During hw scan, firmware sends two channel information events (pre-
complete, complete) to host for each channel change. The snap shot of cycle
counters (rx_clear and total) between these two events are given for
survey dump. In order to get latest survey statistics of all channels, a
scan request has to be issued. In general, an AP DUT is brought up, it
won't leave BSS channel except few cases like overlapping bss or radar
detection. So survey statistics of bss channel is always referring to
older data that are collected before starting AP (either ACS/OBSS scan).
To collect latest survey information from target, firmware provides WMI
interface to read cycle counters from hardware. For each survey dump
request, BSS channel cycle counters are read and cleared in hardware.
This makes sure that behavior is in align with ath9k survey report.
So survey dump always gives snap shot of cycle counters b/w two survey
requests.

According to the spec, VHT doesn't exist in 2.4GHz.
There are vendor extensions to allow a subset of VHT to work
(notably 256-QAM), but since mac80211 doesn't support those
advertising VHT capability on 2.4GHz leads to the behaviour
of reporting VHT capabilities but not being able to use any
of them due to mac80211's code requiring 80 MHz support.
Remove the VHT capabilities from 2.4GHz for now. If mac80211
gets extended to use the (likely Broadcom) vendor IEs for it
and handles the lack of 80 MHz support, it can be added back.

ath.git patches for 4.7. Major changes:
ath10k
* implement set_tsf() for 10.2.4 branch
* remove rare MSI range support
* remove deprecated firmware API 1 support
ath9k
* add module parameter to invert LED polarity
wcn36xx
* fixes to get the driver properly working on Dragonboard 410c
To make it easier to share ath10k_core_fetch_board_data_api_n() with testmode.c
refactor all firmware components to struct ath10k_fw_components. This structure
will hold firmware related files, for example firmware-N.bin and board-N.bin.
For firmware-N.bin create a new struct ath10k_fw_file which contains the actual
firmware image as well as the parsed data from the image.
Modify ath10k_core_start() to take struct ath10k_fw_components() as an argument
which makes it possible in following patches to drop some ugly hacks from
testmode.c.

push-pull mode needs certain amount the host driver involvement for
managing queues in the host memory and packet delivery to firmware.
qca4019 wifi firmware has an option to stay in push mode for less
number of active traffic flow and then switch to push-pull mode when
the active traffic flow goes beyond the certain limit.
The advantage of staying in push mode for less active traffic is, the
host cpu consumption is reduced. qca4019 firmware supports this
flexibility of the mode switch. It takes the host driver interest
(LOW_PERF/HIGH_PERF) via WMI_EXT_RESOURCE_CFG_CMDID,
LOW_PERF - fw would stay in push mode and switch to push-pull
based on demand.
HIGH_PERF - fw would stay in push-pull mode from the boot.
To make this configuration generic, new WMI services
WMI_SERVICE_TX_MODE_PUSH_ONLY, WMI_SERVICE_TX_MODE_PUSH_PULL,
WMI_SERVICE_TX_MODE_DYNAMIC are introduced to take dynamic tx mode
switch support availability in firmware.
Based on WMI_SERVICE_TX_MODE_DYNAMIC, LOW_PERF or HIGHT_PERF is
configured to the firmware.

Upon firmware assert, restart work will be triggered so that mac80211
will reconfigure the driver. An issue is reported that after restart
work, survey dump data do not contain in-use (SURVEY_INFO_IN_USE) info
for operating channel. During reconfigure, since mac80211 already has
valid channel context for given radio, channel context iteration return
num_chanctx > 0. Hence rx_channel is always NULL. Fix this by assigning
channel context to rx_channel when driver restart is in progress.

Frames that are transmitted via MGMT_TX are using reserved descriptor
slots in firmware. This limitation is for the htt_mgmt_tx path itself,
not for mgmt frames per se. In 16 MBSSID scenario, these reserved slots
will be easy exhausted due to frequent probe responses. So for 10.4
based solutions, probe responses are limited by a threshold (24).
management tx path is separate for all except tlv based solutions. Since
tlv solutions (qca6174 & qca9377) do not support 16 AP interfaces, it is
safe to move management descriptor limitation check under mgmt_tx
function. Though CPU improvement is negligible, unlikely conditions or
never hit conditions in hot path can be avoided on data transmission.

The current/old tx path design was that host, at
its own leisure, pushed tx frames to the device.
For HTT there was ~1000-1400 msdu queue depth.
After reaching that limit the driver would request
mac80211 to stop queues. There was little control
over what packets got in there as far as
DA/RA was considered so it was rather easy to
starve per-station traffic flows.
With MU-MIMO this became a significant problem
because the queue depth was insufficient to buffer
frames from multiple clients (which could have
different signal quality and capabilities) in an
efficient fashion.
Hence the new tx path in 10.4 was introduced: a
pull-push mode.
Firmware and host can share tx queue state via
DMA. The state is logically a 2 dimensional array
addressed via peer_id+tid pair. Each entry is a
counter (either number of bytes or packets. Host
keeps it updated and firmware uses it for
scheduling Tx pull requests to host.
This allows MU-MIMO to become a lot more effective
with 10+ clients.

Firmware 10.4.3 onwards can support a pull-push Tx
model where it shares a Tx queue state with the

The host updates the DMA region it pointed to
during HTT setup whenever number of software
queued from (on host) changes. Based on this
information firmware issues fetch requests to the
host telling the host how many frames from a list
of given stations/tids should be submitted to the
firmware.
The code won't be called because not all

The pull-push functionality of 10.4 will be based

eventually, to ieee80211_txq to be used with
ieee80211_tx_dequeue().
Iterating over existing stations every time
peer_id needs to be mapped to a station would be
inefficient wrt CPU time.
The new firmware, which will be the only user of
the code flow-wise, will guarantee to use low
peer_ids first so despite peer_map's apparent huge
size d-cache thrashing should not be a problem.

However, for the sake of future wake_tx_queue()

dequeues frame from ieee80211_txq (and thus long
