Currently, the calculation of ack signal strength is incorrect.
This is because before calculating the ack signal strength, ath11k need
to determine whether the hardware and firmware support db2dbm. If the
hardware and firmware support db2dbm, do not need to add noise floor,
otherwise, need to add noise floor.
Besides, the value of ack_rssi passed by firmware to ath11k should be a
signed number, so change its type to s8.
After that, "iw wlan0 station dump" show the correct ack signal strength.
Such as:

ieee80211_tx_status() treats packets in 802.11 frame format and
tries to extract sta address from packet header. When tx encap
offload is enabled, this becomes invalid operation. Hence, switch
to using ieee80211_tx_status_ext() after filling in station
address for handling both 802.11 and 802.3 frames.

HTT_T2H_MSG_TYPE_PPDU_STATS_IND is a message which include the ppdu
info, currently it is not report from firmware for ath11k, then the
tx bitrate of "iw wlan0 station dump" always show an invalid value
"tx bitrate: 6.0 MBit/s".
To address the issue, this is to parse the info of tx complete report
from firmware and indicate the tx rate to mac80211.
After that, "iw wlan0 station dump" show the correct tx bit rate such
as:
tx bitrate: 78.0 MBit/s MCS 12
tx bitrate: 144.4 MBit/s VHT-MCS 7 short GI VHT-NSS 2
tx bitrate: 286.7 MBit/s HE-MCS 11 HE-NSS 2 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0

In 4addr, AP wired backbone to STA wired backbone ping fails due to ARP
request not getting answered. Here 4addr ARP multicast packet is sent in
3addr, so that 4addr STA not honouring the 3addr ARP multicast packet.
Fix this issue by sending out multicast packet in 4addr format, firmware
expects peer meta flag instead of vdev meta flag in Tx descriptor.

ath11k is a new driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices, first
supporting only IPQ8074 SoC using the shared memory AHB bus. ath11k
uses mac80211 and supports AP, Station and Mesh modes.
Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especially
the WMI layer) it was concluded to be simpler to have a "clean start"
for ath11k code base and not try to share the code with ath10k. This
makes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, which
would have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existing
setups.
Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are major
differences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11k
supports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. And
there's only one WMI interface to support.
Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for
802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k is
accepted to upstream.
The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository but
they will be also submitted to linux-firmware:
https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware
This was tested with firmware version WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1.
The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabetical
order below.
