b2bbef7eb4 ath10k-ct: Update firmware
This firmware has only small changes from the last commit, but
it does have an important fix for at least some PTK rekey logic.

The old firmware would have issues if the driver managed to set
a clear key while encryption was 'enabled'.  This new firmware for
both wave-1 and wave-2 should not be susceptible to this type of
bug any more.

And remove mesh-bcast IE flag from wave-2, still need more work before
we can enable that flag in ath10k-ct firmware it seems.

d6939baac2 ath10k-ct: Update firmware to latest.
Wave-1 firmware has a fix for 'addba' not finding the peer.  Thanks to Hauke
for finding and reporting this.

Wave-2 firmware has a fix for leaking a peer multicast key when a monitor device
is created.

And I re-ordered the '4019' firmware images in the Makefile to match the order
of the others.  No functional change for that reorder.

d15b09aab8 ath10k-ct: Add htt-mgt variants of ath10k-ct firmware.
The HTT-MGT variants transport management frames over the
normal HTT tx path, just like data frames.  This saves
limitted WMI buffers which can become depleted if lots of
management frames become stuck in TX queues due to peer
that went away.

In addition, at least for the wave-1 firmware, htt-mgt is
required in order for 802.11r (fast roaming) authentication
to function properly.

The htt-mgt firmware requires the use of the ath10k-ct
driver.  Normal non-htt-mgt ath10k-ct firmware should work
with stock drivers.

545a561785 ath10k-ct: Update wave-1 and wave-2 firmware to latest.
This updates to latest ath10k-ct firmware.  Hopefully we are
at the end of the development cycle for this firmware release,
so these should be stable.

wave-1 changes since last release:

Release 20

  *  Allow flushing peer when deleting.  Hopefully this will allow the
     peer delete command to happen in a reasonable amount of time even
     if the RF environment is busy (or peer has died).
     To enable this, set the high flag in the mac-addr second word in the
     ath10k driver near end of the ath10k_wmi_op_gen_peer_delete method:

     cmd->peer_macaddr.word1 |= __cpu_to_le32(0x80000000);

  *  Attempt to fix crash seen in resmgr-ocs, appearantly due to list corruption.
     Use a temporary list instead of trying to rely on for-each-safe.

  *  Add flag to tx-descriptor to allow driver to request no-ack on data
     frames.  This is bit 15 on the flag1 field (previously un-used).

  *  Add option to support specifying the tx-rate-code and retry count on
     a per-packet basis.  Only a single series is supported at this time.
     Useful mainly for radiotap monitor-tx type testing at this point.

  *  Fix crash on startup when chip is at -40 deg C and calibration fails.  Instead
     of asserting, just keep retrying calibration, which appears to start working
     after a few minutes (when the chip warms up).

  *  Allow reporting per-chain rssi for management frames.  We pack the values into
     empty space in the mgt-frame wmi header.  This will only be enabled if the driver
     requests it, since otherwise the driver is assumed to not understand the new API.
     ath10k-ct drivers that support this feature will automatically enable it.

  *  A customer reports a case that appears to be the hardware not properly detecting
     end of AMPDU, so frames were being mis-delivered to the wrong peer.  Attempt to
     work around this, and in doing so, clean up a bunch of void* abuse in the block-ack
     reordering code (could not ever confirm there was a problem in this area).

  *  Re-work the rx-mem logic to be less complicated and to use less memory.

  *  Attempt to fix crash that appearanty happens because the driver can sometimes
     delete a vdev in 'up' state.

  *  Attempt to fix hung scan state machine issues.

  *  Fix crash in tx path due to un-initialized memory.

wave-2 changes since last release:

Release 10

  *  Fix an assert related to tx scheduling.  This hopefully fixes
     what appears to be a regression that I added some time back.

  *  Enable CSI reporting for 9984, and maybe 9888/9886.  Only in
     non-trimmed builds.

  *  Other stability improvements, including regression fixes from
     some tricky bugs introduced in earlier releases.

  *  Allow compiling for IPQ4019 chipset.

  *  Firmware will now send txbf frames to the host (driver) if the
     TXBF (0xF00000001) set-special feature is enabled, or when the radio
     is in monitor mode.  But, if the frame is consumed by the txbf_cv
     logic, then the pkt cannot be delivered to the host in this manner.  Instead,
     a WMI event will be sent and host can find the txbf_cv data in shared
     memory.  See ath10k_wmi_event_txbf_cv_mesg() in ath10k-ct driver.

  *  Support rx-all-mgt option.  When enabled, the firmware will deliver all
     management frames that it can to the host.  No RX filters are changed
     when this option is enabled.

  *  Fix at least some problems with sending tx-beamforming frames to SU-MIMO
     peers.  Looks like this was a regression in my code.

  *  Fix a crash in rate-ctrl due to nss mismatch.  This was something I introduced
     while trying to fix other bugs in rate-ctrl some time back.

  *  Attempt to fix a sw-peer-key object leak in IBSS mode.  The peer key code
     is very complex, and shares some pointers as union members.  I think I fixed
     at least some of the issues, but would not be surprised if more exist.

  *  Improve ath10k user guide to document CT firmware features:
     https://www.candelatech.com/ath10k-ug.php

  *  Add ct-special option to configure the txbf sounding time.  See ath10k-ug.php

  *  Fix and allow the driver to tell the firmware to send sounding frames.  See ath10k-ug.php
     In further testing, this seems to fail much of the time, and I am not sure why.
     Disabling this in diet (trimmed) builds.

  *  Fix crashes related to deleting peers while they are in power-save mode.  Reported
     by LEDE user on r7800 with 9984 NIC.
  *  Make rate-ctrl txbf probe work better.  If enabled, the rate-ctrl logic will periodically
     send out probes at an NSS that can to txbf.  Previously, txbf probes would not reliably happen
     if both AP and peer had the same nss (ie, 2x2 talking to 2x2).  To enable this feature, you
     need to enable the fwtest-cmdid number 20.

  *  Report rx-timeout error counters.  These were previously un-reported, though the
     field existed in the wmi struct already.

  *  txbf:  Ignore frames not destined for us.  If NIC is in promisc mode, it
     could acquire and process NDPA frames that were not destined for it.  Check
     the dest-MAC and ignore frames not for us (pass them up the stack for monitor
     mode instead of save them in the peer's rate-ctrl logic.)

  *  Port ping-pong crash handling and othe related features to IPQ4019 target.  It should
     now act similar to 9984 in this regard.

  *  Fix a few asserts related to txbf and tx-seq logic.

  *  Add custom-stats support, for rx-reorder-stats.  Similar to what I did for wave-1.

  *  Disable AMSDU for IBSS.  This now matches what I did for peregrine.  It seems to
     work better this way, though I did not debug it in detail.

  *  Enable the set-special command to re-enable AMSDU for IBSS if user wants to experiment.

  *  Fix bug where dbglog did not disable IRQs, so if you made dbglog messages from the IRQ
     handler, it could cause corruption that could crash the firmware and/or corrupt the log
     message buffers.

  *  Don't assert if there are no buffer descriptors for RX of non-data frame.

  *  Retry any stuck block-ack sessions every 20 seconds instead of just disabling BA for
     ever when we get too many failures.

  *  Fix SGI flag when reporting tx-rate info.  The flag moved since wave-1 days, and
     I did not notice that when I ported my changes forward to wave-2.

  *  Allow disabling special CCA handling for IBSS txqs.  Earlier testing indicated this
     might improve throughput in some testing on 9984 chips in IBSS mode, but subsequent
     testing looks about the same without it.  Since I do not really understand what this
     setting exists for, leave it at upstream defaults.  A new set-special API command (0x12)
     can be used to enable this hack for testing.  Setting 0x1 bit disables special CCA handling
     for non-beacon IBSS txqs, setting 0x2 bit disables it for beacon queues as well.

  *  Add MCAST-BCAST feature flag.  This tells driver we do not need a monitor interface
     to do MESH.

