iwlmei needs to know about the follwing events:
* Association
* De-association
* Country Code change
* SW Rfkill change
* SAR table changes
iwlmei can take the device away from us, so report the new
rfkill type when this happens.
Advertise the required data from the CSME firmware to the
usersapce: mostly, the AP that the CSME firmware is currently
associated to in case there is an active link protection
session.
Generate the HOST_ASSOC / HOST_DISSASSOC messages.
Don't support WPA1 (non-RSNA) for now.
Don't support shared wep either.
We can then determine the AUTH parameter by checking the AKM.
Feed the cipher from the key installation.
SW Rfkill will be implemented later when cfg80211 will
allow us to read the SW Rfkill state.

Add three debugfs hooks:
* status: Check if we have a connection with the CSME
firwmare. This hook is a read only.
* req_ownership: Send a SAP command to request ownership. This
flow should be triggered by iwlwifi (from user space through
vendor commands really), but being able to trigger an ownership
request from debugfs allows us to request ownership without
connecting afterwards. This is an "error" flow that the CSME
firmware is designed to handle this way:
+ Grant ownership since the host asked for it
+ Wait 3 seconds to let the host connect
+ If the host didn't connect, take the device back (forcefully).
+ Don't grant any new ownership request in the following 30
seconds.
This debugfs hook allows us to test this flow.
* send_start_message: Restart the communication with the CSME
firmware from the very beginning. At the very beginning (upon
iwlwifi start), iwlmei send a special message: SAP_ME_MSG_START.
This hook allows to send it again and this will retrigger the
whole flow. It is important to test this restart in the middle
of normal operation since it can happen (in case the CSME
firmware decided to reset for example).

CSME in two words
-----------------
CSME stands for Converged Security and Management Engine. It is
a CPU on the chipset and runs a dedicated firmware.
AMT (Active Management Technology) is one of the applications
that run on that CPU. AMT allows to control the platform remotely.
Here is a partial list of the use cases:
* View the screen of the plaform, with keyboard and mouse (KVM)
* Attach a remote IDE device
* Have a serial console to the device
* Query the state of the platform
* Reset / shut down / boot the platform
Networking in CSME
------------------
For those uses cases, CSME's firmware has an embedded network
stack and is able to use the network devices of the system: LAN
and WLAN. This is thanks to the CSME's firmware WLAN driver.
One can add a profile (SSID / key / certificate) to the CSME's OS
and CSME will connect to that profile. Then, one can use the WLAN
link to access the applications that run on CSME (AMT is one of
them). Note that CSME is active during power state and power state
transitions. For example, it is possible to have a KVM session
open to the system while the system is rebooting and actually
configure the BIOS remotely over WLAN thanks to AMT.
How all this is related to Linux
--------------------------------
In Linux, there is a driver that allows the OS to talk to the
CSME firmware, this driver is drivers/misc/mei. This driver
advertises a bus that allows other kernel drivers or even user
space) to talk to components inside the CSME firmware.
In practice, the system advertises a PCI device that allows
to send / receive data to / from the CSME firmware. The mei
bus drivers in drivers/misc/mei is an abstration on top of
this PCI device.
The driver being added here is called iwlmei and talks to the
WLAN driver inside the CSME firmware through the mei bus driver.
Note that the mei bus driver only gives bus services, it doesn't
define the content of the communication.
Why do we need this driver?
--------------------------
CSME uses the same WLAN device that the OS is expecting to see
hence we need an arbitration mechanism. This is what iwlmei is
in charge of. iwlmei maintains the communication with the CSME
firmware's WLAN driver. The language / protocol that is used
between the CSME's firmware WLAN driver and iwlmei is OS agnostic
and is called SAP which stands for Software Abritration Protocol.
With SAP, iwlmei will be able to tell the CSME firmware's WLAN
driver:
1) Please give me the device.
2) Please note that the SW/HW rfkill state change.
3) Please note that I am now associated to X.
4) Please note that I received this packet.
etc...
There are messages that go the opposite direction as well:
1) Please note that AMT is en/disable.
2) Please note that I believe the OS is broken and hence I'll take
the device *now*, whether you like it or not, to make sure that
connectivity is preserved.
3) Please note that I am willing to give the device if the OS
needs it.
4) Please give me any packet that is sent on UDP / TCP on IP address
XX.XX.XX.XX and an port ZZ.
5) Please send this packet.
etc...
Please check drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mei/sap.h for the
full protocol specification.
Arbitration is not the only purpose of iwlmei and SAP. SAP also
allows to maintain the AMT's functionality even when the OS owns
the device. To connect to AMT, one needs to initiate an HTTP
connection to port 16992. iwlmei will listen to the Rx path and
forward (through SAP) to the CSME firmware the data it got. Then,
the embedded HTTP server in the chipset will reply to the request
and send a SAP notification to ask iwlmei to send the reply.
This way, AMT running on the CSME can still work.
In practice this means that all the use cases quoted above (KVM,
remote IDE device, etc...) will work even when the OS uses the
WLAN device.
How to disable all this?
---------------------------
iwlmei won't be able to do anything if the CSME's networking stack
is not enabled. By default, CSME's networking stack is disabled (this
is a BIOS setting).
In case the CSME's networking stack is disabled, iwlwifi will just
get access to the device because there is no contention with any other
actor and, hence, no arbitration is needed.
In this patch, I only add the iwlmei driver. Integration with
iwlwifi will be implemented in the next one.

