When mac80211 wants to ensure that a frame is sent, it calls
the flush() callback. Until now, iwldvm implemented this by
waiting that all the frames are sent (ACKed or timeout).
In case of weak signal, this can take a significant amount
of time, delaying the next connection (in case of roaming).
Many users have reported that the flush would take too long
leading to the following error messages to be printed:
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: fail to flush all tx fifo queues Q 2
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Current SW read_ptr 161 write_ptr 201
iwl data: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 fe ff 01 00 00 00 00 00
[snip]
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: FH TRBs(0) = 0x00000000
[snip]
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Q 0 is active and mapped to fifo 3 ra_tid 0x0000 [9,9]
[snip]
Instead of waiting for these packets, simply drop them. This
significantly improves the responsiveness of the network.
Note that all the queues are flushed, but the VO one. This
is not typically used by the applications and it likely
contains management frames that are useful for connection
or roaming.

For testing the D3 (WoWLAN) firmware, it is useful to be able
to run the firmware with instrumentation while the host isn't
sleeping and can poke at the firmware debug logging etc.
Implement this by a debugfs file. When the file is opened the
D3 firmware is loaded and all regular commands are blocked.
While the file is being read, poll the firmware's PME status
flag and report EOF once it changes to non-zero. When it is
closed, do (most of) the resume processing. This lets a user
just "cat" the file. Pressing Ctrl-C to kill the cat process
will resume the firwmare as though the platform resumed for
non-wireless reason and when the firmware wants to wake up
reading from the file automatically completes.
Unlike in real suspend, only disable interrupts and don't
reset the TX/RX hardware while in the test mode. This is a
workaround for some interrupt problems that happen only when
the PCIe link isn't fully reset (presumably by changing the
PCI config space registers which the core PCI code does.)
Note that while regular operations are blocked from sending
commands to the firmware, they could still be made and cause
strange mac80211 issues. Therefore, while using this testing
feature you need to be careful to not try to disconnect, roam
or similar, and will see warnings for such attempts.
Als note that this requires an upcoming firmware change to
tell the driver the location of the PME status flag in SRAM.
D3 test will fail if the firmware doesn't report the pointer.

Add support for the secondary channel offset IE in channel
switch announcements. This is necessary for proper handling

For this to work it is also necessary to convert everything
here to use chandef structs instead of just channels. The
driver updates aren't really correct though. In particular,
the TI wl18xx driver update can't possibly be right since
it just ignores the new channel width for lack of firmware

Until now we didn't handle properly the FLUSH ampdu action
coming from mac80211. This could result in SCD queue leak:
mac80211 would STOP_FLUSH an AMPDU Tx session and remove
the station. If we had still packets on the ring, we
wouldn't deallocate the SCD queue and wait for it to be
empty.
The indication of the queue being empty comes from the Tx
response flow which relies on the tid_data structure. The
problem is that this structure has been cleared when the
station has been removed.
In order to solve this issue, block in the STOP_FLUSH
ampdu_action until the SCD queue is flushed, and only then,
let mac80211 move forward to remove the station.
iwlagn_txfifo_flush had to be enhanced to allow this.
The bug fixed here caused the "txq_id mismatch: 12 0" print.

Note that this is tricky: a firmware bug (that has
been fixed in later versions) means that the status
command response isn't properly closed in hardware
and thus won't arrive at the host. Sending another
command after it closes the status response but the
next command gets stuck, etc. We reset the device
after querying though, so this is not a big issue,

Currently, when the driver requires the DTIM period,
mac80211 will wait to hear a beacon before association.
This behavior is suboptimal since some drivers may be
able to deal with knowing the DTIM period after the
association, if they get it at all.
To address this, notify the drivers with bss_info_changed
with the new BSS_CHANGED_DTIM_PERIOD flag when the DTIM
becomes known. This might be when changing to associated,
or later when the entire association was done with only
probe response information.
Rename the hardware flag for the current behaviour to
IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC to more accurately
reflect its behaviour. IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_PERIOD is
no longer accurate as all drivers get the DTIM period
