In some cases, in particular for experimentation, it
can be useful to be able to add vendor namespace data
to received frames in addition to the normal radiotap
data.

Allow doing this through mac80211 by adding fields to
the RX status descriptor that describe the data while
the data itself is prepended to the frame.

Also add some example code to hwsim, but don't enable
it because it doesn't use a proper OUI identifier.

Allow drivers to indicate their mactime is at RX completion and adjust
for this in mac80211. Also rename the existing RX_FLAG_MACTIME_MPDU to
RX_FLAG_MACTIME_START to clarify its intent. Based on similar code by
Johannes Berg.

During hardware restart, all interfaces are iterated even
though they haven't been re-added to the driver, document
this behaviour. The same also happens during resume, which
is even more confusing since all of the interfaces were
previously removed from the driver. Make this optional so
drivers relying on the current behaviour can still use it,
but to let drivers that don't want this behaviour disable
it.

Also convert all API users, keeping the old semantics
except in hwsim, where the new normal ones are desired.

Just for debugging, print the interface TX
power whenever it changes.
Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The TX power setting is currently per wiphy (hardware
device) but with multi-channel capabilities that doesn't
make much sense any more.

Allow drivers (and mac80211) to advertise support for
per-interface TX power configuration. When the TX power
is configured for the wiphy, the wdev will be NULL and
the driver can still handle that, but when a wdev is
given the TX power can be set only for that wdev now.

To use mac80211_hwsim for testing channel contexts it
has to support them, and for that it has to support
hw scan and hw-remain-on-channel.

Since it's pure software, the off-channel activities
are really not off-channel but listening and sending
on a second channel. Also, the multi-channel isn't
really doing TDM, it's just on both channels at the
same time.

For testing purposes, you can specify the number of
concurrent channels with a module parameter, it is
set to one by default. When set to two or more, the
userspace API for wmediumd is disabled as it has no
provisions for multi-channel yet.

Whenever WLAN receives scheduling msg from BT, it reduces tx power
based on RSSI level. And then BT starts simultaneous transmission
along with WLAN. Sometimes HW MAC compares tx power that is used
prior to power reduction which is causing BT transmission to defer.

This driver is for the AR5523 chipset from Atheros. It was created
in 2007 by Christoph Hellwig but it was never finished. I found it a
couple of months ago and after some polishing it's working pretty
fine.

The driver was written with the FreeBSD driver (uath) as reference,
which was written with the reverse-engineered windows driver as
reference, hence the feature set is very limited. Station mode
only, no HW crypto offload.

carl9170_handle_mpdu is the final part of the
rx path of the driver. It splits the raw data
streams from the device into skb packets and
passes them on to mac80211. As a result of
continuous updates, it grew over the years when
new code was added by the following commits:
	- report A-MPDU status
	- fix HT peer BA session corruption
	- A-MPDU frame type filter
	- ...

This patch splits the routine into two stages.
The first stage only deals with the details
about extracting and verifying the data from
the incoming stream. Whereas the second stage
packs it into skbs and passes it on to mac80211.