v2: fix a few warnings raised by the different bots
v3: rewrite the commit message
v4: put the debugfs content in a different patch
v5: fix a NULL pointer dereference upon DHCP TX if SAP is connected
since we now have the required cfg80211 bits in wl-drv-next, add
the RFKILL handling patch to this series.
v6: change the SAP API to inherit the values from iwl-mei.h removing
the need to ensure the values are equal with a BUILD_BUG_ON.
This was suggested by Arend
v7: * fix a locking issue in case of CSME firmware reset:
When the CSME firmware resets, we need to unregister the
netdev, first take the mutex, and only then, rely on it
being taken.
* Add a comment to explain why it is ok to have static variables
(iwlmei can't have more than a single instance).
* Add a define for 26 + 8 + 8
* Add a define SEND_SAP_MAX_WAIT_ITERATION
* make struct const
* Reword a bit the Kconfig help message
* Ayala added her Signed-off

The firmware of the 88W8897 PCIe+USB card sends those events very
unreliably, sometimes bluetooth together with 2.4ghz-wifi is used and no
COEX event comes in, and sometimes bluetooth is disabled but the
coexistance mode doesn't get disabled.
This means we sometimes end up capping the rx/tx window size while
bluetooth is not enabled anymore, artifically limiting wifi speeds even
though bluetooth is not being used.
Since we can't fix the firmware, let's just ignore those events on the
88W8897 device. From some Wireshark capture sessions it seems that the
Windows driver also doesn't change the rx/tx window sizes when bluetooth
gets enabled or disabled, so this is fairly consistent with the Windows
driver.

The 88W8897 PCIe+USB card in the hardware revision 20 apparently has a
hardware issue where the card wakes up from deep sleep randomly and very
often, somewhat depending on the card activity, maybe the hardware has a
floating wakeup pin or something. This was found by comparing two MS
Surface Book 2 devices, where one devices wifi card experienced spurious
wakeups, while the other one didn't.
Those continuous wakeups prevent the card from entering host sleep when
the computer suspends. And because the host won't answer to events from
the card anymore while it's suspended, the firmwares internal power
saving state machine seems to get confused and the card can't sleep
anymore at all after that.
Since we can't work around that hardware bug in the firmware, let's
get the hardware revision string from the firmware and match it with
known bad revisions. Then disable auto deep sleep for those revisions,
which makes sure we no longer get those spurious wakeups.

The RF register array is used to help firmware to restore RF settings.
The original code can potentially access out of range, if the size is
between (RTW89_H2C_RF_PAGE_SIZE * RTW89_H2C_RF_PAGE_NUM + 1) to
((RTW89_H2C_RF_PAGE_SIZE + 1) * RTW89_H2C_RF_PAGE_NUM). Fortunately,
current used size doesn't fall into the wrong case, and the size will not
change if we don't update RF parameter.

ath11k
* enable 802.11 power save mode in station mode for qca6390 and wcn6855
* trace log support
* proper board file detection for WCN6855 based on PCI ids
* BSS color change support
The struct ath_hw member intr_txqs is never reset/assigned outside
of ath9k_hw_init_queues() and with the used bitwise-or in the interrupt
handling ar9002_hw_get_isr() accumulates all ever set interrupt flags.
Fix this by using a pure assign instead of bitwise-or for the
