If the driver advertises NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_SCAN_FREQ_KHZ
userspace can omit NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES in favor
of an NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQ_KHZ. To get scan results in
KHz userspace must also set the
NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_FREQ_KHZ.
This lets nl80211 remain compatible with older userspaces
while not requring and sending redundant (and potentially
incorrect) scan frequency sets.

cfg80211 recently gained the ability to understand a
frequency offset component in KHz. Expose this in nl80211
through the new attributes NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ_OFFSET,
NL80211_FREQUENCY_ATTR_OFFSET,
NL80211_ATTR_CENTER_FREQ1_OFFSET, and
NL80211_BSS_FREQUENCY_OFFSET.
These add support to send and receive a KHz offset
component with the following NL80211 commands:
- NL80211_CMD_FRAME
- NL80211_CMD_GET_SCAN
- NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE
- NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE
- NL80211_CMD_CONNECT
Along with any other command which takes a chandef, ie:
- NL80211_CMD_SET_CHANNEL
- NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY
- NL80211_CMD_START_AP
- NL80211_CMD_RADAR_DETECT
- NL80211_CMD_NOTIFY_RADAR
- NL80211_CMD_CHANNEL_SWITCH
- NL80211_JOIN_IBSS
- NL80211_CMD_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL
- NL80211_CMD_JOIN_OCB
- NL80211_CMD_JOIN_MESH
- NL80211_CMD_TDLS_CHANNEL_SWITCH
If the driver advertises a band containing channels with
frequency offset, it must also verify support for
frequency offset channels in its cfg80211 ops, or return
an error.

Current rule for applying TID configuration for specific peer looks overly
complicated. No need to reject new TID configuration when override flag is
specified. Another call with the same TID configuration, but without
override flag, allows to apply new configuration anyway.
Use the same approach as for the 'all peers' case: if override flag is
specified, then reset existing TID configuration and immediately
apply a new one.

Extend cfg80211_rx_unprot_mlme_mgmt() to cover indication of unprotected
Beacon frames in addition to the previously used Deauthentication and
Disassociation frames. The Beacon frame case is quite similar, but has
couple of exceptions: this is used both with fully unprotected and also
incorrectly protected frames and there is a rate limit on the events to
avoid unnecessary flooding netlink events in case something goes wrong.

Drivers that trigger roaming need to know the lifetime of the configured
PMKSA for deciding whether to trigger the full or PMKSA cache based
authentication. The configured PMKSA is invalid after the PMK lifetime
has expired and must not be used after that and the STA needs to
disassociate if the PMK expires. Hence the STA is expected to refresh
the PMK with a full authentication before this happens (e.g., when
reassociating to a new BSS the next time or by performing EAPOL
reauthentication depending on the AKM) to avoid unnecessary
disconnection.
The PMK reauthentication threshold is the percentage of the PMK lifetime
value and indicates to the driver to trigger a full authentication roam
(without PMKSA caching) after the reauthentication threshold time, but
before the PMK timer has expired. Authentication methods like SAE need
to be able to generate a new PMKSA entry without having to force a
disconnection after this threshold timeout. If no roaming occurs between
the reauthentication threshold time and PMK lifetime expiration,
disassociation is still forced.
The new attributes for providing these values correspond to the dot11
MIB variables dot11RSNAConfigPMKLifetime and
dot11RSNAConfigPMKReauthThreshold.
This type of functionality is already available in cases where user
space component is in control of roaming. This commit extends that same
capability into cases where parts or all of this functionality is
offloaded to the driver.

Sometimes, userspace is able to detect that a peer silently lost its
state (like, if the peer reboots). wpa_supplicant does this for IBSS-RSN
by registering for auth/deauth frames, but when it detects this, it is
only able to remove the encryption keys of the peer and close its port.
However, the kernel also hold other state about the station, such as BA
sessions, probe response parameters and the like. They also need to be
resetted correctly.
This patch adds the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_DEL_IBSS_STA feature flag
indicating the driver accepts deleting stations in IBSS mode, which
should send a deauth and reset the state of the station, just like in
mesh point mode.

If the nl80211 control port is used before this patch, pre-auth frames
(0x88c7) are send to userspace uncoditionally. While this enables userspace
to only use nl80211 on the station side, it is not always useful for APs.
Furthermore, pre-auth frames are ordinary data frames and not related to
the control port. Therefore it should for example be possible for pre-auth
frames to be bridged onto a wired network on AP side without touching
userspace.
For backwards compatibility to code already using pre-auth over nl80211,
this patch adds a feature flag to disable this behavior, while it remains
enabled by default. An additional ext. feature flag is added to detect this
from userspace.
Thanks to Jouni for pointing out, that pre-auth frames should be handled as
ordinary data frames.

Make some changes to the TID-config API:
* use u16 in nl80211 (only, and restrict to using 8 bits for now),
to avoid issues in the future if we ever want to use higher TIDs.
* reject empty TIDs mask (via netlink policy)
* change feature advertising to not use extended feature flags but
have own mechanism for this, which simplifies the code
* fix all variable names from 'tid' to 'tids' since it's a mask
* change to cfg80211_ name prefixes, not ieee80211_
* fix some minor docs/spelling things.

IEEE P802.11-REVmd/D3.0 adds support for protecting Beacon frames using
a new set of keys (BIGTK; key index 6..7) similarly to the way
group-addressed Robust Management frames are protected (IGTK; key index
4..5). Extend cfg80211 and nl80211 to allow the new BIGTK to be
configured. Add an extended feature flag to indicate driver support for
the new key index values to avoid array overflows in driver
implementations and also to indicate to user space when this
functionality is available.
