bf6f7cf29b mac80211: Update to version 5.9.12-1
The removed patches were applied upstream.

Remove the 300-mac80211-optimize-skb-resizing.patch.
This patch was not applied upstream, but it conflicts with upstream
changes and needs bigger changes. It was applied with Felix to remove
this patch for now. It should be reworked and then send upstream later.

1a9b896d8b treewide: nuke DRIVER_11W_SUPPORT
As of hostapd upstream commit 7d2ed8ba "Remove CONFIG_IEEE80211W build parameter"
https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit?id=7d2ed8bae86a31dd2df45c24b3f7281d55315482
802.11w feature is always enabled in the build time.

It doesn't make sense to opt-in 802.11w per driver as hostapd will always
be compiled with this feature enabled.

As suggested by Hauke Mehrtens, for now keep 11w enabled in build_features.h
for compatibility reasons. This option will be dropped when LuCI is adjusted.

7ca9b82c38 mac80211: Fix wpa_supplicant config removal ubus call
If mac80211_setup_supplicant() is called with enabled=0 then it should just
destroy the interface and remove the configuration from wpa_supplicant. But
the ubus method call always returned

  Command failed: Method not found

because the actual name of the method is "config_remove".

Some FullMAC cfg80211 wireless devices do not support virtual

make sure the existing interface actually belongs to the right phy.

74739c4228 treewide: fix syntax errors exposed after kconfig update
After commit e82a4d9cfb ("config: regenerate *_shipped sources") the mconf
parser became more strict as a side effect and started to spew a series of
warnings when evaluating our generated kconfig sources:

  tmp/.config-package.in:705:warning: ignoring unsupported character '@'

The root cause of these warnings is a wrong use of the @SYMBOL dependency
syntax in various Makefile. Fix the corresponding Makefiles by turning
`@SYM||@SYM2` expressions into the proper `@(SYM||SYM2)` form.

2b51d8591f mac80211: ath10k: support for management rate control
Issues a wmi command to firmware when multicast rate change is received with the
new BSS_CHANGED_MCAST_RATE flag.  Also fixes the incorrect fixed_rate setting
for CCK rates which got introduced with addition of ath10k_rates_rev2 enum.

By default the firmware uses 1Mbps and 6Mbps rate for management packets
in 2G and 5G bands respectively. But when the user selects different
basic rates from the userspace, we need to send the management
packets at the lowest basic rate selected by the user.

8b42a260ed mac80211: Expose support for ath9k Dynack
Enables support for Dynack feature.

When a remote station is far away, we need to compensate for the distance
by allowing more time for an ACK to arrive back before issueing a retransmission.
Currently, it needs to be set fixed to indicate the maximum distance the remote
station will ever be.

While this mostly works for static antennae, it introduces 2 issues:
- If the actual distance is less, speed is reduced due to a lot of wates wait-time
- If the distance becomes greater, retries start to occur and comms can get lost.

Allowing to set it dynamically using dynack ensures the best possible tradeoff
between speed vs distance.

This feature is currently only supported in ath9k.
it is also disabled by default.

Enabling it can be done in 2 ways:
- issue cmd:  iw phy0 set distance auto
- sending the NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_DYN_ACK flag to mac80211 driver using netlink

Disabling it can be done by providing a valid fixed value.

To give an idea of a practical example:

In my usecase, we have mesh wifi device installed on ships/platforms.
Currently, the coverage class is set at 12000m fixed.

When a vessel moved closer (ex. 1500m), the measured link capacity was a lot
lower compared to setting the coverage class fixed to 1500m

Dynack completely solved this, nearly providing double the bandwidth at closer range
compared to the fixed setting of 12000m being used.

Also when a vessel sailed to a distance greater than the fixed setting,
communication was lost as the ACK's never arrived within the max allowed timeframe.

Actual distance: 6010m
iperf 60s run avg

Fixed 12150m:  31 Mbit/s
Dynack:        58 Mbit/s

Fixed 6300m:   51 Mbit/s
Dynack:        59 Mbit/s

Fixed 3000m:   13 Mbit/s  (lots of retries)
Dynack:        58 Mbit/s

Actual distance: 1504m
iperf 60s run avg

Fixed 12150m:  31 Mbit/s
Dynack:        86 Mbit/s

Fixed 6300m:   55 Mbit/s
Dynack:        87 Mbit/s

Fixed 3000m:   67 Mbit/s
Dynack:        87 Mbit/s

34e22653ac mac80211: enable ath10k LED support by default
Commit 61d57a2f88 adds ath10k LED
support, but doesn't add an option to actually enable it.

After enabling this option, a LED named ath10k-phy0 appears in sysfs,
and a trigger can be assigned to it. Since 60deb3cdef the default set
trigger is the tpt one.

Enable it by default, as most devices using ath10k chips shouldn't be
severely space-constrained. There are likely many devices that can
benefit from having it enabled, like my testing device.

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 245311    8899      16  254226   3e112 ath10k_core.ko

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 245979    8899      16  254894   3e3ae ath10k_core.ko

4270847a2c mac80211: ath10k: Allow to enable the thermal code of ath10k
Some ath10k firmware versions allow to access the chip internal a
temperature sensor and allow to reduce the amount of the time when the card
is allowed to send. The latter is required on devices which tend to
overheat.

An userspace service has to read
/sys/class/ieee80211/phy*/device/hwmon/hwmon*/temp1_input regularly and
then decide how much the device has to be throttled. This can be done by
writing to /sys/class/ieee80211/phy*/device/cooling_device/cur_state. By
default it is not throttled (0) but it can be throttled up to 100(%).

mac80211, hostapd: always explicitly set beacon interval
One of the latest mac80211 updates added sanity checks, requiring the
beacon intervals of all VIFs of the same radio to match. This often broke
AP+11s setups, as these modes use different default intervals, at least in
some configurations (observed on ath9k).

Instead of relying on driver or hostapd defaults, change the scripts to
always explicitly set the beacon interval, defaulting to 100. This also
applies the beacon interval to 11s interfaces, which had been forgotten
before. VIF-specific beacon_int setting is removed from hostapd.sh.
