In the current minimum chandef code there's an issue in that the
recalculation can happen after rate control is initialized for a
station that has a wider bandwidth than the current chanctx, and
then rate control can immediately start using those higher rates
which could cause problems.
Observe that first of all that this problem is because we don't
take non-associated and non-uploaded stations into account. The
restriction to non-associated is quite pointless and is one of
the causes for the problem described above, since the rate init
will happen before the station is set to associated; no frames
could actually be sent until associated, but the rate table can
already contain higher rates and that might cause problems.
Also, rejecting non-uploaded stations is wrong, since the rate
control can select higher rates for those as well.
Secondly, it's then necessary to recalculate the minimal config
before initializing rate control, so that when rate control is
initialized, the higher rates are already available. This can be
done easily by adding the necessary function call in rate init.

Commit 5bcae31d9 (mac80211: implement multi-vif in-place reservations)
introduced ieee80211_vif_use_reserved_switch() with a counter variable
'i' that is set but not used. Compiling with W=1 gives the following
warning, fix it.
net/mac80211/chan.c: In function ‘ieee80211_vif_use_reserved_switch’:
net/mac80211/chan.c:1273:6: warning: variable ‘i’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
This is a harmless warning, and is only being fixed to reduce the
noise obtained with W=1 in the kernel.

This allows user space to start/stop NAN interface.
A NAN interface is like P2P device in a few aspects: it
doesn't have a netdev associated to it.
Add the new interface type and prevent operations that
can't be executed on NAN interface like scan.
Define several attributes that may be configured by user space
when starting NAN functionality (master preference and dual
band operation)

The min_def chanctx is affected not only by the current chandef, but
sometimes also by other stations on the vif. There's a valid scenario
where a TDLS peer can widen its BW, thereby causing the min_def
to increase.

The minimum chandef bandwidth calculation was done only in case
a new station was inserted (or when an existing station was removed).
However, it is possible that stations are inserted before they are
associated, e.g., when FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE is supported and user
space adds stations unassociated.
Fix this by calling ieee80211_recalc_min_chandef() whenever
a station transitions in/out the associated state, and only
consider station marked as associated.

Define a station chandef, to be used for wider-bw TDLS peers. When both
peers support the feature, upgrade the channel bandwidth to the maximum
allowed by both peers and regulatory. Currently widths up to 80MHz are
supported in the 5GHz band.
When a TDLS peer connects/disconnects recalculate the channel type of the
current chanctx.
Make the chanctx width calculation consider wider-bw TDLS peers and
similarly fix the max_required_bw calculation for the chanctx min_def.
Since the sta->bandwidth is calculated only later on, take
bss_conf.chandef.width as the minimal width for station interface.
Set the upgraded channel width in the VHT-operation set during TDLS setup.

When a vif starts using a reserved channel context (during CSA, for example)
the required chandef was recalculated, however it was never applied.
This could result in using chanctx with narrower width than actually
required. Fix this by calling ieee80211_change_chanctx with the recalculated
chandef. This both changes the chanctx's width and recalcs min_def.

In order to speed up mac80211's TX path, add the "fast-xmit" cache
that will cache the data frame 802.11 header and other data to be
able to build the frame more quickly. This cache is rebuilt when
external triggers imply changes, but a lot of the checks done per
packet today are simplified away to the check for the cache.
There's also a more detailed description in the code.

If ieee80211_vif_use_channel() fails, we have to clear
sdata->radar_required (which we might have just set).
Failing to do it results in stale radar_required field
which prevents starting new scan requests.

local->radar_detect_enabled should tell whether
radar_detect is enabled on any interface belonging
to local.
However, it's not getting updated correctly
in many cases (actually, when testing with hwsim
it's never been set, even when the dfs master
is beaconing).
Instead of handling all the corner cases
(e.g. channel switch), simply check whether
radar detection is enabled only when needed,
instead of caching the result.

When the channel switch has been made, a vif is now using
the channel context which was reserved. When that happens,
we need to update the channel context since its parameters
may change.
I hit a case in which I switched to a 40Mhz channel but the
reserved channel context was still on 20Mhz. The rate control
would try to send 40Mhz packets on a 20Mhz channel context and
that made iwlwifi's firmware unhappy.

Instead of keeping track of all those special cases where
VLAN interfaces have no bss_conf.chandef, just make sure
they have the same as the AP interface they belong to.
Among others, this fixes a crash getting a VLAN's channel
from userspace since a NULL channel is returned as a good
result (return value 0) for VLANs since the commit below.

This patch adds 802.11p OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode
support.
When communicating in OCB mode a mandatory wildcard BSSID
(48 '1' bits) is used.
The EDCA parameters handling function was changed to support
802.11p specific values.
The insertion of a newly discovered STAs is done in the similar way
as in the IBSS mode -- through the deferred insertion.
The OCB mode uses a periodic 'housekeeping task' for expiration of
disconnected STAs (in the similar manner as in the MESH mode).
New Kconfig option for verbose OCB debugging outputs is added.

This patch adds new iface type (NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB) representing
the OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode.
When establishing a connection to the network a cfg80211_join_ocb
function is called (particular nl80211_command is added as well).
A mandatory parameters during the ocb_join operation are 'center
frequency' and 'channel width (5/10 MHz)'.
Changes done in mac80211 are minimal possible required to avoid
many warnings (warning: enumeration value 'NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB'
not handled in switch) during compilation. Full functionality
(where needed) is added in the following patch.

When a device driver is unloaded local->interfaces
list is cleared. If there was more than 1
interface running and connected (bound to a
chanctx) then chantype recalc was called and it
ended up with compat being NULL causing a call
trace warning.
Warn if compat becomes NULL as a result of
incompatible bss_conf.chandef of interfaces bound
to a given channel context only.
The call trace looked like this:
