This updates mac80211 to version 6.1.97-1. This code is based on Linux
6.1.97 and contains all fixes included in the upstream wireless
subsystem from that kernel version. This includes many bugfixes and also
some security fixes.
The removed patches are already integrated in upstream Linux 6.1.97 or
in backports.
The following patches were integrated in upstream Linux:
ath11k/0013-wifi-ath11k-synchronize-ath11k_mac_he_gi_to_nl80211_.patch
ath11k/0035-wifi-ath11k-Use-platform_get_irq-to-get-the-interrup.patch
ath11k/0036-wifi-ath11k-fix-SAC-bug-on-peer-addition-with-sta-ba.patch
ath11k/0047-wifi-ath11k-fix-deinitialization-of-firmware-resourc.patch
ath11k/0053-wifi-ath11k-fix-writing-to-unintended-memory-region.patch
ath11k/0060-wifi-ath11k-Ignore-frags-from-uninitialized-peer-in-.patch
ath11k/0065-wifi-ath11k-fix-tx-status-reporting-in-encap-offload.patch
ath11k/0067-wifi-ath11k-Fix-SKB-corruption-in-REO-destination-ri.patch
ath11k/0069-wifi-ath11k-fix-registration-of-6Ghz-only-phy-withou.patch
ath11k/0080-wifi-ath11k-add-support-default-regdb-while-searchin.patch
ath11k/0085-wifi-ath11k-fix-memory-leak-in-WMI-firmware-stats.patch
ath11k/0086-wifi-ath11k-Add-missing-check-for-ioremap.patch
ath11k/0096-wifi-ath11k-fix-boot-failure-with-one-MSI-vector.patch
subsys/337-wifi-mac80211-fix-race-condition-on-enabling-fast-xm.patch
The following patches were integrated in upstream backports:
ath11k/901-wifi-ath11k-pci-fix-compilation-in-5.16-and-older.patch
build/080-resv_start_op.patch
build/110-backport_napi_build_skb.patch
The following files are missing in backports, we do not have to remove
them any more. Some were already missing before some were removed in
this update:
include/linux/cordic.h
include/linux/crc8.h
include/linux/eeprom_93cx6.h
include/linux/wl12xx.h
include/net/ieee80211.h
backport-include/linux/bcm47xx_nvram.h
include/linux/ath9k_platform.h
include/net/bluetooth/
backports ships a dummy Mediatek wed header for older kernel versions.
We backported the feature in our kernel, remove the dummy header:
backport-include/linux/soc/mediatek/mtk_wed.h
Remove header files for subsystems used form the mainline kernel:
include/trace/events/qrtr.h
include/net/rsi_91x.h
backport-include/linux/platform_data/brcmnand.h

ath11k is the upstream driver for Qualcomm 802.11ax radios, both for the
internal AHB and PCI based cards.
This commit does however only provide PCI support while AHB will follow
but its SoC specific so it will require an OpenWrt target first.
It differs a bit from ath10k as it requires stuff like QRTR, MHI and QMI
helpers.
PCI variant requires qrtr-mhi and mhi-bus which backports do provide,
however we are dropping those in a patch as they will conflict with
support for the AHB variant as that one requires qrtr-smd which in turn
requires RPMSG and GLINK and its not feasable to provide those in
backports as they are really SoC specific.
QRTR and MHI in kernel 5.10 are not usable and backporting the changes
is not easy as they have changed drastically from 5.10 to 5.15 ath11k will
only be available on targets that use kernel 5.15.
