27014da237 mac80211: Expose support for ath9k Dynack
Enables support for Dynack feature.

When a remote station is far away, we need to compensate for the distance
by allowing more time for an ACK to arrive back before issueing a retransmission.
Currently, it needs to be set fixed to indicate the maximum distance the remote
station will ever be.

While this mostly works for static antennae, it introduces 2 issues:
- If the actual distance is less, speed is reduced due to a lot of wates wait-time
- If the distance becomes greater, retries start to occur and comms can get lost.

Allowing to set it dynamically using dynack ensures the best possible tradeoff
between speed vs distance.

This feature is currently only supported in ath9k.
it is also disabled by default.

Enabling it can be done in 2 ways:
- issue cmd:  iw phy0 set distance auto
- sending the NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_DYN_ACK flag to mac80211 driver using netlink

Disabling it can be done by providing a valid fixed value.

To give an idea of a practical example:

In my usecase, we have mesh wifi device installed on ships/platforms.
Currently, the coverage class is set at 12000m fixed.

When a vessel moved closer (ex. 1500m), the measured link capacity was a lot
lower compared to setting the coverage class fixed to 1500m

Dynack completely solved this, nearly providing double the bandwidth at closer range
compared to the fixed setting of 12000m being used.

Also when a vessel sailed to a distance greater than the fixed setting,
communication was lost as the ACK's never arrived within the max allowed timeframe.

Actual distance: 6010m
iperf 60s run avg

Fixed 12150m:  31 Mbit/s
Dynack:        58 Mbit/s

Fixed 6300m:   51 Mbit/s
Dynack:        59 Mbit/s

Fixed 3000m:   13 Mbit/s  (lots of retries)
Dynack:        58 Mbit/s

Actual distance: 1504m
iperf 60s run avg

Fixed 12150m:  31 Mbit/s
Dynack:        86 Mbit/s

Fixed 6300m:   55 Mbit/s
Dynack:        87 Mbit/s

Fixed 3000m:   67 Mbit/s
Dynack:        87 Mbit/s

the variable $wpa to decide whether encrypted meshpoint is requested by the

Backport patches that separate spectral scan support from general debugfs
support of ath9k/ath10k; this allows to remove the dependency on
KERNEL_RELAY from these driver packages even with debugfs enabled and
avoids the memory footprint of the relay buffers allocated by ath9k/ath10k
even when they aren't used at all.

The KERNEL_RELAY dependency is moved to a new config symbol that enables

This was compile and runtime tested with ath9k, ath10k and b43

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/backports/backports.git
from tag v4.14-rc2-1

Then run this:
./gentree.py --git-revision v4.14-rc2 --clean  <path to linux repo> ../backports-4.14-rc2-1

This also adapts the ath10k-ct and mt76 driver to the changed cfg80211
APIs and syncs the nl80211.h file in iw with the new version from
backports-4.14-rc2.

mac80211, hostapd: always explicitly set beacon interval
One of the latest mac80211 updates added sanity checks, requiring the
beacon intervals of all VIFs of the same radio to match. This often broke
AP+11s setups, as these modes use different default intervals, at least in
some configurations (observed on ath9k).

Instead of relying on driver or hostapd defaults, change the scripts to
always explicitly set the beacon interval, defaulting to 100. This also
applies the beacon interval to 11s interfaces, which had been forgotten
before. VIF-specific beacon_int setting is removed from hostapd.sh.

Fixes FS#619.

Make brcmfmac depend on !TARGET_uml.
Technically, brcmfmac could be built for uml because only SDIO support
won't work on that target. However, selectively avoiding the dependency
propagation of !TARGET_uml from kmod-mmc to avoid including a reference
to BRCMFMAC_SDIO doesn't work.

In practice, brcmfmac is completely useless on uml, so let's just

5f8f8a3661 base-files, mac80211, broadcom-wl: wifi detection and configuration
Currently, the wifi detection script is executed as part of
the (early) boot process. Pluggable wifi USB devices, which
are inserted at a later time are not automatically
detected and therefore they don't show up in LuCI.

A user has to deal with wifi detection manually, or restart
the router.

However, the current "sleep 1" window - which the boot
process waits for wifi devices to "settle down" - is too
short to detect wifi devices for some routers anyway.

For example, this can happen with USB WLAN devices on the
WNDR4700. This is because the usb controller needs to load
its firmware from UBI and initialize, before it can operate.

The issue can be seen on a BT HomeHub 5A as well as soon as
the caldata are on an ubi volume. This is because the ath9k
card has to be initialized by owl-loader first. Which has to
wait for the firmware extraction script to retrieve the pci
initialization values inside the caldata.

This patch moves the wifi configuration to hotplug scripts.
For mac80211, the wifi configuration will now automatically
run any time a "ieee80211" device is added. Likewise
broadcom-wl's script checks for new "net" devices which
have the "wl$NUMBER" moniker.

Issues with spawning multiple interface configuration - in
case the detection script is run concurrently - have been
resolved by using a named section for the initial
configuration. Concurrent configuration scripts will now
simply overwrite the same existing configuration.

A workaround which preserves the "sleep 1" window for just
the first boot has been added. This allows the existing
brcm47xx boot and mvebu uci-default scripts to correctly
setup the initial mac addresses and regulatory domain.

And finally, the patch renames the "wifi detect" into
"wifi config". As the script no longer produces any output
that has to be redirected or appended to the configuration
file.

Thanks to Martin Blumenstingl for helping with the implementation
and testing of the patch.
