A race condition leading to a kernel crash is observed during invocation
of ieee80211_register_hw() on a dragonboard410c device having wcn36xx
driver built as a loadable module along with a wifi manager in user-space
waiting for a wifi device (wlanX) to be active.
Sequence diagram for a particular kernel crash scenario:

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:

The original patch didn't copy the ieee80211_is_data() condition
because on most drivers the management frames don't go through
this path. However, they do on iwlwifi/mvm, so we do need to keep
the condition here.

mac80211 used to check port authorization in the Data frame enqueue case
when going through start_xmit(). However, that authorization status may
change while the frame is waiting in a queue. Add a similar check in the
dequeue case to avoid sending previously accepted frames after
authorization change. This provides additional protection against
potential leaking of frames after a station has been disconnected and
the keys for it are being removed.

If we know that we have an encrypted link (based on having had
a key configured for TX in the past) then drop all data frames
in the key selection handler if there's no key anymore.
This fixes an issue with mac80211 internal TXQs - there we can
buffer frames for an encrypted link, but then if the key is no
longer there when they're dequeued, the frames are sent without
encryption. This happens if a station is disconnected while the
frames are still on the TXQ.
Detecting that a link should be encrypted based on a first key
having been configured for TX is fine as there are no use cases
for a connection going from with encryption to no encryption.
With extended key IDs, however, there is a case of having a key
configured for only decryption, so we can't just trigger this
behaviour on a key being configured.

Some of the drivers are not using channel context, but let the
stack to control/switch channels instead. For such cases, driver
can still remain on channel because the mac80211 stack actually
supports it.
The stack will check if the driver is using chan_ctx and has
ops->remain_on_channel been hooked. Otherwise it will start its
ROC work to remain on channel. So, even if the driver is not
using chan_ctx, the driver is still capable of doing remain on
channel.

Johannes Berg says:
====================
A few big new things:
* 802.11 frame encapsulation offload support
* more HE (802.11ax) support, including some for 6 GHz band
* powersave in hwsim, for better testing
Of course as usual there are various cleanups and small fixes.

Currently a mac80211 driver can only set the txq_limit when using
wake_tx_queue. Not all drivers use wake_tx_queue. This patch adds a new
element to wiphy allowing a driver to set a custom tx_queue_len and the
code that will apply it in case it is set. The current default is
1000 which is too low for ath11k when doing HE rates.

With multiple VIFS ath10k, and probably others, tries to find the
minimum txpower for all vifs and uses that when setting txpower in
the firmware.
If a second vif is added and starts to scan, it's txpower is not
initialized yet and it set to zero.
ath10k had a patch to ignore zero values, but then it is impossible
to actually set txpower to zero.
So, instead initialize the txpower to INT_MIN in mac80211, and let
drivers know that means the power has not been set and so should
be ignored.
This should fix regression in:

Before this patch, STA's would set new width of 160/80+80 MHz based on AP capability only.
This is wrong because STA may not support > 80MHz BW.
Fix is to verify STA has 160/80+80 MHz capability before increasing its width to > 80MHz.
The "support_80_80" and "support_160" setting is based on:
"Table 9-272 — Setting of the Supported Channel Width Set subfield and Extended NSS BW
Support subfield at a STA transmitting the VHT Capabilities Information field"

When using control port over nl80211 in AP mode with
pre-authentication, APs need to forward frames to other
APs defined by their MAC address. Before this patch,
pre-auth frames reaching user space over nl80211 control
port have no longer any information about the dest attached,
which can be used for forwarding to a controller or injecting
the frame back to a ethernet interface over a AF_PACKET
socket.
Analog problems exist, when forwarding pre-auth frames from
AP -> STA.
This patch therefore adds the NL80211_ATTR_DST_MAC and
NL80211_ATTR_SRC_MAC attributes to provide more context
information when forwarding.
The respective arguments are optional on tx and included on rx.
Therefore unaware existing software is not affected.
Software which wants to detect this feature, can do so
by checking against:

To support Pre Association Security Negotiation (PASN) while already
associated to one AP, allow user space to register to Rx
authentication frames, so that the user space logic would be able to
receive/handle authentication frames from a different AP as part of
PASN.
Note that it is expected that user space would intelligently register
for Rx authentication frames, i.e., only when PASN is used and
configure a match filter only for PASN authentication algorithm, as
otherwise the MLME functionality of mac80211 would be broken.
Additionally, since some versions of the user space daemons wrongly
register to all types of authentication frames (which might result in
unexpected behavior) allow such registration if the request is for a
specific authentication algorithm number.

In case of HE, the RX NSS is taken from the HE capabilities.
If the supported NSS capabilities that are reported by AP for
HE mode in the HE Capabilities element are different from the NSS
capabilities that are reported by AP for the VHT mode in the VHT
Capabilities element, use the lowest supported NSS to not get all
the values confused.

Check early on that a device has support for QoS (at least 4
queues) when it supports HT/VHT/HE, so we don't have to check
this while connecting.
This lets us clean up the code there: move some of it into
channel preparation to clean up a bit more, and then change
the logic to only check the "wmm_used" flag.
Additionally, disable HE consistently when VHT is disabled.