  *  When calculating the rx-address filter (affects ACK & BLOCK-ACK, among other things),
     to not add in monitor interfaces if other interfaces are up.  There is no need for
     a monitor device to ACK frames.

21486911ac firmware: ath10k-firmware: update QCA9984 firmware to 10.4-3.5.3-00053
This patch updates ath10k-firmware to use the
firmware-5.bin_10.4-3.5.3-00053 firmware for the QCA9984.

The update fixes "ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: Invalid VHT mcs 15 peer
stats" spamming the kernel ring buffer at very high frequencies, but
introduces the new "ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: Unknown eventid: 36925".
This new warning doesn't appear to cause problems in practice and is
only emitted relatively rarely, not causing dmesg to overflow within
minutes.

Tested on the ZyXEL NBG6817; early feedback also suggests this firmware
to work well (with the same fixes and caveats) on the Netgear r7800 as
well.

d8c559d614 ath10k-ct firmware: Tx-hang and EAPOL handling fixes for wave-2 firmware.
Changes since last LEDE release include:

  *  Fix key-setting bug that broke sending the EAPOL 2/4 in some cases.  This was a
     bug I introduced some time back while trying to fix .11r and simplify the key
     handling logic.  (Patch to wpa_supplicant fixed the race with sending the 4/4
     and setting the key...un-patched supplicant will still have this race and the 4-way
     auth will not work as reliably.)

  *  Increase amount of active-tids that can be scheduled.  This fixes a tx-stall
     seen with many station vdevs.

  *  Fix bug in upstream code that would cause the maximum peer to never be scheduled
     for tx.

36167ae46c ath10k-firmware: update board data for qca9984
Current board-2.bin file for qca9984 in Kvalo's repo is from branch
10.4-3.2, while board-2.bin file in code-aurora repo is newer and
corresponds to the branch 10.4-3.3, the same as recently updated firmware.

Considering that it's better to have all parts from the same branch
we are updating board-2.bin as well.

0ee964f284 ath10k-firmware: update qca9984 firmware
A new firmware that is available on code-aurora repository is newer
than in Kvalo's repo.

Taking into account that firmwares that are in Kvalo's repo are considered
to be tested by internal QCA team, this one seems to be more stable
and fixes this bug:
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: received unexpected tx_fetch_ind event: in
push mode

At least i havent faced it for a while in contradiction to current version.

Thus switching firmware source for qca9984 until it or a newer version
gets into Kvalo's repo.

7747fac375 ath10k-firmware: untangle CT firmware filenames, fix conflicts
CT firmware files use the same filename with a different URL for
different chips. Since all files end up in dl/, filenames need to be
unique as well.
Add a chip prefix to the output filename to fix this issue.

The 10.1 includes a good many stability fixes related to the effort of
backporting upstream 10.2 firmware.  Also enables 802.1q vlan support.
Successfully tested on apu2.

The 10.4 firmwares including new backported code as well as stability
fixes.  10.4 has been tested on Fedora x86-64 platforms, but not on LEDE
specifically since I had issues compiling LEDE for my 9980/9984 AP hardware.

1ffb7e47be Latest ath10k CT 988X firmware (beta-18).
*  Backport much of the 10.2 firmware features from upstream QCA driver.
     This includes ANI support, adaptive CCA, tx-hang workarounds,
     and lots of other things.
     Not all of this may be enabled at this point, and more code waits to
     be backported as time and motivation allows.

  *  Fix some rate-control issues where ath10k in station mode (at least), would
     sometimes get stuck at low rates.  This appeared to be a probe related
     state machine issue in the firmware, so I added some timeout logic to kick
     the state machine if it gets stuck.  This signicantly improves throughput
     tests with many stations.

  *  Support configuring WMI WD timeout using SET_SPECIAL API.

  *  Properly configure the rx-mask on bootup to work around problem found
     by Mr. Kazior.  This should remove the need to add the driver hack he
     posted.

  *  Allow configuring pdev failed-retry threshold.  This is how many consecutive
     tx failures the firmware will allow before resetting the wifi chip (not a full
     firmware crash).
