For some TDLS channel switch implementations data frames need to be
sent by the firmware based on a template. This template should be
created by mac80211, and thus needs to properly be built from an
802.3 frame into an 802.11 frame. In addition, the device will need
the key information so the select_key handler needs to be run.
However, the driver/device will be responsible for all of the crypto
encapsulation, as the sequence numbers etc. cannot be built by the
host anyway in this case since it's a template to be used multiple
times.

Instead of passing the band as a parameter to ieee80211_xmit()
and ieee80211_tx(), move it outside of the two functions while
making sure info->band is set up before calling them.
This removes the parameter and simplifies the follow commit.

Since the TDLS peer station might not receive the teardown
packet (e.g., when in PS), this makes sure the packet is
retransmitted - this time through the AP - if the TDLS peer
didn't ACK the packet.

Currently, when a roc period expires, the offchannel
timer calls ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired(), but
the roc state is cleared only when the queued work
to switch to the operating channel gets a chance to run.
This race is a problem because mac80211 can issue a
new roc request in this window. To avoid this, handle
roc completion in the offchannel timer itself.

In a GO/STA setup, when we switch to the STA context,
the channel context timer is scheduled with a period of
half the beacon interval. If a beacon is received in
this duration, the timer is adjusted to accommodate
TSF sync done by the HW.
But, if the actual channel switch is delayed for some
reason, we end up rearming the timer every time a new
beacon is received. Avoid this by doing the adjustment
only once.

If for some reason a beacon with a new NoA is
not sent out, then reset the mgd_prepare_tx flag.
Not doing this will result in a situation where
a GO will send a new NoA when it shouldn't.

This patch makes sure that pending roc/scan
operations are cancelled properly when a new
context is assigned/unassigned.
The flush_work() call to flush out any scheduled
channel context work is removed, instead, sc->mutex
is dropped to allow any pending work to get a chance
to complete by the channel scheduler. Also, increase
the timeout to allow a switch to an active GO.

When a pending roc or scan operation is cancelled,
the offchannel operation is cleared, but the offchannel
state in the main scheduler is not cleared. This causes
problems since an active GO will try to process a stale
offchannel request that was deferred earlier. Fix this
by clearing the state when there is no pending offchannel
(roc/scan) operation.

The base TSF is used for HW timers 0..7, but chips
in the AR9003 family and above can support more generic
timers. To use them, however, a second HW TSF needs to
be enabled. This patch allows usage of the extra
timers by starting the second TSF properly.
The extra set of HW timers is apparently also present
in AR9287, but we enable it only for the AR9003 family.

In secured mesh, the unicast mgmt frame is encrypted using
the same key that used for encrypting the unicast data frame.
This patch "ath9k_htc_firmware: fix the offset of CCMP header
for mesh data frame" applied to open-ath9k-htc-firmware allows
the ath9k_htc to be loaded without "nohwcrypt=1". Unfortunately,
this is not working and we still need CCMP encryption of
transmitted management frames to be done in software.
So this patch allows the software encryption for transmitted
management frame to be done in software but remain the hardware
decryption for received management frame.
This patch is tested with the following hardwares:
- TP-Link TL-WN821N v3 802.11n [Atheros AR7010+AR9287]
- AR9271 802.11n
and managed to work with peer mesh STA equipped with ath9k.

This patch adds auto TDLS support to mwifiex.
Auto TDLS functionality works as follows:
1. Whenever userspace application has triggered TDLS connection with
any peer, driver would store this peer mac address details in its database.
2. After this driver whenever driver receives packet on direct link,
it would store rssi and timestamp in peer information.
3. Whenever a packet is to be transmitted to non-AP peer in station mode,
driver would check if TDLS link can be established by looking at peer RSSI
information. Driver would initiate TDLS setup in such cases.
4. Periodic timer is used for updating peer information.
5. Auto TDLS peer list & timer are cleared during disconnection or driver unload.
