This scenario may result in packet loss, since the transmission may start

Fix a bug in nvm_read_section function if size of the section
is a multiple of 2K:
- if the size of the section is *not* multiple of 2K,
then we will have: read(2K) - return 2K ... read(2K) - return 2K
read(2K) - return the rest (in bytes) and exit the while loop.
- else, if the size of the section is a multiple of 2K,
then we have: read(2K) - return 2K read(2K) - return 2K read(2K) -
return 2K read(2K) - return 0 and exit the while with an error.
We should not return an error in the latter case, because it

A binding object associates virtual MACs to a Phy.
Binding object can ask (and get) air time, thus
allowing several MACs to share the medium.
A binding object can be in either one of 3 states:
1) standalone - A single active MAC
2) Different Channel Mode (DCM) - There are 2 active
MACs or more (not necessarily just clients), but each
has its own channel.
3) Same Channel Mode (SCM) - There are 2 active
MACs or more (not necessarily just clients), that
share the same channel.

The expected throughput table used when estimating a new column
depends on the channel bandwidth. When switching from legacy to
siso or mimo the wrong expected throughput table was used as it
was chosen based on the the channel bandwidth in legacy which is
always 20Mhz. Instead it should be chosen based on the current sta
bandwidth which could be also 40Mhz or 80Mhz.
When enabling MCS9 this bug leads to a problem where the max
expected throughput of the siso or mimo column is 0 as MCS9 isn't
supported in 20Mhz. This in turns prevents switching to siso or mimo.

assuming 110mSec per-channel * 24 channels. EBS is designed to detect
energy on channels with intensive Wifi activity as well as those where
only beacons are transmitted. EBS completes sampling all channels within
shortest beacon frame transmission time. Total EBS duration is about 100
msec (typical beacon interval).
Detecting Wifi activity on 5 GHz band channels can significantly reduce
scan duration thus saving time and power. EBS failure reported by FW

is not to be drained.
We don't need to drain this station since it is our AP in
managed mode and we flush all its frames synchronously
anyway.
Setting the AP station to -EINVAL could lead to confusion
since internal stations are also reserved with -EINVAL,
this confusion showed up in the logs as:
Drained sta 0, but it is internal?

The firmware tells us if an Rx packet was beamformed or not.
Propagate this data to mac80211's rx_status.vht_flags.
The main user of this data is the radiotap header.

Besides the different allocation flags, they are really
the same. Pass the gfp_t flags as a parameter, and unify
them.

Similar to the recent RX queue patch, this changes the need_update
handling for the TX queues to be clearer and only done when needed.

When updating the write pointer, the TX queue should be locked
to get consistent state, fix that in the interrupt handler.

Instead of using u8 to hold logic values, use bool.
Also fix a comment, the return value is no longer relevant.

When shadow registers are enabled, then need_update never needs
to be set, so move the need_update handling into the function
that really needs to do it (iwl_pcie_rxq_inc_wr_ptr) and also
separate the check when it woke up. While at it, convert it to
bool.
This also clarifies the locking and means the irq_lock needs to
no longer be held for any such updates.
The irq_lock also doesn't have to be held for restocking since
everything else locks the RX queue properly, so remove that and
finally disentangle the two locks entirely so there aren't any
dependencies between the two left.

Use the new NAPI infrastructure added to mac80211 to get
GRO. We don't really implement NAPI since we don't have
a real poll function and we never schedule a NAPI poll.
Instead of this, we collect all the packets we got from a
single interrupt and then call napi_gro_flush().
This allows us to benefit from GRO. In half duplex medium
like WiFi, its main advantage is that it reduces the number
of TCP Acks, hence improving the TCP Rx performance.
Since we call the Rx path with a spinlock held, remove
the might_sleep mention from the op_mode's API.
