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.
This change makes use of WMI_VDEV_PARAM_MGMT_RATE param for configuring the
management packets rate to the firmware.

This version removes a lot of unusefull warnings that would quickly overflow the dmesg.
Warnings like this:
ath10k_ahb a800000.wifi: Invalid legacy rate 26 peer stats
ath10k_ahb a000000.wifi: Invalid VHT mcs 15 peer stats
On this version I only had 2 warnings at all.
Tested on 8devices Jalapeno.

This updates the ath10k-ct driver to the version from 2018-12-11 and
selects the ath10k-ct version based on kernel 4.19 by default.
CONFIG_ATH10K_CE was introduced between kernel 4.16 and 4.19 and is a
mandatory option.

Update ath10k-ct to be able to drop 210-ath10k-fix-recent-bandwidth-conversion-bug.patch
as its upstream.
b9989fbd5d6e ath10k-ct: Add upstream patch to fix peer rate reporting.
ac9224344dbf ath10k-ct: Support sending custom frames with no-ack flag.
bc938bc2021e ath10k-ct: Support sending pkts with specific rate on 10.4 firmware.
Runtime tested on:

This backports a patch from the upstream kernel which was also shipped
previously in mac80211.
This fixes the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2881 at backports-4.19-rc5-1/net/wireless/util.c:1146 cfg80211_calculate_bitrate+0x238/0x348 [cfg80211]

Commit 2dcd955aea ("mac80211: backport and update patches for ath10k")
changed the DFS detector API, causing ath10k-ct to fail building due to
a missing add_pulse() argument.
Extend the already existing kernel compatibility patch to also adjust
the add_pulse() call accordingly.

Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
board data file is identified on QCA4019 using bus, bmi-chip-id and
bmi-board-id.
The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
fulfill the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
board data file.
This problem was solved for SMBIOS by adding a special SMBIOS type 0xF8.
Something similar has to be provided for systems without SMBIOS but with
device trees. No solution was specified by QCA and therefore a new one has
to be found for ath10k.
The device tree requires addition strings to define the variant name
wifi@a000000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
wifi@a800000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
This would create the boarddata identifiers for the board-2.bin search
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=RT-AC58U
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=RT-AC58U

The driver updates include:
ath10k driver backport to fix WPA 'pn' related security bugs
(4.13 based driver only currently),
a fix for off-channel TX for CT wave-1 firmware, a likely
fix for napi related crashes, and a backport of the firmware fetch
patch.
AHB is needed for the IPQ4019 platform radios.

Backport patches that separate spectral scan support from general debugfs
support of ath9k/ath10k; this allows to remove the dependency on
KERNEL_RELAY from these driver packages even with debugfs enabled and
avoids the memory footprint of the relay buffers allocated by ath9k/ath10k
even when they aren't used at all.
The KERNEL_RELAY dependency is moved to a new config symbol that enables
spectral scan support in these drivers.

This backports a patch from kernel 4.14 to the ath10k-ct version based
on kernel 4.13.
Some devices are using a user space script to load the calibration data
from the flash and this was not trigged any more.

This updates mac80211 to backprots-4.14-rc2.
This was compile and runtime tested with ath9k, ath10k and b43
with multiple stations and ieee80211w and in different scenarios by many
other people.
To create the backports-4.14-rc2-1.tar.xz use this repository:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/backports/backports.git
from tag v4.14-rc2-1
Then run this:
./gentree.py --git-revision v4.14-rc2 --clean <path to linux repo> ../backports-4.14-rc2-1
This also adapts the ath10k-ct and mt76 driver to the changed cfg80211
APIs and syncs the nl80211.h file in iw with the new version from
backports-4.14-rc2.
