Make use of the flex_array_size() helper to calculate the size of a
flexible array member within an enclosing structure.
This helper offers defense-in-depth against potential integer
overflows, while at the same time makes it explicitly clear that
we are dealing with a flexible array member.

The code has the functionality to insert the GPIO lines using
the global GPIO numbers through module parameters.
As we are clearly deprecating the use of global GPIO numbers
look up the GPIO descriptors from the device instead. This
usually falls back to device hardware descriptions using e.g.
device tree or ACPI. This device clearly supports device
tree when used over SPI for example.
For example, this can be supplied in the device tree like so:
wfx@0x01 {
compatible = "silabs,wf200";
reset-gpios = <&gpio0 1>;
wakeup-gpios = <&gpio0 2>;
};

When multiple interface on different channels are in use. It is
necessary to advertise the AP that the device is no more awake before to
switch to the other channel.
Until now, PS-Poll was the preferred mechanism for that. However. The
new firmwares (>= 3.7) now nicely support FastPS.
FastPS improves bandwidth and compatibility with AP.
This patch drop the complex and rarely used mechanism introduced in the
commit dd5eba1bb5 ("staging: wfx: fix support for AP that do not
support PS-Poll") and use FastPS as soon as it is possible.

In some advanced usage or debug scenarios, it could interesting to
change the value of ps_timeout or eventually to force use of PS-Poll
frames.
The wext API (used by iwconfig) provide a way to change ps_timeout.
However, this API is obsolete and it seems a little weird to use (it
seems it does apply the change, so the user have to disable then
re-enable de power save)
On side of nl80211, there is no way to change the ps_timeout.
This patch provides a file in debugfs to change the value of ps_timeout.

To enable the TKIP/CCMP replay protection, the frames has to be
processed in the right order. However, the device is not able to
re-order the frames during BlockAck sessions.
Mac80211 is able to reorder the frames, but it need the information
about the BlockAck sessions start and stop. Unfortunately, since the
BlockAck is fully handled by the hardware, these frames were not
forwarded to the host. So, if the driver ask to mac80211 to apply the
replay protection, it drop all misordered frames.
So, until now, the driver explicitly asked to mac80211 to not apply
the CCMP/TKIP replay protection.
The situation has changed with the API 3.4 of the device firmware. The
firmware forward the BlockAck information. Mac80211 is now able to
correctly reorder the frames. There is no more reasons to drop
cryptographic data.
This patch also impact the older firmwares. There will be a performance
impact on these firmware (since the misordered frames will dropped).
However, we can't keep the replay protection disabled.

It seems that in the old days, the RSSI information could be missing. In
this case, in order to not pollute the RSSI stats, the frame was
dropped (!).
It is far better to mark the frame with the flag RX_FLAG_NO_SIGNAL_VAL.
In add, the problem seems now fixed in the firmware (at least, it has
not been encountered with recent firmwares).

When a station go to sleep, the driver receive the status REQUEUE and
forward this answer to mac80211. So, neither the driver, neither the
hardware buffer the frames. So the call to ieee80211_sta_set_buffered is
useless.
In add, it seems that mac80211 does not expect to receive
ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(false) after the station is asleep(). When
the device send data to a station, the following sequence can be
observed:
- Mac80211 call wfx_sta_notify(awake).
- The driver calls ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(true). Since the
station is awake, its TIM is not set.
- Mac80211 receive a power save notification from the station, so it
calls wfx_sta_notify(asleep).
- Then, since the driver has declared it has buffered some frames,
the TIM of the station should be set. This action is delayed by
mac80211.
- The device also notice the station go to sleep. It replies the
REQUEUE status for the buffered frames. The driver forward this
status to mac80211.
- There is no more frames in queues, so the driver call
ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(false).
- Mac80211 updates the TIM but since there is no frames buffered by
the driver, it set the TIM for the station to 0.
Anyway, correctly use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() API solves the
problem.

