In TDLS (e.g., TDLS off-channel) there is a requirement for
some drivers to supply an unused TID between the AP and the
device to the FW, to allow sending PTI requests and to allow
the FW to aggregate on a specific TID for better throughput.
To ensure that the allocated TID is indeed unused, this patch
introduces an API for blocking the driver from TXing on that
TID.

For some TDLS channel switch implementations data frames need to be
sent by the firmware based on a template. This template should be
created by mac80211, and thus needs to properly be built from an
802.3 frame into an 802.11 frame. In addition, the device will need
the key information so the select_key handler needs to be run.
However, the driver/device will be responsible for all of the crypto
encapsulation, as the sequence numbers etc. cannot be built by the
host anyway in this case since it's a template to be used multiple
times.

Currently, when a roc period expires, the offchannel
timer calls ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired(), but
the roc state is cleared only when the queued work
to switch to the operating channel gets a chance to run.
This race is a problem because mac80211 can issue a
new roc request in this window. To avoid this, handle
roc completion in the offchannel timer itself.

In a GO/STA setup, when we switch to the STA context,
the channel context timer is scheduled with a period of
half the beacon interval. If a beacon is received in
this duration, the timer is adjusted to accommodate
TSF sync done by the HW.
But, if the actual channel switch is delayed for some
reason, we end up rearming the timer every time a new
beacon is received. Avoid this by doing the adjustment
only once.

2. After this driver whenever driver receives packet on direct link,
it would store rssi and timestamp in peer information.
3. Whenever a packet is to be transmitted to non-AP peer in station mode,
driver would check if TDLS link can be established by looking at peer RSSI
information. Driver would initiate TDLS setup in such cases.
4. Periodic timer is used for updating peer information.
