New devices will have rate scaling algorithm running in the firmware.
With this feature, the driver's responsiblity is to provide an initial
configuration and to handle notifications regarding recent rates and
some other parameters. Debugfs hooks will be still available for
reading the current rate/statistics and setting a fixed rate.
The old API is supported so far, though both APIs cannot be used
simultaneously.

This is the first patch in the series. It adds a new TLV specifying
FW support for the new API and updates lq_sta to support two types
of rate scaling.

Up until now, the driver was comparing the rate reported by the FW and
the rate of the latest LQ command to avoid processing data belonging
to the old LQ command. Recently, FW changed the meaning of the initial
rate field in tx response and it holds the actual rate (which is not
necessarily the initial rate of LQ's rate table). Use instead LQ cmd
color to be able to filter out tx responses/BA notifications which
where sent during earlier LQ commands' time frame.

This fixes some throughput degradation in noisy environments.

In scenarios where we haven't converged yet to a specific modulation

Once the FW supports autonomous decision between STBC/BFER/SISO
we no longer set the STBC bit and ANT_AB in the rate table.
However the FW rate in the tx response will have the STBC
or BFER bit set and the antennas set to ANT_AB in case these
were chosen by it. This will cause us to discard any such
response as unmatching the current LQ table and thus break
the rs search cycle completely.
Fix this by relaxing the rate matching in case we're working
with the new API and STBC/BFER are used.

VHT Beamformer (BFER) will be used if the peer supports it

The driver now tells the FW whether BFER and/or STBC are
allowed but the FW will make the decision to use either
or stick to SISO on its own.
BFER is limited to a single remote peer. The driver takes
care of ensuring this to the FW and prioritizes with which

After being idle for a long time (>5sec) the rs statistics
will be stale so we prefer to reset rs and start from legacy
rates again. This gives better results when the attenuation
increased signficantly (e.g. we got further from the AP) and
after a while we start Tx
Note that the first Tx after the idle period will still go out
in the old modulation and rate but this seemed a simpler approach
compared to adding a timer or modifying mac80211 for this.
The negative impact is negligble as we'll recover quickly.
