acc79d981c ath11k: Perform per-msdu rx processing
As Hash based reo destination selection is configured,
the decapped packets reach different reo destintion rings
based on the destintaion ring selected for the computed hash (based on
the 5-tuple {ip src/ip dst/src port/dst port/protocol}) by hw and
as configured by driver.

Hence the current implementation of amsdu list based processing after all
the subframes of amsdu are received (since all msdu's for a pdev are
received in same reo dest ring), is not applicable here and hence is
replaced with per msdu based handling as these subframes
can be received in different reo dest rings.

Also, as some of the rx descriptor fields might be valid only for the
first msdu (for ex. received 80211 header, encryption type, etc),
it might not be useful now as we cannot sync between different
subframes received in different rings. Hence do not rely on those
fields and replace them with fieds valid only on per msdu descriptors.
Also cache other details such as encryption type for a peer so that
it can be reused when a packet is received from it.

26c79927f1 ath11k: Configure hash based reo destination ring selection
Current implementation of pdev based reo destination ring
selection is replaced by hash based ring selection so as to
ensure all the available rings are utilized for better performance.

The 4 reo destination rings are selected by the HW based on the
hash value computed from the received packet based on the 5 tuple
{ip src/ip dst/src port/dst port/protocol}. Out of the 32 hash values
used by the hw, the driver assigns 8 values per reo destination ring
to each of the 4 reo destination rings.

107560d847 ath11k: set queue_len to 4096
The driver currently does not use wake_txq_queue. This leads to the

1441b2f205 ath11k: enable PN offload
Enabling PN checking in the hardware; hardware checks
the PN of the received packets and reports the errors
to the host for further handling; default action is to
drop such packets. TSC (TKIP sequence counter)
validation is also offloaded.

Hardware validates PN/TSC only for unicast packets;
for group addressed packets, PN validation is done
in mac80211.

PN errors are reported to the driver via WBM RX release
ring and can be dumped by using the following command.

"cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath11k/soc_rx_stats | grep -i pn"

Sample Output:
PN check fail: 210

243874c64c ath11k: handle RX fragments
IPQ8074 HW has support to verify the PN of the received frames.
For all frames except for fragmented ones, HW checks the PN and
delivers them to the driver. For fragmented frames, driver is
required to do a little more; it has to reassemble the fragments
and then reinject them to the HW for verifying the PN. Currently,
to keep the logic simple, PN verifcation is disabled in HW and is
handled in mac80211 for all the frames (fragmented and unfragmented).

On the contrary, offloading PN Validation to the HW brings important
benefits. It reduces CPU cycles spent on the host CPU for verifying
the same; helps in enabling features which improve performance like
mac80211 fast RX path, enabling multiple REO rings for parallel RX
processing, 802.11 decapsulation offloading. All these features are
dependent on PN offload which in turn is dependent on handling of
the received fragments in the driver.

When TKIP security is used, additional handling is required while
processing the fragments; since MIC is computed on an MSDU in TKIP,
only the last fragment has the MIC info. In this case, driver has to
compute the MIC after reassembly and compare it against the MIC
present in the frame. For this, MICHAEL_MIC kernel crypto library
APIs are used and the dependencies are appropriately set.

In multi AP VAP scenario, when user bring down the interfaces. mac80211 mark
the interface down for the duplicated VAP and removed from the
local->interfaces list. ath11k_mac_get_arvif() is dependent on
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() API to find the vdev id
in a given radio. In disassociation path, ath11k_mac_get_arvif() not
able to find the given vdev id since that VAP is removed from the
local->interfaces list. since sta_state callback throws error, mac80211 log
the below WARN_ON_ONCE message.

Fixed it by storing the allocated_vdev_map in each radio structure to maintain
the created vdev id bits. so that we can directly mask this against the given
vdev_id to find out the ar from the vdev_id.

39e81c6a29 ath11k: fix missed bw conversion in tx completion
TX rate stats for the retried packets for a station comes through
tx completion events. Assigning hw reported bandwidth information
directly to station's txrate bandwidth will cause below warning.
Fix this warning by converting the hw reported bandwidth to
mac80211 base bandwidth.

d5c65159f2 ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices
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.
