There was recently a Full AP mode feature added where hostap adds
the station at auth stage, and not assoc.
However, when running with legacy hostapd, we get the auth response
before station was added, and tx_skb_non_sta fails to allocate
a queue, resulting in a complete failure of association.
Take care of this situation as well.
Add a warning when no valid queue is returned at all and make mvm
drop the packet instead of passing it on.
Refactor the function a bit while at it.

In iwl_mvm_rx_tx_cmd_single(), when checking if a given TID is
aggregated, the driver doesn't check whether or not the queue
itself can be aggregated. For example, a management queue might
be marked as aggregated if TID 0 is aggregated on a (different)
data queue.
Make sure that mgmt frames are sent with TID IWL_TID_NON_QOS,
and in this way make sure no mixups of this sort happen.

Off-channel action frames (such as ANQP frames) must be sent either on
the AUX queue or on the offchannel queue, otherwise the firmware will
cause a SYSASSERT.
In the current implementation, the queue to be used is correctly set in
the original skb, but this is done after it is copied. Thus the copy
remains with the original, incorrect queue.
Fix this by setting the queue in the original skb before copying it.

Fix an issue where nullfunc frames and block ack requests
had the same tid as aggregation frames and were queued on
a non aggregation queue. The pending frames counter included
those frames but the check whether to decrement the pending
frames counter relied on the tid status and not on the txq id.
The result was an inconsistent state of the pending frames
counter followed by a failure to remove the station.
This failure triggered SYSASSERT 0x3421.
In addition, fix a situation in DQA mode where the number
of pending frames turned negative. This was due to the TX queue
being on the IWL_EMPTYING_HW_QUEUE_DELBA state and its frames
were still decremented.
Even though the SYSASSERT issue is fixed when DQA is disabled,
the issue is not completely solved when DQA is enabled and
should still be fixed.

The TSO code creates A-MSDUs from a single large send. Each
A-MSDU is an skb and skb->len doesn't include the number of
bytes which need to be added for the headers being added
(subframe header, TCP header, IP header, SNAP, padding).
To be able to set the right value in the Tx command, we
put the number of bytes added by those headers in
driver_data in iwl_mvm_tx_tso and use this value in
iwl_mvm_set_tx_cmd.
The problem by setting this value in driver_data is that
it overrides the ieee80211_tx_info. The bug manifested
itself when we send P2P related frames in CCK since the
rate in ieee80211_tx_info is zero-ed. This of course is
a violation of the P2P specification.
To fix this, copy the original ieee80211_tx_info to the
stack and pass it to the functions which need it.
Assign the number of bytes added by the headers to the
driver_data inside the skb itself.

"DQA" is shorthand for "dynamic queue allocation". This
enables on-demand allocation of queues per RA/TID rather than
statically allocating per vif, thus allowing a potential
benefit of various factors.
Please refer to the DOC section this patch adds to sta.h to
see a more in-depth explanation of this feature.
There are many things to take into consideration when working
in DQA mode, and this patch is only one in a series. Note that
default operation mode is non-DQA mode, unless the FW
indicates that it supports DQA mode.
This patch enables support of DQA for a station connected to
an AP, and works in a non-aggregated mode.
When a frame for an unused RA/TID arrives at the driver, it
isn't TXed immediately, but deferred first until a suitable
queue is first allocated for it, and then TXed by a worker
that both allocates the queues and TXes deferred traffic.
When a STA is removed, its queues goes back into the queue
pools for reuse as needed.

We need to track the next packet that we will reclaim in
order to know when the Tx queues are empty. This is useful
when we open or tear down an A-MPDU session which requires
to switch queue.
The next packet being reclaimed is identified by its WiFi
sequence number and this is relevant only when we use QoS.
QoS NDPs do have a TID but have a meaningless sequence
number. The spec mandates the receiver to ignore the
sequence number in this case, allowing the transmitter to
put any sequence number. Our implementation leaves it 0.
When we reclaim a QoS NDP, we can't update the next_relcaim
counter since the sequence number of the QoS NDP itself is
invalid.
We used to update the next_reclaim based on the sequence
number of the QoS NDP which reset it to 1 (0 + 1) and
because of this, we never knew when the queue got empty.
This had to sad consequence to stuck the A-MPDU state
machine in a transient state.
To fix this, don't update next_reclaim when we reclaim
a QoS NDP.
Alesya saw this bug when testing u-APSD. Because the
A-MPDU state machine was stuck in EMPTYING_DELBA, we
updated mac80211 that we still have frames for that
station when it got back to sleep. mac80211 then wrongly
set the TIM bit in the beacon and requested to release
non-existent frames from the A-MPDU queue. This led to
a situation where the client was trying to poll frames
but we had no frames to send.

These are a few fixes for the current cycle.
3 out of the 5 patches fix a bugzilla.
* fix a race that users reported when we try to load the firmware
and the hardware rfkill interrupt triggers at the same time.
* Luca fixes a very visible bug in scheduled scan: our firmware
doesn't support scheduled scan with no profile configured and
the supplicant sometimes requests such scheduled scans.
* build system fix
* firmware name update for 8265
* typo fix in return value
If protocol offloading is configured, the fw might generate some
frames (e.g. arp response) on its own during d3/d0i3.
On d3/d0i3 exit the driver queries the updated PN (if relevant),
and updates its keys (for the d0i3 case, this is done by
iwl_mvm_d0i3_exit_work(), which is scheduled on d0i3 exit)
While in d0i3, iwlmvm defers tx frames until d0i3 exit, and
then continues their processing.
This is problematic with TKIP, since the frame's PN has already
been set at this stage (in contrast to CCMP, where the PN is
being set only later on), so both the frame's PN and the upcoming
PN update (from d0i3 exit work) might be wrong.
Fix it by moving the TX PN assignment (for TKIP) to the driver,
similarly to CCMP.

Until this patch, when TXing non-sta the pending_frames counter
wasn't increased, but it WAS decreased in
iwl_mvm_rx_tx_cmd_single(), what makes it negative in certain
conditions. This in turn caused much trouble when we need to
remove the station since we won't be waiting forever until
pending_frames gets 0. In certain cases, we were exhausting
the station table even in BSS mode, because we had a lot of
stale stations.
Increase the counter also in iwl_mvm_tx_skb_non_sta() after a
successful TX to avoid this outcome.

FW behaviour changed and now updates driver about the used TPC
reduction in the following cases:
1. In tx response, which is used mostly for a single frame case
2. In BA notification
When tx aggregation fails with the initial rate, FW will send
to the driver BA notification and will try to transmit with the
next rate, but this time without tx power reduction. Thus, in case
of a failure with the initial rate, driver will get two BA notifications,
the first one with reduced tx power as in the LQ command and the second
one with 0 power reduction.
This patch adapts the TPC statistics according to the description above:
1. Use BA notifications instead of Tx response
2. For TPC only, drop the optimization which considers empty BA as one
MPDU. The reason is that with TPC we want to recover very quickly from
a bad power reduction and, therefore we'd like the success ratio to get
an immediate hit when failing to get a BA, so we'd switch back to a
lower or zero power reduction
