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
all interconnected using mesh over IBSS and dynack enabled on all.
Distances between devices varied from <100m up to ~35km

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.

If no mcast_rate is set for the wifi-iface then there is no rate_idx (0)
set for the bss. This breaks for example 5GHz meshpoint interfaces because
0 maps to a CCK rate (11Mbit/s).

Add support for Multi-AP to the UCI configuration. Every wifi-iface gets
an option 'multi_ap'. For APs, its value can be 0 (multi-AP support
disabled), 1 (backhaul AP), 2 (fronthaul AP), or 3 (fronthaul + backhaul
AP). For STAs, it can be 0 (not a backhaul STA) or 1 (backhaul STA, can
only associate with backhaul AP).
Also add new optional parameter to wps_start ubus call of
wpa_supplicant to indicate that a Multi-AP backhaul link is required.

Issues a wmi command to firmware when multicast rate change is received with the
new BSS_CHANGED_MCAST_RATE flag. Also fixes the incorrect fixed_rate setting
for CCK rates which got introduced with addition of ath10k_rates_rev2 enum.
By default the firmware uses 1Mbps and 6Mbps rate for management packets
in 2G and 5G bands respectively. But when the user selects different
basic rates from the userspace, we need to send the management
packets at the lowest basic rate selected by the user.

Remove 980-rt2x00-reduce-power-consumption-on-mt7620.patch which in
combination with the most recently added patch reportedly causes TX
power to be too weak.
"without patches rssi on receiver is ~ -23dBm with 980 about -35dBm,
with both patches drops below -40dBm. with 987 only ~-28dBm"
We may need to reconsider this once we have implemented TSSI.
