Eliad Peller 04e8079c69 wl12xx: add device role commands
The device role is a special role used for rx and tx frames
prior to association (as the STA role can get packets only
from its associated bssid)

Since this role is required for the sta association process,
we enable it when a new sta interface is created.

Eliad Peller c690ec816f wl12xx: update commands & events
Change the commands and events according to the new fw api
(fw >= 6/7.3.0.0.75).

The main change is the replacement of JOIN/DISCONNECT commands,
with ROLE_START/ROLE_STOP commands.

The use of these commands should be preceded by the ROLE_ENABLE
command (allocating role resources), and followed by the
ROLE_DISABLE command (freeing role resources).

Eliad Peller 7f097988f1 wl12xx: update acx commands
Update the acx commands according to the new fw api
(fw >= 6/7.3.0.0.75).

The main change in most of the ACXs is the addition
of a new role_id/link_id field, which is required
for multi-role operation.

Currently, we don't really support multi-role, as
most of our data (inside wl) is global.
As the current fw doesn't support concurrent roles
yet, keep it this way and add wl->role_id and
wl->sta_hlid to save the active role/link.

Arik Nemtsov f1a46384ad wl12xx: start/stop queues according to global per-AC counters
Split tx_queue_count to count per-AC skb's queued, instead of relying on
the skb-queue len. The skb queues used were only valid in STA-mode, as
AP-mode uses per-link queues.

This fixes a major regression in AP-mode, caused by the patch
"wl12xx: implement Tx watermarks per AC". With that patch applied, we
effectively had no regulation of Tx queues in AP-mode. Therefore a
sustained high rate of Tx could cause exhaustion of the skb memory pool.

The current TX watermark settings cause the driver to stop queues too
frequently. Among other things, this can have a negative impact on WMM
prioritization, since mac80211 sorts pending packets by their ACs.

it decides which to transmit according to WMM QoS parameters.

Ido Yariv 95dac04f88 wl12xx: Support routing FW logs to the host
A recently added feature to the firmware enables the driver to retrieve
firmware logs via the host bus (SDIO or SPI).

There are two modes of operation:
1. On-demand: The FW collects its log in an internal ring buffer. This
   buffer can later be read, for example, upon recovery.
2. Continuous: The FW pushes the FW logs as special packets in the RX
   path.

Reading the internal ring buffer does not involve the FW. Thus, as long
as the HW is not in ELP, it should be possible to read the logs, even if
the FW crashes.

A sysfs binary file named "fwlog" was added to support this feature,
letting a monitor process read the FW messages. The log is transferred
from the FW only when available, so the reading process might block.

Ido Yariv 341b7cde6c wl12xx: Handle platforms without level trigger interrupts
Some platforms are incapable of triggering on level interrupts. Add a
platform quirks member in the platform data structure, as well as an
edge interrupt quirk which can be set on such platforms.

When the interrupt is requested with IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING, IRQF_ONESHOT
cannot be used, as we might miss interrupts that occur after the FW
status is cleared and before the threaded interrupt handler exits.

Moreover, when IRQF_ONESHOT is not set, iterating more than once in the
threaded interrupt handler introduces a few race conditions between this
handler and the hardirq handler. Currently this is worked around by
limiting the loop to one iteration only. This workaround has an impact
on performance. To remove to this restriction, the race conditions will
need to be addressed.

Ido Yariv 990f5de738 wl12xx: Clean up the dummy packet mechanism
The current implementation allocates a skb each time one is requested by
the firmware. Since dummy packets are handled differently than regular
packets, the skb needs to be marked. Currently, this is done by
setting the pkt_type member to 5. This might not be safe, as we cannot
be sure that there won't be any other packets with this pkt_type value.

Since the packet does not change from one request to another, we can
simply allocate a dummy packet template and always send it. All changes
to the skb done during packet preparation must be reverted, so the same
skb can be reused.

The dummy packets are not transmitted, therefore there's no need to set
the BSSID or our own MAC address.

In addition, the header portion of the packet was zeroed by mistake, so
fix that as well.

  - Rename NVS macro name: wl127x and wl128x are using the same NVS
    file name. However, the ini parameters between them are
    different. The driver will validate the correct NVS size in
    wl1271_boot_upload_nvs().

Ido Yariv b07d403705 wl12xx: Avoid redundant TX work
TX might be handled in the threaded IRQ handler, in which case, TX work
might be scheduled just to discover it has nothing to do.

Save a few context switches by cancelling redundant TX work in case TX
is about to be handled in the threaded IRQ handler. Also, avoid
scheduling TX work from wl1271_op_tx if not needed.

Ido Yariv a620865edf wl12xx: Switch to a threaded interrupt handler
To achieve maximal throughput, it is very important to react to
interrupts as soon as possible. Currently the interrupt handler wakes up
a worker for handling interrupts in process context. A cleaner and more
efficient design would be to request a threaded interrupt handler.  This
handler's priority is very high, and can do blocking operations such as
SDIO/SPI transactions.

Some work can be deferred, mostly calls to mac80211 APIs
(ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_tx_status). By deferring such work to a
different worker, we can keep the irq handler thread more I/O
responsive. In addition, on multi-core systems the two threads can be
scheduled on different cores, which will improve overall performance.

The use of WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_PENDING & WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING was
changed. For simplicity, always query the FW for more pending
interrupts. Since there are relatively long bursts of interrupts, the
extra FW status read overhead is negligible. In addition, this enables
registering the IRQ handler with the ONESHOT option.

Ido Yariv 606ea9fa0b wl12xx: Do end-of-transactions transfers only if needed
On newer hardware revisions, there is no need to write the host's
counter at the end of a RX transaction. The same applies to writing the
number of packets at the end of a TX transaction.

It is generally a good idea to avoid unnecessary SDIO/SPI transfers.
Throughput and CPU usage are improved when avoiding these.

Send the host's RX counter and the TX packet count only if needed, based
on the hardware revision.

[Changed WL12XX_QUIRK_END_OF_TRANSACTION to use BIT(0) -- Luca]

Sebastien Jan f62c317c1f wl12xx: fix the path to the wl12xx firmwares
In the linux-firmware git tree, the firmwares and the NVS are inside
the ti-connectivity directory.  Fix the filenames that the driver
looks for accordingly.

Arik Nemtsov b622d992c2 wl12xx: AP-mode - management of links in PS-mode
Update the PS mode of each link according to a bitmap polled from
fw_status. Manually notify mac80211 about PS mode changes in connected
stations.

mac80211 will only be notified about PS start when the station is in PS
and there is a small number of TX blocks from this link ready in HW.
This is required for waking up the remote station since the TIM is
updated entirely by FW.

When a station enters mac80211-PS-mode, we drop all the skbs in the
low-level TX queues belonging to this sta with STAT_TX_FILTERED
to keep our queues clean.
