The ath patch number is already large and adding other patch for ath11k
will add more confusion with the patch numbering.
Since the support of ath11k based device is imminent, prepare the mac80211
ath patch dir and split it in the dedicated ath5k, ath9k, ath10k and ath11k
(empty for now).

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.

When transmitting to a receiver in dynamic SMPS mode, all transmissions that
use multiple spatial streams need to be sent using CTS-to-self or RTS/CTS to
give the receiver's extra chains some time to wake up.
This fixes the tx rate getting stuck at <= MCS7 for some clients, especially
Intel ones, which make aggressive use of SMPS.

The vendor driver does things differently based on what it finds in the
SoC's CHIP_VER register, which should tell whether this is MT7620N or
MT7620A (PKG) and probably also the revision (VER) and most likely
also something about the silicon implementer (ECO).
Introduce codepaths just like the ones in the vendor driver to handle
the different chips properly.
Some of those paths are most likely dead code and left-overs from FPGA
versions or early prototypes of the chip. It'd thus be great if people
can post their kernel logs, at least the line telling the chip version
and eco, so we know what's actually out there in the wild -- all I
could find is
[ 0.000000] SoC Type: Ralink MT7620A ver:2 eco:6
and
[ 0.000000] SoC Type: Ralink MT7620N ver:2 eco:6
which would make things easier, as then we really just need to know
whether it's MT7620N or MT7620A and not care about FPGA or prototypes
with ver <= 1 and eco <= 2.

Before, only frames with a maximum size of 1528 bytes could be
transmitted between two 802.11s nodes.
For batman-adv for instance, which adds its own header to each frame,
we typically need an MTU of at least 1532 bytes to be able to transmit
without fragmentation.
This patch now increases the maxmimum frame size from 1528 to 1656
bytes.
Tested with two ath10k devices in 802.11s mode, as well as with
batman-adv on top of 802.11s with forwarding disabled.

If we know that we have an encrypted link (based on having had
a key configured for TX in the past) then drop all data frames
in the key selection handler if there's no key anymore.
This fixes an issue with mac80211 internal TXQs - there we can
buffer frames for an encrypted link, but then if the key is no
longer there when they're dequeued, the frames are sent without
encryption. This happens if a station is disconnected while the
frames are still on the TXQ.
Detecting that a link should be encrypted based on a first key
having been configured for TX is fine as there are no use cases
for a connection going from with encryption to no encryption.
With extended key IDs, however, there is a case of having a key
configured for only decryption, so we can't just trigger this
behaviour on a key being configured.

Hence remove errornous line 5281 to make the driver actually
execute the correct initialization routine for MT7620 chips.
As it was requested by Stanislaw Gruszka remove setting values of
MIMO_PS_CFG and TX_PIN_CFG. MIMO_PS_CFG is responsible for MIMO
power-safe mode (which is disabled), hence we can drop setting it.
TX_PIN_CFG is set correctly in other functions, and as setting this
value breaks some devices, rather don't set it here during init, but
only modify it later on.

In non-ETSI regulatory domains scan is blocked when operating channel
is a DFS channel. For ETSI, however, once DFS channel is marked as

Therefore a scan can be done without any impact on the availability

Close cooperation with Lorenzo Bianconi resulted
in these patches which fix all remaining seen issues
when using dynack.
Fix link losses when:
- Late Ack's are not seen or not present
- switching from too low static coverage class to dynack on a live link
These are fixed by setting the Ack Timeout/Slottime to
the max possible value for the currently used channel width when
a new station has been discovered.
When traffic flows, dynack is able to adjust to optimal values
within a few packets received (typically < 1 second)
These changes have been thoroughly tested on ~60 offshore devices

To do not brake HW restart we should keep initialization vectors data.
I assumed that on start the data is already initialized to zeros, but
that not true on some scenarios and we should clear it. So add
additional flag to check if we are under HW restart and clear IV's
data if we are not.
Patch fixes AP mode regression.

This fixes a bug introduced in backports from kernel 5.1 which makes
ath10k crash on QCA9984 when a station connects. The FW sends a airtime
report, but this station is not yet fully registered and a NULL pointer
is used.

The removed patches were applied upstream.
The type of the RT2X00_LIB_EEPROM config option was changed to bool,
because boolean is an invalid value and the new kconfig system
complained about this.

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.

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.
