VHT Beamformer (BFER) will be used if the peer supports it
and there's a benefit to use it vs. STBC or SISO.
The driver now tells the FW whether BFER and/or STBC are
allowed but the FW will make the decision to use either
or stick to SISO on its own.
BFER is limited to a single remote peer. The driver takes
care of ensuring this to the FW and prioritizes with which
peer BFER will be used.

We don't really need to use different mac colors when adding mac
contexts, because they're not used anywhere. In fact, the firmware
doesn't accept 255 as a valid color, so we get into a SYSASSERT 0x3401
when we reach that.
Remove the color increment to use always zero and avoid reaching 255.

mac80211 will flush/drop the frames on the queues before

mac80211: let flush() drop packets when possible
This reverts commit 4e6c48e098.
In order to change the usage of U-APSD on the fly later,
move the enabling condition into a new function that is
called when authenticated.
This allows the module parameter to become writable, it
won't take effect immediately but at least on the next
association the new value will be used.

* fix network-manager which was broken by the previous changes
* fix delete-station events, which were broken by me making the
genlmsg_end() mistake
* fix a timer left running during suspend in some race conditions
that would cause an annoying (but harmless) warning
* (less important, but in the tree already) remove 80+80 MHz rate
reporting since the spec doesn't distinguish it from 160 MHz;
as the bitrate they're both 160 MHz bandwidth
When the FW is in error status - try to read the RXF and
TXF (all of them) and add them to the dump data.
This shouldn't happen in non-error statuses, as we don't
want to stop the RXF/TXF while they are running.

the total size is HW-fixed. Since the stack CCM (runtime

When another vif is also running during a channel switch, we need to
use a session protection when we move to the new channel, so that we
don't miss the beacons. Without this, sometimes the other vif
repeatedly gets time exactly when we should be hearing the beacons,
preventing channel switch from completing. Adding a session
protection that lasts from the moment the channel changes until 2
TBTTs later, ensures that we will hear the beacons on the destination
channel.

Instead of using a hardcoded number of TUs before beacon 0 as the time
to start the absence and actual channel switch, calculate it in

time to switch to the new channel before the AP/GO switches.

The spec requires to decrement the CSA counters based on TBTT,
regardless if the beacon was actually transmitted. Previously, the fw
would send beacon notifications only for successfully transmitted

to address this issue, the fw was changed to send beacon
notifications also for not transmitted beacons. Such notifications
have TX_STATUS_INTERNAL_ABORT (0x92).
Don't start the CSA countdown before first successfully transmitted
beacon, in order to guarantee that the CSA is announced for a
