When a directed tim bit is set, mac80211 currently disables power save
ands sends a null frame to the AP. But if dynamic power save is
disabled, mac80211 will not enable power save ever gain. Fix this by
adding ps-poll functionality to mac80211. When a directed tim bit is
set, mac80211 sends a ps-poll frame to the AP and checks for the more
data bit in the returned data frames.
Using ps-poll is slower than waking up with null frame, but it's saves more
power in cases where the traffic is low. Userspace can control if either
ps-poll or null wakeup method is used by enabling and disabling dynamic
power save.

Giving the signal in dB isn't much more useful to userspace
than giving the signal in unspecified units. This removes
some radiotap information for zd1211 (the only driver using
this flag), but it helps a lot for getting cfg80211-based
scanning which won't support dB, and zd1211 being dB is a
little fishy anyway.

Not all drivers are capable of passing properly aligned frames,
in particular with mesh networking no hardware will support
completely aligning it correctly.
This patch adds code to align the data payload to a 4-byte

Since we do not currently report HT rates (MCS index) in radiotap
header for HT rates, we should not claim the rate is present. The rate
octet itself is used as padding in this case, so only the it_present
flag needs to be removed in case of HT rates.

This patch is necessary in order to provide a proper Access point support for p54.
Unfortunately for us, there is no documented way to disable the interfering

Therefore we give in and notify the driver through our new sta_notify_ps callback,

When a station goes to PS mode to scan, it will then send
probe requests without the PS bit set. mac80211 will take
that as indication that the station woke up, but it didn't.
This patch changes mac80211 to only consider doze->wake
transitions on data frames to to fix that issue.

Wireless HW without any dedicated queues for aggregation
do not need the ampdu_queues mechanism present right now
in mac80211. Since mac80211 is still incomplete wrt TX MQ
changes, do not allow aggregation sessions for drivers that
set ampdu_queues.
This is only an interim hack until Intel fixes the requeue issue.

older versions of gcc do not recognize that ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding()
is unused when CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is disabled:
net/built-in.o: In function `ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding':
rx.c:(.text+0xd89af): undefined reference to `mpp_path_lookup'
rx.c:(.text+0xd89c6): undefined reference to `mpp_path_add'
as this code construct:
if (ieee80211_vif_is_mesh(&sdata->vif))
CALL_RXH(ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding);
still causes ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding() to be linked in.
Protect these places with an #ifdef.

When CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=n and CONFIG_MAC80211_NOINLINE=y,
gcc doesn't optimize out a call to ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding,
even if the previous comparison is always false in this case.
This leads to the following errors during modpost:
ERROR: "mpp_path_lookup" [net/mac80211/mac80211.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "mpp_path_add" [net/mac80211/mac80211.ko] undefined!

When I split off the action frame handling I made the code drop
all action frames we don't want to handle. This is wrong since
some action frames are actually handled via rx_h_mgmt through
being queued to the sta/mesh implementations.

There's no need to register the master netdev with cfg80211,
in fact, this is quite dangerous and lead to having to add
checks for the master interface all over the config handlers.
This patch removes the "ieee80211_ptr" from the master iface
in favour of having a small netdev_priv() associated with
the master interface that stores the ieee80211_local pointer.
Because of this, a lot of code in the configuration handlers
can go away. To make this patch easier to verify I have also
removed a number of wiphy_priv() calls in favour of getting
the sdata first and then the local pointer from that.
