Some drivers that do their own sequence number allocation (e.g. ath9k, mwlwifi) rely
on being able to modify params->ssn on starting tx ampdu sessions.
This was broken by a change that modified it to use sta->tid_seq[tid] instead.

The nl80211_set_wiphy() function was changed between kernel 5.11 and
5.12 to take the rdev->wiphy lock which should be freed at the end
again. The 500-mac80211_configure_antenna_gain.patch added some code
which just returned in some cases without unlocking. This resulted in a
deadlock with brcmfmac.
This patch fixes this by also jumping to the out label in case we want
to leave the function.
This fixes a hanging system when brcmfmac is in use. I do not know why
we do not see this with other driver.
The kernel returns very useful debug details when setting these OpenWrt
configuration options:
CONFIG_KERNEL_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y
CONFIG_KERNEL_PROVE_LOCKING=y

When __ieee80211_select_queue is called, skb->cb has not been cleared yet,
which means that info->control.flags can contain garbage.
In some cases this leads to IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_DONT_REORDER being set, causing
packets marked for other queues to randomly end up in BE instead.

This backports version 5.11.22 and later does not support kernel
versions < 4.4, this allows us to remove some patches too.

In the current state, nvmem cells are only detected on platform device.
To quickly fix the problem, we register the affected problematic driver
with the of_platform but that is more an hack than a real solution.
Backport from net-next the required patch so that nvmem can work also
with non-platform devices and rework our current patch.
Drop the mediatek and dsa workaround and rework the ath10k patches.
Rework every driver that use the of_get_mac_address api.

We need to skip sampling if the next sample time is after jiffies, not before.
This patch fixes an issue where in some cases only very little sampling (or none
at all) is performed, leading to really bad data rates

The removed patches were integrated upstream.
The brcmf_driver_work workqueue was removed in brcmfmac with kernel
5.10.42, the asynchronous call was covered to a synchronous call. There
is no need to wait any more.
This part was removed manually from this patch:

From the patch series description:
Several security issues in the 802.11 implementations were found by
Mathy Vanhoef (New York University Abu Dhabi), who has published all
the details at
https://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/usenix2021.pdf
Specifically, the following CVEs were assigned:
* CVE-2020-24586 - Fragmentation cache not cleared on reconnection
* CVE-2020-24587 - Reassembling fragments encrypted under different
keys
* CVE-2020-24588 - Accepting non-SPP A-MSDU frames, which leads to
payload being parsed as an L2 frame under an
A-MSDU bit toggling attack
* CVE-2020-26139 - Forwarding EAPOL from unauthenticated sender
* CVE-2020-26140 - Accepting plaintext data frames in protected
networks
* CVE-2020-26141 - Not verifying TKIP MIC of fragmented frames
* CVE-2020-26142 - Processing fragmented frames as full frames
* CVE-2020-26143 - Accepting fragmented plaintext frames in
protected networks
* CVE-2020-26144 - Always accepting unencrypted A-MSDU frames that
start with RFC1042 header with EAPOL ethertype
* CVE-2020-26145 - Accepting plaintext broadcast fragments as full
frames
* CVE-2020-26146 - Reassembling encrypted fragments with non-consecutive
packet numbers
* CVE-2020-26147 - Reassembling mixed encrypted/plaintext fragments
In general, the scope of these attacks is that they may allow an
attacker to
* inject L2 frames that they can more or less control (depending on the
vulnerability and attack method) into an otherwise protected network;
* exfiltrate (some) network data under certain conditions, this is
specific to the fragmentation issues.
A subset of these issues is known to apply to the Linux IEEE 802.11
implementation (mac80211). Where it is affected, the attached patches
fix the issues, even if not all of them reference the exact CVE IDs.
In addition, driver and/or firmware updates may be necessary, as well
as potentially more fixes to mac80211, depending on how drivers are
using it.
Specifically, for Intel devices, firmware needs to be updated to the
most recently released versions (which was done without any reference
to the security issues) to address some of the vulnerabilities.
To have a single set of patches, I'm also including patches for the
ath10k and ath11k drivers here.
We currently don't have information about how other drivers are, if
at all, affected.
