0f19b41e22 mac80211: remove ARP filter enable/disable logic
Depending on the driver, having ARP filtering for
some addresses may be possible. Remove the logic
that tracks whether ARP filter is enabled or not
and give the driver the total number of addresses
instead of the length of the list so it can make
its own decision.

0c0280bd0b wireless: make the reg_notifier() void
The reg_notifier()'s return value need not be checked
as it is only supposed to do post regulatory work and
that should never fail. Any behaviour to regulatory
that needs to be considered before cfg80211 does work
to a driver should be specified by using the already
existing flags, the reg_notifier() just does post
processing should it find it needs to.

18b559d5db mac80211: split TX aggregation stop action
When TX aggregation is stopped, there are a few
different cases:
 - connection with the peer was dropped
 - session stop was requested locally
 - session stop was requested by the peer
 - connection was dropped while a session is stopping

The behaviour in these cases should be different, if
the connection is dropped then the driver should drop
all frames, otherwise the frames may continue to be
transmitted, aggregated in the case of a locally
requested session stop or unaggregated in the case of
the peer requesting session stop.

Split these different cases so that the driver can
act accordingly; however, treat local and remote stop
the same way and ask the driver to not send frames as
aggregated packets any more.

In the case of connection drop, the stop callback the
driver is otherwise supposed to call is no longer
required.

2e07d02828 wlcore: Always pass DMA-able buffers to mmc functions
Some of the mmc drivers initiate DMA transfers with buffers passed from
higher layers. This means that the driver shouldn't ever pass non
DMA-able buffers, such as ones that are unaligned, allocated on the
stack or static.

Fix a couple of calls to the mmc layer in which buffers which weren't
necessarily DMA-able were passed.

1c33db782d wlcore: use separate HW queue for each AC in each vif
Start using the new hw_queue mechanism in mac80211 and give each AC in
each vif its own hw_queue number. This allows us to stop an AC in a vif
independently from other vifs.

Change the Tx watermark handling functions to count packets per AC in
vif. From now on fast links should not be able to hurt the throughput
of slow links on the same AC but on different vifs.

Change internal queue mgmt functions to operate per vif, to support the
new Tx watermark granularity. Make the global versions of the queue
stop/start functions to use the global mac80211 API for queue mgmt. This
helps in situations where the driver currently doesn't know all the vifs
that reside in mac80211. Recovery is a good example for such a case.

f1626fd898 wlcore/wl18xx: change priority calculations for links
Update the 18xx FW status private part to include Tx related link
priorities. Introduce new HW ops to determine link priority per chip
family.

For 18xx the changes are:
- Suspended links are at most low priority and Tx for them is stopped
  beyond the suspend threshold.
- Active links now get their thresholds directly from FW
- There's a new "stop" threshold for active links, at which point a link
  stops receiving new packets.

Update the min 18xx FW version required to make sure suspended links
bitmap is advertised by the FW.

0e81047996 wlcore: improved Tx scheduling algorithm
Prioritize EDCA by choosing the AC before anything else. Use the
fast/slow link bitmap in FW to improve the scheduling algorithm for
the multi-link scenario.

Set packet thresholds to determine if a given link is high or low
priority according to its speed. A slow link will be given high priority
if the amount of packets queued for it in the FW is lower than the
slow-threshold. Similarly, a fast link will be given high priority if
the number of its packets queued in FW is smaller than the high-threshold.

The improved algorithm:
1. Choose optimal AC according to FW utilization
2. Traversing the VIFs in a round-robin fashion, try to choose a high
   priority link. Links are traversed in a round-robin fashion inside a
   VIF.
3. If no high priority links are found, choose the first non-empty
   (low priority) link found in the round robin.

Now add code to check for the firmware versions separately for each
firmware type.

b3ec9cf205 wl12xx: ignore some of the firmware version fields
The firmware type and the project number fields in the firmware
version number, cannot be checked as if they increase sequentially,
because the former is the firmware type and the latter is an internal
project number.  There's no guarantee that these numbers will remain
incremental, so use WLCORE_FW_VER_IGNORE.

af4e94c565 wlcore: change way of checking the firmware version
The firmwares version string contain 5 integers.  We used to consider
all the digits (except for the first one, which indicates the chip) as
linearly increasing version numbers.  This is not correct, because
some of the integers indicate type of firmware (eg. single-role
vs. multi-role) or the internal project it was created for.

Besides, this varies a bit from chip to chip, so we need to make the
firmware version checks more flexible (eg. allow the lower driver to
ignore some of the integers).  Additionally, we need to change the
code so that we only check for a linearly increasing number on the
fields where this actually makes sense.
