c0c378f990 ath10k: remove target soc ps code
The soc powersave was disabled by default. It
never was fully tested. Some hw apparently had
problems with it and the implementation itself had
a possible race.

Just remove the refcounting and simply wake up the
device when probing and put to sleep when
removing.

5c81c7fd62 ath10k: introduce a stricter scan state machine
This aims at fixing some rare scan bugs related to
firmware reporting unexpected scan event
sequences.

One such bug was if spectral scan phyerr reporting
prevented firmware from properly propagating scan
events to host. This led to scan timeout. After
that next scan would trigger scan completed event
first (before scan started event) leading to
ar->scan.in_progress and timeout timer states to
be overwritten incorrectly and making the very
next scan to hang forever.

855aed1220 ath10k: add spectral scan feature
Adds the spectral scan feature for ath10k. The spectral scan is triggered by
configuring a mode through a debugfs control file. Samples can be gathered via
another relay debugfs file.

Essentially, to try it out:

ip link set dev wlan0 up
echo background > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath10k/spectral_scan_ctl
echo trigger > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath10k/spectral_scan_ctl
iw dev wlan0 scan
echo disable > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath10k/spectral_scan_ctl
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath10k/spectral_scan0 > samples

This feature is still experimental. Based on the original RFC patch of
Sven Eckelmann.

dc55e3074c ath10k: improve channel switching
In some cases during heavy tx vdev stop-start
would timeout on vdev synchronization causing
traffic to stall for a few seconds.

Instead of stop-starting use a dedicated vdev
restart command and down vdevs explicitly before
doing so.

This gets rid of the synchronization
warnings/timeouts and makes channel switching
smoother during traffic.

0ccb7a3485 ath10k: handle attention flags correctly when using A-MSDU
In case of A-MSDU RX we should check attention flags
correctly to be sure we report correct FCS status for
A-MSDU subframes. Without a patch we could report A-MSDU
subframes with wrong FCS as a correct to the stack, next
get a lot of DUP ACK TCP packets. Finally TP drop is seen
and this drop depends on FCS errors ratio for A-MSDU frame.

Example test case when TP drop is seen:
- ath10k configured as an AP
- used ath10k station
- forced A-MSDU (7 frames) on STA
- other traffic on channel (often FCS errors)
- monitor iface added on AP
- TCP STA -> AP traffic (iperf)

abf09c5613 iwlwifi: mvm: minor change in debug print
Add OTP to the string: "can't parse empty OTP/NVM section"
NVM usually refers to nvm_file while the problem can be in
the OTP.

4660dfbbe0 iwlwifi: mvm: wait for handlers when stopping scans
The recent unified scan api change introduced issues
when stopping ongoing scans, since both regular and
sched scan now use same stopped notification.

When issuing a new scan right after a running one,
we get the "old" notification and handle it wrongly
as notification for the current scan.

Fix it by introducing a new function that make sure
we consume the pending notifications before issuing
a new scan.

1459f269e8 iwlwifi: mvm: BT Coex - fix the ACK / CTS kill mask
According to new requirements, the ACK / CTS kill mask is
not related to reduced TX power anymore. This allows to
remove the code that tracked reduced TX power enablement
across different interfaces.
The ACK / CTS kill mask is now fetch from a table. It
depends on the Activity grading (activity from BT) and on
the Look Up Table (LUT) type.

b112889c5a iwlwifi: mvm: add Aux ROC request/response flow
The Remain On Channel framework added to the firmare is
a bit like time events. It allows the driver to request
the firmware to be on a certain channel for a certain time.
Unlike the time events, the ROC infrastructure doesn't need
a MAC context in the firmware - it uses a generic context
called "auxiliary framework".

This is useful for any offchannel activity that is not bound
to a specific MAC.
The flow is synchronized much like with time events:
1) The driver receives an action frame from the wpa_supplicant
   via nl80211 that requests to be sent offchannel.
2) The driver sends an Aux ROC command (0x53) to the firmware.
3) The firmware responds with the unique id of the time event.
4) When time event starts, the driver puts the frame in the
   Aux queue.

Special care needs to be taken when the time events ends:
the queue needs to be cleaned-up.
