Javier Cardona 45904f2165 nl80211/mac80211: define and allow configuring mesh element TTL
The TTL in path selection information elements is different from
the mesh ttl used in mesh data frames.  Version 7.03 of the 11s
draft calls this ttl 'Element TTL'.

Nick Kossifidis b9e61f11f4 ath5k: Include tx ack reporting on hw flags
* Since we report tx acks to the protocol stack, add the needed
 flag to hw_flags. This way we'll also use the new AP probing mechanism.

Nick Kossifidis 19252ecb67 ath5k: Always free tx buffers before reset
* Always free tx buffers before reset, since we also empty hw queues.
 If we don't and a queue gets stuck, we'll never decrease txq_len and sw
 will keep thinking the queue is still stuck even after reset.

Felix Fietkau 04ac3c0ee2 mac80211: speed up AP probing using nullfunc frames
If the nullfunc frame used to probe the AP was not acked, there is no point
in waiting for the probe timeout, so advance to the next try (or disconnect)
immediately.
If we do reach the probe timeout without having received a tx status, the
connection is probably really bad and worth disconnecting.

Bruno Randolf af55688435 lib: Improve EWMA efficiency by using bitshifts
Using bitshifts instead of division and multiplication should improve
performance. That requires weight and factor to be powers of two, but i think
this is something we can live with.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the improved formula!

Helmut Schaa c1ce5a74d1 mac80211: Update last_tx_rate only for data frames
The last_tx_rate field was also updated for non-data frames that are
often sent with a lower rate (for example management frames at 1 Mbps).
This is confusing when the data rate is actually much higher.

Hence, only update the last_tx_rate field with tx rate information
gathered from last data frames.

If the rate control algorithm filled in txrc.reported_rate we don't need
to verify this information.
