The NL80211_CMD_NEW_BEACON command is, in practice, requesting AP mode
operations to be started. Add new attributes to provide extra IEs
(e.g., WPS IE, P2P IE) for drivers that build Beacon, Probe Response,
and (Re)Association Response frames internally (likely in firmware).

This removes need from drivers to parse the beacon tail/head data
to figure out what crypto settings are to be used in AP mode in case
the Beacon and Probe Response frames are fully constructed in the
driver/firmware.

ath9k_hw_4k_get_eeprom() overrides the eeprom value for txgain if the
minor version is not 19 or above with a value of 0.
ar9002_hw_init_mode_gain_regs() relies on this information to
determine whether this is a high power wifi card or not. The override
caused the driver to always use the 'normal' power tables even for
high power devices if their minor version was not high enough. Thus
leading to reduced power output.
This isn't needed for the AR9285; the check originated with the
AR9280 setup code which requires the EEPROM version check.

When a PREQ or PREP is received from an intermediate node, it contains
useful information for path selection but it doesn't include the
originator's sequence number. Therefore, when updating the mesh path
to that intermediate node, we should not set the MESH_PATH_SN_VALID
flag. BUT, if the flag is set, it should not be unset as we might have
received a valid sequence number for that intermediate node in the past.
This issue was reported, fixed and tested by Ya Bo (游波) and Pedro

When user space SME/MLME (e.g., hostapd) is not used in AP mode, the

When toggle_irq is called for PCI devices to disable device interrupts
it used tasklet_disable to wait for a possibly running tasklet to finish.
However, on SMP systems the tasklet might still be scheduled on another CPU.
Instead, use tasklet_kill to ensure that all scheduled tasklets are finished
before returning from toggle_irq.
Furthermore, it was possible that a tasklet reenabled its interrupt even
though interrupts have been disabled already. Fix this by checking the
DEVICE_STATE_ENABLED_RADIO flag before reenabling single interrupts
during tasklet processing.
While at it also enable/kill the TBTT and PRETBTT tasklets in the
toggle_irq callback and only use tasklet_kill in stop_queue to wait
for a currently scheduled beacon update before returning.

Let us enable/disable interrupts based on reference count.
By doing this we can ensure that interrupts are never be
enabled in the middle of tasklet processing. Instead of
addressing corner cases like "ath9k: avoid enabling interrupts
while processing rx", this approach handles it in generic manner.
