ath6kl: rework scheduled scan
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.

Since cfg80211 issues user wow filters on a per-wiphy basis, set any

Starting WoW in firmware and setting host sleep mode is still handled on

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

As of now the ANI cycle is executed only when the chip is awake.
On idle state case, the station wakes up from network sleep for
beacon reception. Since most of the time, ANI cycle is not syncing
with beacon wakeup, ANI cycle is ignored. Approx 5 mins once, the
calibration is performed. This could affect the connection stability
when the station is idle for long. Even though the OFDM and CCK phy
error rates are too high, ANI is unable to tune its immunity level
as quick enough due to rare execution.
Here the experiment shows that OFDM and CCK levels are at default
even on higher phy error rate.
This change ensures that ANI calibration will be exectued atleast
once for every 10 seconds. The below result shows improvements and
immunity levels are adopted quick enough.
This patch changes the way the driver deals with
command responses and traps which are sent through
the special interrupt input endpoint 3.
While the carl9170 firmware does not use this
endpoint for command responses or traps, the
firmware loader on the device does. It uses it
to notify the host about 'watchdog triggered'
in case the firmware/hardware has crashed.
Note:
Even without this patch, the driver is still
able to detect the mishap and reset the device.
But previously it did that because the trap
event caused an out-of-order message sequence
number error, which also triggered a reset.

mac80211: Notify new IBSS network creation
Initialization of beacon transmission in IBSS mode depends
on whether a new BSS is being created or joined. When joining
an existing IBSS network, beaconing has to start only after
a TSF-sync has happened - this is explained in 11.1.4.
Introduce a new parameter in the BSS information structure to
indicate creator/joiner mode.

cfg80211: add support for flushing old scan results
Add an NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_FLUSH flag that causes old bss cache
entries to be flushed on scan completion. This is useful for
collecting guaranteed fresh scan/survey result (e.g. on resume).
For normal scan, flushing only happens on successful completion
of a scan; i.e. it does not happen if the scan is aborted.
For scheduled scan, previous scan results are flushed everytime
when we get new scan results.
This feature is enabled by default. Drivers can disable it by
unsetting the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_FLUSH flag.

wireless: use OR operation to set wiphy features
The next patch will introduce a flag that is set
by default in cfg80211 so drivers and mac80211
need to use |= to set features they have so that
they don't clear the already-set feature.
We could set the flag in wiphy_register() instead
of wiphy_new() to avoid this patch, but then the
drivers couldn't *unset* flags they don't want to
use even though the implementation is generic.

mac80211: connect with HT20 if HT40 is not permitted
Some changes to fix issues with HT40 APs in Korea
and follow-up changes to allow using HT40 even if
the local regulatory database disallows it caused
issues with iwlwifi (and could cause issues with
other devices); iwlwifi firmware would assert if
you tried to connect to an AP that has an invalid
configuration (e.g. using HT40- on channel 140.)
Fix this, while avoiding the "Korean AP" issue by
disabling HT40 and advertising HT20 to the AP
when connecting.
ieee80211_sta_expire will be called by both IBSS and mesh
interfaces to account for inactive stations, so it would be more

On each channel that the device is operating on, it

this ability (before, it was available as the SMPS

To achieve this, track the chains and SMPS mode used

use the new channel context infrastructure in
all mac80211 code.
This enables drivers that want to use the new
channel context infrastructure to use multiple

the other drivers that don't support it.
Right now this disables both TX power settings
and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need
to be re-enabled on a channel context basis.
Additionally, when channel contexts are used
drop the connection when channel switch is
received rather than trying to handle it. This
will have to be improved later.
