The station change API isn't being checked properly before
drivers are called, and as a result it is difficult to see
what should be allowed and what not.
In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse
everything first, and then have the driver call a function
(cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally
information about the kind of station that is being changed;
this allows the function to make better decisions than the
old code could.
While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh
and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation.
To be able to reduce a few checks, ignore any flag set bits
when the mask isn't set, they shouldn't be applied then.

Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT)
using the control channel frequency (as before) and
new attributes for the channel width and first and
second center frequency. The old channel type is of
course still supported for HT.
Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct
to support these by adding the relevant fields to
it (and removing the _type field.)
This also adds new helper functions:
- cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def
struct given the control channel and channel type,
- cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel
definitions are identical
- cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given
channel definitions are compatible, and return the
wider of the two
This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter
until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's
missing
- regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that
even makes sense)
- regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it)
- a proper channel compatibility calculation for the
new channel types

Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type
to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel
definition struct. Right now, this struct contains just
the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this
will change.
Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so
that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the
new structure all the time, which will change.

As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the
only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel
with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it.
This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations
right now.
Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or
not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code
by removing the ability to use different channel types.
Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if
we extend it again later (with the needed capability
flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

The TX power setting is currently per wiphy (hardware

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.

This patch reflects changes in the firmware scheduled scan
implementation to behave better in cases with multiple concurrent vifs.
Major changes:
- scheduled scan filters and state are now programmed per-vif.
- decouple scheduled scan from host sleep.
To maintain graceful failure with old firmwares, a new firmware
capability bit is introduced: ATH6KL_FW_CAPABILITY_SCHED_SCAN_V2.
ath6kl simply won't advertise scheduled scan to cfg80211 if the
SCHED_SCAN_V2 is not supported.
Since firmwares from here on out won't support the previous implicit API
for scheduled scan (set WoW filters and host sleep), bump the firmware
API to protect old drivers.
Unfortunately, due to firmware RAM constraints ath6kl still cannot
expect a scan complete event at the end of a scheduled scan results
cycle, so the sched_scan_timer is retained.

Only WoW filters for the first vif were being set, causing failures to
wake up on any concurrent connected vifs. Handle all per-vif suspend
and resume tasks.
Since cfg80211 issues user wow filters on a per-wiphy basis, set any
custom filters on all connected vifs.
Starting WoW in firmware and setting host sleep mode is still handled on
a global per-phy level. The first vif is always used for bookkeeping
regardless of whether it is connected or not.
WoW is cancelled if no connected vifs are found.
No firmware capability bits or API bump is needed for this patch, as
setting filters for vifs with index > 0 will simply overwrite the index
0 filters in the current implementation. While not correct, this is
identical to the existing behavior.

Instead of setting the channel first and then
starting the AP, let cfg80211 store the channel
and provide it as one of the AP settings.
This means that now you have to set the channel
before you can start an AP interface, but since
hostapd/wpa_supplicant always do that we're OK
with this change.
Alternatively, it's now possible to give the
channel as an attribute to the start-ap nl80211

In virtual interface structure, for each band separate ht cap
is needed. so that one can disable or enable ht capability band
wise.
This will fix the following issue:
1) Disable 11n from supplicant and start a P2P GO.
2) In beacon frames no HT-CAP IE is seen which is expected.
3) Now remove the P2P GO and kill the supplicant.
4) Beacon stops
5) Now using iw associate to an external AP in 5 GHZ
6) In 5 GHZ no HT IE going in assoc request but
when associated in 2.4 GHZ can see HT IES over the air
in assoc request.
In the code for del_beacon in cfg80211.c,set_ht_cap is being
called first for 2.4 GHZ and then for 5 GHZ. When called
for the first time for 2.4 GHZ the enable flag will be set to true
and so when called for the second time for 5 GHZ it just returns
after checking the flag.
Also using this one can have different HT capabilities
per band (for example one may decide not to use 20/40 in 2.4 GHZ
but use it in 5 GHZ). So maintaining a single context is not ok.
it is true for even the enable/disable flag and other HT
capabilities as well
