When reloading modules and running wifi, a phy can sometimes be renamed
while in the middle of a hotplug call that tries to detect new phys
This can lead to bogus wifi-device sections being created

hostapd's compile time option CONFIG_IEEE80211N was removed almost 3 years
ago, 80.211n/HT is always included since then.
Noticed because `hostapd -v11n` confusingly returned an error.

Get rid of drivers that are either limited to 802.11b/g or don't even support
cfg80211/mac80211. Most of these are either limited to boards that we don't even
support anymore because of firmware size, or were only used for custom hacks by
a really small number of users in the past.
Let's get rid of those to reduce the maintenance effort and the number of useless
packages

CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH isn't defined for this package, rendering the patch
useless. Match protecting the access of sta_info.mesh with the very same

Enable HE SU beamformee by default
Fix spatial reuse configuration:
- he_spr_sr_control is not a bool for enabling, it contains multiple bits
which disable features that should be disabled by default
- one of the features (PSR) can be enabled through he_spr_psr_enabled
- add option to disable bss color / spatial reuse

mac80211 incorrectly processes A-MSDUs contained in A-MPDU frames. This
results in dropped packets and severely impacted throughput.
As a workaround, don't indicate support for A-MSDUs contained in
A-MPDUs. This improves throughput over mesh links by factor 10.

The "tx_burst" option which should control the value was
expecting more of a list and hence tx_queue_data2_burst
value wasn't updated.
Yes, it would make sense to have a list for this, the
existing code only updates tx_queue_data2_burst and
not the other tx_queue_data[0134]_burst values.

Serge Vasilugin reports:
To improve mt7620 built-in wifi performance some changes:
1. Correct BW20/BW40 switching (see comments with mark (1))
2. Correct TX_SW_CFG1 MAC reg from v3 of vendor driver see
https://gitlab.com/dm38/padavan-ng/-/blob/master/trunk/proprietary/rt_wifi/rtpci/3.0.X.X/mt76x2/chips/rt6352.c#L531
3. Set bbp66 for all chains.
4. US_CYC_CNT init based on Programming guide, default value was 33 (pci),
set chipset bus clock with fallback to cpu clock/3.
5. Don't overwrite default values for mt7620.
6. Correct some typos.
7. Add support for external LNA:
a) RF and BBP regs never be corrected for this mode
b) eLNA is driven the same way as ePA with mt7620's pin PA
but vendor driver explicitly pin PA to gpio mode (for forrect calibration?)
so I'm not sure that request for pa_pin in dts-file will be enough
First 5 changes (really 2) improve performance for boards w/o eLNA/ePA.
Changes 7 add support for eLNA
Configuration w/o eLAN/ePA and with eLNA show results
tx/rx (from router point of view) for each stream:
35-40/30-35 Mbps for HT20
65-70/60-65 Mbps for HT40
Yes. Max results for 2T2R client is 140-145/135-140
with peaks 160/150, It correspond to mediatek driver results.
Boards with ePA untested.

Prepare patches for sending upstream by adding patch descriptions
generated from the original OpenWrt commits adding each patch.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
It is common for 802.11ax NICs to support more than just AP mode, which
results in there being a distinct set of HE capabilities for each mode. As
(bad) luck would have it, iw prints out info for each HE mode in sequential
order according to `enum nl80211_iftype`, and AP mode isn't always first.
As a result, the wrong set of HE capabilities can be parsed if an AP NIC
supports station (managed) mode or any other mode preceding AP mode, since
only the first set of HE capabilities printed by iw is parsed from awk's
output.
This has a noticeable impact on beamforming for example, since managed mode
usually doesn't have beamformer capabilities enabled, while AP mode does.
Hostapd won't be set up with the configs to enable beamformer capabilities
in this scenario, causing hostapd to disable beamforming to HE stations
even when it's supported by the AP.
Always parse the correct set of HE capabilities for AP mode to fix this.
This is achieved by trimming all of iw's output prior to the AP mode
capabilities, which ensures that the first set of HE capabilities are
always for AP mode.

Backports upstream fix from 5.19
lockdep complains use of uninitialized spinlock at ieee80211_do_stop() [1],
for commit f856373e2f31ffd3 ("wifi: mac80211: do not wake queues on a vif
that is being stopped") guards clear_bit() using fq.lock even before
fq_init() from ieee80211_txq_setup_flows() initializes this spinlock.
According to discussion [2], Toke was not happy with expanding usage of
fq.lock. Since __ieee80211_wake_txqs() is called under RCU read lock, we
can instead use synchronize_rcu() for flushing ieee80211_wake_txqs().
