With scan channel gap when any station/AP is active, FW comes back
to connected channel for any pending data transfter after scanning each
channel.
We set scan channel gap TLV to FW in scan command when any of the
interface is active. This enables scan channel gap in FW.
Also when scan channel gap is enabled, we would scan maximum channels
allowed by FW.
Scan channel gap is supported only on FW with V15 FW API.

Coalesce filters are configured in firmware based on settings
received from cfg80211.
Packet type which is required by firmware is determined based on
provided patterns in a rule:
Unicast: if pattern '01' with offset 0 is found
Multicast: if pattern '33:33' or '01:00:5e' with offset 0 is found
Broadcast: if pattern 'ff:ff:ff:ff' with offset 0 is found
Some example coalesce configuration files:
1) Coalesce Rx data packets from 192.168.0.88
mac address of our device is 00:50:43:21:53:7A
Source IP address offset comes out as 52 after following
calculations:
32 bytes of HW 802.11 header + 8 bytes LLC +
12 bytes in IPV4 header till source IP address
Destination mac is at offset 6 in HW header.
delay=100
condition=1
patterns=01,6+00:50:43:22,10+53:7A,52+c0:a8:00:58
2) Coalesce all broadcast and multicast packets(Multiple packet
types are not allowed in a single rule. Hence created separate
rules)
