mac80211: ath11k: sync with ath-next
Synchronize the ath11k backports with the current ath-next tree.

This replaces the management TLV pending fix with the upstreamed one,
fixes traffic flooding when AP and monitor modes are used at the same time,
fixes QCN9074 always showing -95 dBm for station RSSI in dumps,
fixes potential crash on boot if spectral scan is enabled due to writing to
unitialized memory and adds 11d scan offloading for WCN6750 and WCN6855.

Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: Optimize 6 GHz scan time
Currently, time taken to scan all supported channels on WCN6750
is ~8 seconds and connection time is almost 10 seconds. WCN6750
supports three Wi-Fi bands (i.e., 2.4/5/6 GHz) and the numbers of
channels for scan come around ~100 channels (default case).
Since the chip doesn't have support for DBS (Dual Band Simultaneous),
scans cannot be parallelized resulting in longer scan times.
Among the 100 odd channels, ~60 channels are in 6 GHz band. Therefore,
optimizing the scan for 6 GHz channels will bring down the overall
scan time.
WCN6750 firmware has support to scan a 6 GHz channel based on co-located
AP information i.e., RNR IE which is found in the legacy 2.4/5 GHz scan
results. When a scan request with all supported channel list is enqueued
to the firmware, then based on WMI_SCAN_CHAN_FLAG_SCAN_ONLY_IF_RNR_FOUND
scan channel flag, firmware will scan only those 6 GHz channels for which
RNR IEs are found in the legacy scan results.
In the proposed design, based on NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_COLOCATED_6GHZ scan
flag, driver will set the WMI_SCAN_CHAN_FLAG_SCAN_ONLY_IF_RNR_FOUND flag
for non-PSC channels. Since there is high probability to find 6 GHz APs
on PSC channels, these channels are always scanned. Only non-PSC channels
are selectively scanned based on cached RNR information from the legacy
scan results.
If NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_COLOCATED_6GHZ is not set in the scan flags,
then scan will happen on all supported channels (default behavior).
With these optimizations, scan time is improved by 1.5-1.8 seconds on
WCN6750. Similar savings have been observed on WCN6855.
Tested-on: WCN6750 hw1.0 AHB WLAN.MSL.1.0.1-00887-QCAMSLSWPLZ-1
Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.16