The device is able to send multiple Tx confirmations in the one reply.
In this case, there is only one vif identifier for all the
confirmations.
Unfortunately, to generate this kind of messages the device squashes all
the confirmations whatever their vif ID and use the vif ID of the first
confirmation. So, the driver cannot rely on the vif ID mentioned in the
header. Fortunately, using the packet_id, the driver can retrieve the Tx
request and the associated vif.

The device handles 4 queues (one per AC) for each virtual interface (and
maximum 4 virtual interfaces). Until now the driver unified the queue of
all interfaces and handled only 4 queues for whole device.
This architecture did not allow to balance the traffic between the vif. So,
this patch relocate the queues into the vif and change the API accordingly.

The function hif_scan() return the timeout for the completion of the
scan request. It is the only function from hif_tx.c that return another
thing than just an error code. This behavior is not coherent with the
rest of file. Worse, if value returned is positive, the caller can't
make say if it is a timeout or the value returned by the hardware.
Uniformize API with other HIF functions, only return the error code and
pass timeout with parameters.

In order to work properly all the queues of the device must be filled (the
device chooses itself the queue to use depending of AC parameters and
other things). It is the job of wfx_tx_queues_get_skb() to choose which
queue must be filled. However, the sorting algorithm was inverted, so it
prioritized the already filled queue! Consequently, the AC priorities was
badly broken.

When a station is removed, the driver check that all the Tx frames were
correctly sent. However, the station can be removed before all the Tx
frames were acknowledged and a false positive warning can be emitted.
The previous commit has added a trace when driver received an
acknowledge for a non-existent station. It appear that these events
are perfectly correlated and there is no leak.
Now, the subject is perfectly understood. Remove the warning. Just keep
a debug trace in case we have any doubt in the future.
In the past, the subject has already been discussed here:

The function wfx_tx_flush() wait for there is no more queued frames in
hardware queue. Then, for the sanity, it checks that there is no more
pending frame on any AC queue.
However, there is a race here. It may happens that hardware queues are
empty, but the counters of the AC queues are not yet updated. So, it may
produce false-positive warning.
The easiest way to solve the problem is just to remove the sanity check.

When multiple vif are in use (= one access point and one station), and
when the channels are different, it is necessary to enable power save on
station.
The firmware check that steps are done in the correct order:
- AP can't start if PS is not enable on the station
- PS can't set on the station before the association has finished
(= before the call set_bss_params)
Obviously, in add, when one of the interface disappears, it is necessary to
restore the power save status.
wfx_update_pm() is able to set the correct PS configuration. But it has
to be called at the right time:
1. before hif_start(), but after the channel configuration is known
2. after hif_set_bss_params()
3. after hif_reset()
Therefore, the call to wfx_update_pm() from wfx_add_interface() is too
early to address 1.
The call after hif_set_bss_params() already exists.
For the symmetry, the call from wfx_remove_interface() (that handle 3.)
is also relocated.

The device disallows to start a scan request between hif_join() and
hif_set_bss_params(). The driver is not protected against that. The
worst case happens when association is aborted and hif_set_bss_params()
never happens.
mac80211 would never ask for scan during the association process. So,
this patch just aborts the association in progress when scan is
requested.

The function wfx_notify_buffered_tx() need to know if the frame was
associated to a station. This information is available in the Control
Buffer (CB) of the skb. However, when wfx_notify_buffered_tx() is
called, the CB is no more available. Thus, the caller has to take care
of this information.
wfx_notify_buffered_tx() is a specific case. All the other function are
called before the destruction of the CB. So, this patch align the API of
wfx_notify_buffered_tx() with the other functions. Call it before the CB
was destroyed and drop the extra argument 'has_sta'.
It is also the right time to rename it into wfx_tx_update_sta() (which
is closer to the behavior of the function).

The device does not answer to the command hif_shutdown. Therefore,
hif_shutdown() is a bit special. It bypasses some of work normally made
by wfx_cmd_send(). In particularly, it unlock hif_cmd.lock and
hif_cmd.key_renew_lock.
However, if the driver notice that the device is frozen, wfx_cmd_send()
stops to send data and doesn't lock the mutexes. Then, it produced a
warning when hif_shutdown() tried to unlock these mutexes.
