivalent to 1mw) the
ath6kl_cfg80211_get_txpower() function will remain in the
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() loop waiting for the value to be
non-zero, and will eventually timeout. This results in a 5 second delay in
response. However, the correct value of zero is eventually returned.

The 6004 defaults to 63dbm which is then limited by regulatory and
hardware limits with max of 18dbm (6003 max is 16dbm), therefore we can
use values larger then these to be able to determine when the value has
been updated.

To correct the issue, set the value to a nonsensical value (255) and wait
for it to change to the valid value.

Tested on both 6003 and 6004 based radios. Return value of zero is
correctly returned in an expected amount of time (similar to when
returning non-zero values) when AP client power is set to both 0 and
negative values.

tree-wide: replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED()

The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous. In
practical terms, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but the
author might have used it for the meaning of IS_ENABLED(). Using
IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN(), IS_MODULE() etc. makes the intention
clearer.

This commit replaces config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() where possible.
This commit is only touching bool config options.

I noticed two cases where config_enabled() is used against a tristate
option:

- config_enabled(CONFIG_HWMON)
[ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/thermal.c ]

- config_enabled(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE)
[ drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/opregion.c ]

I did not touch them because they should be converted to IS_BUILTIN()
in order to keep the logic, but I was not sure it was the authors'
intention.

When an NL80211_DISCONNECT is sent to cfg80211, the driver's cfg80211
disconnect function sets the sme_state to SME_DISCONNECTED before receiving
a WMI_DISCONNECT_EVENT from the firmware. This caused cfg80211 to not know
that the connection is disconnected because the driver fails to notify
cfg80211 upon receiving WMI_DISCONNECT_EVENT from the firmware believing
it is already disconnected.

The upper layers (eg. connman) are not notified of the tethering mode

ath6kl driver was setting the NL80211_CHAN_HT20 channel without checking
for the HT capabilities. (we should have NL80211_CHAN_NO_HT in our
case because the firmware did not support HT)

nl80211: support beacon report scanning

Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs
on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement
mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a
scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that
the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received
(both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the
request mode is table, this information is optional.
In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel
dwell time for the measurement.

In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or
passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the
channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time
to scan results information.

Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

cfg80211: Add multiple scan plans for scheduled scan

Add the option to configure multiple 'scan plans' for scheduled scan.
Each 'scan plan' defines the number of scan cycles and the interval
between scans. The scan plans are executed in the order they were
configured. The last scan plan will always run infinitely and thus
defines only the interval between scans.
The maximum number of scan plans supported by the device and the
maximum number of iterations in a single scan plan are advertised
to userspace so it can configure the scan plans appropriately.

When scheduled scan results are received there is no way to know which
scan plan is being currently executed, so there is no way to know when
the next scan iteration will start. This is not a problem, however.
The scan start timestamp is only used for flushing old scan results,
and there is no difference between flushing all results received until
the end of the previous iteration or the start of the current one,
since no results will be received in between.

cfg80211: properly send NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP in disconnect

When we disconnect from the AP, drivers call cfg80211_disconnect().
This doesn't know whether the disconnection was initiated locally
or by the AP though, which can cause problems with the supplicant,
for example with WPS. This issue obviously doesn't show up with any
mac80211 based driver since mac80211 doesn't call this function.

Fix this by requiring drivers to indicate whether the disconnect is
locally generated or not. I've tried to update the drivers, but may
not have gotten the values correct, and some drivers may currently
not be able to report correct values. In case of doubt I left it at
false, which is the current behaviour.

For libertas, make adjustments as indicated by Dan Williams.

This will expose in /sys whether the ifname of a device is set by

is not deterministic, so userspace needs to rename these devices
to names that are guaranteed to stay the same between reboots. The
former, however should never be renamed, so userspace needs to be
able to reliably tell the difference.

values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP".

In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the
cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type
argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val"
no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.)

The remaining bits in "capa_mask" and "capa_val" are used only for
privacy matching so replace those two with a privacy enum as well.

cfg80211: change bandwidth reporting to explicit field

For some reason, we made the bandwidth separate flags, which
is rather confusing - a single rate cannot have different
bandwidths at the same time.

Change this to no longer be flags but use a separate field
for the bandwidth ('bw') instead.

While at it, add support for 5 and 10 MHz rates - these are
reported as regular legacy rates with their real bitrate,
but tagged as 5/10 now to make it easier to distinguish them.

In the nl80211 API, the flags are preserved, but the code
now can also clearly only set a single one of the flags.

cfg80211: remove enum station_info_flags

This is really just duplicating the list of information that's
already available in the nl80211 attribute, so remove the list.
Two small changes are needed:

cfg80211: remove enum station_info_flags

This is really just duplicating the list of information that's
already available in the nl80211 attribute, so remove the list.
Two small changes are needed:
* remove STATION_INFO_ASSOC_REQ_IES complete, but the length
(assoc_req_ies_len) can be used instead
* add NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_DROP_MISC which exists internally
but not in nl80211 yet

This gets rid of the duplicate maintenance of the two lists.

cfg80211: allow passing frame type to cfg80211_inform_bss()

When using the cfg80211_inform_bss[_width]() functions drivers
cannot currently indicate whether the data was received in a
beacon or probe response. Fix that by passing a new enum that
indicates such (or unknown).

For good measure, use it in ath6kl.

ath6kl: convert ar6004 hardware flags to firmware feature flags

The functionality defined through these flags were actually firmware features
which can change between firmware versions. To make it possible to support
different firmware versions with the same driver, convert the flags to firmware
feature flags.

For backwards compatibility support for old ar6004 firmware FW
API 3 or smaller images we forcefully set the feature bits in the driver.
Starting from FW API 5 the firmware image needs to set them.
