Some FullMAC cfg80211 wireless devices do not support virtual
interfaces, hence there is script logic to keep the existing network
device. Improve this to support renaming the interface if needed and
make sure the existing interface actually belongs to the right phy.
Change calls to 'iw' to avoid outputing warnings and errors to not
confuse users of such devices.
Also bump PKG_RELEASE which has been forgotten in the previous two
mac80211 changes.

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.

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.

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

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.

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(%).
