Since commit 84af7a6194 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over

decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.
There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

An AP supporting EMA (Enhanced Multi-BSSID advertisement) should set
bit 83 in the extended capabilities IE (9.4.2.26 in the 802.11ax D5 spec).
So the *3rd* bit of the 10th byte should be checked.
Also, in one place, the wrong byte was checked.
(cfg80211_find_ie returns a pointer to the beginning of the IE,

If the AP advertises inconsistent data, namely it has CCFS1 or CCFS2,
but doesn't advertise support for 160/80+80 bandwidth or "Extended NSS

Thus, avoid connecting with higher bandwidth since it's less efficient
that way.

As discussed with Mathy almost two years ago in

we should let userspace process SA-QUERY frames if it
wants to, so that it can handle OCV (operating channel
validation) which mac80211 doesn't know how to.
Evidently I had been expecting Mathy to (re)send such a
patch, but he never did, perhaps expecting me to do it
after our discussion.
In any case, this came up now with OCV getting more

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

cfg80211_chan_def and ieee80211_channel recently gained a
frequency offset component. Handle this where it makes
sense (potentially required by S1G channels).
For IBSS, TDLS, CSA, and ROC we return -EOPNOTSUPP if a
channel with frequency offset is passed, since they may or
may not work. Once someone tests and verifies these
commands work on thos types of channels, we can remove
that error.
join_ocb and join_mesh look harmless because they use a
simple ieee80211_vif_use_channel(), which is using an
already verified channel, so we let those through.

The MLME logic had a workaround that allowed to continue an
association with an AP even if the AP did not provide any basic
rates in its supported rates in the association response, assuming
that the first (non basic) legacy rate could be used as a basic rate.
However, this did not consider the case where the AP (which is
obviously buggy) did not provide any legacy rate.
Fix this by failing the association, as this can result in
an unexpected failure in the low level driver and FW, e.g., in
rate scale logic etc.

Almost all drivers below cfg80211 get the API wrong (except for
cfg80211) and are unable to cope with multiple registrations for
the same frame type, which is valid due to the match filter.
This seems to indicate the API is wrong, and we should maintain
the full information in cfg80211 instead of the drivers.
Change the API to no longer inform the driver about individual
registrations and unregistrations, but rather every time about
the entire state of the entire wiphy and single wdev, whenever
it may have changed. This also simplifies the code in cfg80211
as it no longer has to track exactly what was unregistered and
can free things immediately.

Sequence diagram for a particular kernel crash scenario:
user-space ieee80211_register_hw() ieee80211_tasklet_handler()
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
| | |
|<---phy0----wiphy_register() |
|-----iwd if_add---->| |
| |<---IRQ----(RX packet)
| Kernel crash |
| due to unallocated |
| workqueue. |
| | |
| alloc_ordered_workqueue() |
| | |
| Misc wiphy init. |
| | |
| ieee80211_if_add() |
| | |
As evident from above sequence diagram, this race condition isn't specific
to a particular wifi driver but rather the initialization sequence in
ieee80211_register_hw() needs to be fixed. So re-order the initialization
sequence and the updated sequence diagram would look like:
user-space ieee80211_register_hw() ieee80211_tasklet_handler()
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

| alloc_ordered_workqueue() |

| Misc wiphy init. |

|-----iwd if_add---->| |
| |<---IRQ----(RX packet)

| ieee80211_if_add() |
