The spec requires to decrement the CSA counters based on TBTT,
regardless if the beacon was actually transmitted. Previously, the fw
would send beacon notifications only for successfully transmitted
beacons. This behavior resulted in inaccurate CSA countdown. In order
to address this issue, the fw was changed to send beacon
notifications also for not transmitted beacons. Such notifications
have TX_STATUS_INTERNAL_ABORT (0x92).
Don't start the CSA countdown before first successfully transmitted
beacon, in order to guarantee that the CSA is announced for a
required period.

The scheduler is a HW sub-block that directs the work of the Flow
Handler by issuing requests for frame transfers, specifying source
and destination. Its primary function is to allocate flows into the
TX FIFOs based upon a pre-determined mapping.
The driver has some responsibilities to the scheduler, namely
initialising and maintaining the hardware registers. This is
currently done by directly accessing them, which can cause races
with the firmware also accessing the registers.
To address this problem, change the driver to no longer directly
access the registers but go through the firmware for this if the
firmware has support for DQA and thus the new command.

The firmware would like to have a MAC context (unassoc)
before the AP station is removed (we do this) but would
like to keep the BSSID until after it is removed, so we
need to send two commands - one with the BSSID before
and one without the BSSID after.
In order to do this, we need to store the BSSID as it
will have been cleared by mac80211 by the time we get
notified of the disassociation. Also pass it around as
an override to the various functions needing it, and
keep taking it from the mac80211 data otherwise. This
avoids having to keep track of the BSSID in all modes.

before the client is actually on a new channel. In order to prevent
potential packet loss disable tx to all the stations when the channel
