Wen Gong bb300130e4 ath11k: reduce the wait time of 11d scan and hw scan while add interface
(cherry picked from commit 1f682dc9fb in wireless-next)

Currently ath11k will wait 11d scan complete while add interface in
ath11k_mac_op_add_interface(), when system resume without enable
wowlan, ath11k_mac_op_add_interface() is called for each resume, thus
it increase the resume time of system. And ath11k_mac_op_hw_scan()
after ath11k_mac_op_add_interface() also needs some time cost because
the previous 11d scan need more than 5 seconds when 6 GHz is enabled,
then the scan started event will indicated to ath11k after the 11d
scan completed.

While 11d scan/hw scan is running in firmware, if ath11k update channel
list to firmware by WMI_SCAN_CHAN_LIST_CMDID, then firmware will cancel
the current scan which is running, it lead the scan failed. The patch
commit 9dcf6808b2 ("ath11k: add 11d scan offload support") used
finish_11d_scan/finish_11d_ch_list/pending_11d to synchronize the 11d
scan/hw scan/channel list between ath11k/firmware/mac80211 and to avoid
the scan fail.

Add wait operation before ath11k update channel list, function
ath11k_reg_update_chan_list() will wait until the current 11d scan/hw
scan completed. And remove the wait operation of start 11d scan and
waiting channel list complete in hw scan. After these changes, resume
time cost reduce about 5 seconds and also hw scan time cost reduced
obviously, and scan failed not seen.

The 11d scan is sent to firmware only one time for each interface added
in mac.c, and it is moved after the 1st hw scan because 11d scan will
cost some time and thus leads the AP scan result update to UI delay.
Currently priority of ath11k's hw scan is WMI_SCAN_PRIORITY_LOW, and
priority of 11d scan in firmware is WMI_SCAN_PRIORITY_MEDIUM, then the
11d scan which sent after hw scan will cancel the hw scan in firmware,
so change the priority to WMI_SCAN_PRIORITY_MEDIUM for the hw scan which
is in front of the 11d scan, thus it will not happen scan cancel in
firmware.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
