0b2c42ced2 mac80211: Update to version 5.2-rc7
This updates mac80211 to version 5.2-rc7, this contains all the changes
to the wireless subsystem up to Linux 5.2-rc7.

* The removed patches are applied upstream
* b43 now uses kmod-lib-cordic
* Update the nl80211.h file in iw to match backports version.
* Remove the two backports from kernel 4.9, they were needed for mt76,
  but that can use the version from backports now, otherwise they
  collide and cause compile errors.

f17529a122 mac80211: ath10k: fix max antenna gain unit
Most of the txpower for the ath10k firmware is stored as twicepower (0.5 dB
steps). This isn't the case for max_antenna_gain - which is still expected
by the firmware as dB.

The firmware is converting it from dB to the internal (twicepower)
representation when it calculates the limits of a channel. This can be seen
in tpc_stats when configuring "12" as max_antenna_gain. Instead of the
expected 12 (6 dB), the tpc_stats shows 24 (12 dB).

Tested on QCA9888 and IPQ4019 with firmware 10.4-3.5.3-00057.

4beed12d85 mac80211: ath10k: fix incorrect multicast/broadcast rate setting
If no mcast_rate is set for the wifi-iface then there is no rate_idx (0)
set for the bss. This breaks for example 5GHz meshpoint interfaces because
0 maps to a CCK rate (11Mbit/s).

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.

69aa1c5ac0 mac80211: ath: add extra 'regulatory domains'
This patch adds several country codes to the regd.h and regd_common.h
files in order to support devices whose country codes are not present in
the original list.

Without this patch, all devices whose manufacturer programmed any of these
code in their EEPROM will run without wireless interfaces.

13251aa92b mac80211: ath10k: remove "ath10k: fix otp failure result" patch
Initially this patch was introduced as a quick fix following
the removal of 936-ath10k_skip_otp_check.patch which caused
multiple ath10k pcie devices in various ipq806x and ar71xx/ath79
targets to malfunction.

Thankfully, the affected devices have been updated to utilize
the pre-caldata method. And finally with the switch to ath10k-ct,
which never had the patch or any reports of similar issues, I
think it's time to remove this patch since it is no longer needed.

8d2a9e8027 ath9k: Avoid OF no-eeprom quirks when no qca,no-eeprom
Based on the process of discovery in
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1613, it has become clear
that (at least) the PowerCloud System CR5000 was unable to get
working 5GHz wireless (PCIe) because AH_USE_EEPROM was unconditionally
masked out, not only when qca,noeeprom was in the DTS.

This patch moves mask AH_USE_EEPROM into the if ... qca,noeeprom
OF test.

Thanks to Christian Lampartar (@chunkeey) for the heavy lifting and help.

Patch has been prepared for upstream and will be submitted after review
by @chunkeey and @xdarklight.

This updates the backports package used in mac80211 to version 4.19.7-1
which is based on kernel 4.19.7. This integrates all the stable fixes
introduces in this kernel version.

The deleted patches are not needed any more because they are either
included in the upstream Linux kernel 4.19.7 or in backports 4.19.7-1.

d35f2a5565 ath9k: register GPIO chip for OF targets
This partitialy reverts commit ccab68f2d3.

Registering the GPIO chip without a parent device completely breaks the
ath9k GPIOs for device tree targets.

As long as boards using the devicetree don't have the gpio-controller
property set for the ath9k node, the unloading of the driver works as
expected.

Register the GPIO chip with the ath9k device as parent only for OF
targets to find a trade-off between the needs of driver developers and
the broken LEDs and buttons seen by users.

5ac34818f9 ath9k: fix dynack in IBSS mode
Currently, dynack was only tested upstream using AP/STA mode.
Testing it on IBSS, showed that late-ack detection was broken.

This is caused due to dynack using Association Request/Response
frames for late-ack detection, which IBSS does not use.
Also allowing Authentication frames here solves this.

A second issue also got fixed, which was also seen AP/STA mode:

When a station was added, the estimated value would be exponentially averaged
using 0 as a starting point.

This means that on larger distances, the ack timeout was still not high
enough before synchronizing would run out of late-ack's for estimation.

Fix this by using the initial estimated value as a baseline
and only start averaging in the following estimation rounds.

Test setup:
- 2x identical devices:  RB912UAG-5HPnD + 19dB sector
- IBSS
- 2x2 802.11an (ar9340), HT20, long GI
- RSSI's  -70 / -71
- Real distance: 23910 meter

Results (60s iperf runs):

Fixed coverage class 54 (up to 24300m):
* 21.5 Mbits/sec

Dynack:
* 28.9 Mbits/sec
