The user is allowed to change beacon tx rate (HT/VHT/HE) from hostapd.
This information needs to be passed to the driver when the rate control
is offloaded to the firmware. The driver capability of allowing beacon
rate is already validated in cfg80211, so simply passing the rate
information to the driver is enough.

last_rate is initialized to zero by sta_info_alloc(), but
this indicates legacy bitrate for the last TX rate (and
invalid for the last RX rate). To avoid a warning when
decoding the last rate as legacy (before a data frame
has been sent), initialize them as S1G MCS.

Even though a driver or mac80211 shouldn't produce a
legacy bitrate if sband->bitrates doesn't exist, don't
crash if that is the case either.
This fixes a kernel panic if station dump is run before
last_rate can be updated with a data frame when
sband->bitrates is missing (eg. in S1G bands).

In ieee80211_determine_chantype(), the sband->ht_cap was
being processed before S1G Operation element. Since the
HT capability element should not be present on the S1G
band, avoid processing potential garbage by moving the
call to ieee80211_apply_htcap_overrides() to after the S1G
block.
Also, in case of a missing S1G Operation element, we would
continue trying to process non-S1G elements (and return
with a channel width of 20MHz). Instead, just assume
primary channel is equal to operating and infer the
operating width from the BSS channel, then return.

Allow drivers to request that interface-iterator does NOT iterate
over interfaces that are not sdata-in-driver. This will allow
us to fix crashes in ath10k (and possibly other drivers).
To summarize Johannes' explanation:
Consider
add interface wlan0
add interface wlan1
iterate active interfaces -> wlan0 wlan1
add interface wlan2
iterate active interfaces -> wlan0 wlan1 wlan2
If you apply this scenario to a restart, which ought to be functionally
equivalent to the normal startup, just compressed in time, you're
basically saying that today you get
add interface wlan0
add interface wlan1
iterate active interfaces -> wlan0 wlan1 wlan2 << problem here
add interface wlan2
iterate active interfaces -> wlan0 wlan1 wlan2
which yeah, totally seems wrong.
But fixing that to be
add interface wlan0
add interface wlan1
iterate active interfaces ->
<nothing>
add interface wlan2
iterate active interfaces -> <nothing>
(or
maybe -> wlan0 wlan1 wlan2 if the reconfig already completed)
This is also at least somewhat wrong, but better to not iterate
over something that exists in the driver than iterate over something
that does not. Originally the first issue was causing crashes in
testing with lots of station vdevs on an ath10k radio, combined
with firmware crashing.
I ran with a similar patch for years with no obvious bad results,
including significant testing with ath9k and ath10k.

S1G doesn't have legacy (sband->bitrates) rates, only MCS.
For now, just send a frame at MCS 0 if a low rate is
requested. Note we also redefine (since we're out of TX
flags) TX_RC_VHT_MCS as TX_RC_S1G_MCS to indicate an S1G
MCS. This is probably OK as VHT MCS is not valid on S1G
band and vice versa.

Because we can miss AP wakeup (beacon) while scanning other channels,
it's better go into wakeup state and inform the AP of that upon
returning to the operating channel, rather than staying asleep and
waiting for the next TIM indicating traffic for us.
This saves precious time, especially when we only have 200ms inter-
scan period for monitoring the active connection.

The current API (which lets the driver turn on/off per vif directly) has a
number of limitations:
- it does not deal with AP_VLAN
- conditions for enabling (no tkip, no monitor) are only checked at
add_interface time
- no way to indicate 4-addr support
In order to address this, store offload flags in struct ieee80211_vif
(easy to extend for decap offload later). mac80211 initially sets the enable
flag, but gives the driver a chance to modify it before its settings are
applied. In addition to the .add_interface op, a .update_vif_offload op is
introduced, which can be used for runtime changes.
If a driver can't disable encap offload at runtime, or if it has some extra
limitations, it can simply override the flags within those ops.
Support for encap offload with 4-address mode interfaces can be enabled
by setting a flag from .add_interface or .update_vif_offload.

For higher data rates, allow larger estimated aggregation sizes, and add some

Since small packets with high data rates can now lead to duration values too
small for info->tx_time_est, return a minimum of 4us.

When running a large number of packets per second with a high data rate
and long A-MPDUs, the packet loss threshold can be reached very quickly
when the link conditions change. This frequently shows up as spurious
disconnects.
Mitigate false positives by using a similar logic for regular stations
as the one being used for TDLS, though with a more aggressive timeout.
Packet loss events are only reported if no ACK was received for a second.
