We're currently sending NEW_WIPHY events for renames (which
is a bit odd, but now can't be changed), but also send them
for really new devices that register.
Also send DEL_WIPHY events when a device is removed, the
event ID for this was already reserved.

Channels in 2.4GHz band overlap, this means that if we
send a probe request on channel 1 and then move to channel
2, we will hear the probe response on channel 2. In this
case, the RSSI will be lower than if we had heard it on
the channel on which it was sent (1 in this case).
The firmware / low level driver can parse the channel in
the DS IE or HT IE and compensate the RSSI so that it will
still have a valid value even if we heard the frame on an
adjacent channel. This can be done up to a certain offset.
Add this offset as a configuration for the low level driver.
A low level driver that can compensate the low RSSI in this
case should assign the maximal offset for which the RSSI
value is still valid.

Users may need information about the expected throughput
towards a given peer.
This value is supposed to consider the size overhead
generated by the 802.11 header.
This value is exported in kbps through the get_station() API
by including it into the station_info object.
Moreover, it is sent to user space when replying to the
nl80211 GET_STATION command.
This information will be useful to the batman-adv module
which will use it for its new metric computation.

This also propagates through the drivers.
The orinoco driver uses the cfg80211 API structs for internal

Change the type of NL80211_ATTR_CSA_C_OFF_BEACON and
NL80211_ATTR_CSA_C_OFF_PRESP to be NLA_BINARY which allows
userspace to use beacons and probe responses with
multiple CSA counters.
This isn't breaking the API since userspace can
continue to use nla_put_u16 for this attributes, which
is equivalent to a single element u16 array.
In addition advertise max number of supported CSA counters.

There is no need to pass NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED when calling
cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required() since we always already have the
interface type. So, pass the actual interface type instead.
Additionally, have cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required() WARN if the passed
interface type is NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED, so we can detect
problems more easily.

When the driver fails during HW restart or resume, the whole
stack goes into a very confused state with interfaces being
up while the hardware is down etc.
Address this by shutting down everything; we'll run into a

the whole stack get messed up.

Current code checks if the 20MHz bandwidth is allowed for
particular channel -- if it is not, the channel is disabled.
Since we need to use 5/10 MHz channels, this code is modified in
the way that the default bandwidth to check is 5MHz. If the
maximum bandwidth allowed by the channel is smaller than 5MHz,
the channel is disabled. Otherwise the channel is used and the
flags are set according to the bandwidth allowed by the channel.

Since there are frequency bands (e.g. 5.9GHz) allowing channels
with only 10 or 5 MHz bandwidth, this patch adds attributes that
allow keeping track about this information.
When channel attributes are reported to user-space, make sure to
not break old tools, i.e. if the 'split wiphy dump' is enabled,
report the extra attributes (if present) describing the bandwidth
restrictions. If the 'split wiphy dump' is not enabled,
completely omit those channels that have flags set to either
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_10MHZ or IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_20MHZ.
Add the check for new bandwidth restriction flags in
cfg80211_chandef_usable() to comply with the restrictions.

At some locations, channels 149-165 are considered a single
bundle, while at some other locations, e.g., Indonesia, channels
149-161 are considered a single bundle, while channel 165 belongs
to a different bundle. This means that:
1. A station interface connection to an AP on channel 165 allows
the instantiation of a P2P GO on channels 149-165.
2. A station interface connection to an AP on channels 149-161
does NOT allow the instantiation of a P2P GO on channel 165.

This allows processing of the last regulatory request when
we determine its still pending. Without this if a regulatory
request failed to get processed by userspace we wouldn't
be able to re-process it later. An example situation that can
lead to an unprocessed last_request is enabling cfg80211 to
be built-in to the kernel, not enabling CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB
and the CRDA binary not being available at the time the udev
rule that kicks of CRDA triggers.
In such a situation we want to let some cfg80211 triggers
eventually kick CRDA for us again. Without this if the first
cycle attempt to kick off CRDA failed we'd be stuck without
the ability to change process any further regulatory domains.
cfg80211 will trigger re-processing of the regulatory queue
whenever schedule_work(®_work) is called, currently this
happens when:
* suspend / resume
* disconnect
* a beacon hint gets triggered (non DFS 5 GHz AP found)
* a regulatory request gets added to the queue
We don't have any specific opportunistic late boot triggers
to address a late mount of where CRDA resides though, adding
that should be done separately through another patch.
Without an opportunistic fix then this fix relies at least
one of the triggeres above to happen.

Allow GO operation on a channel marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_GO_CONCURRENT
iff there is an active station interface that is associated to
an AP operating on the same channel in the 2 GHz band or the same UNII band
(in the 5 GHz band). This relaxation is not allowed if the channel is
marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_RADAR.
Note that this is a permissive approach to the FCC definitions,
that require a clear assessment that the device operating the AP is
an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection and DFS capabilities.
It is assumed that such restrictions are enforced by user space.
Furthermore, it is assumed, that if the conditions that allowed for
the operation of the GO on such a channel change, i.e., the station
interface disconnected from the AP, it is the responsibility of user
space to evacuate the GO from the channel.

The FCC are clarifying some soft configuration requirements,
which among other include the following:
1. Indoor operation, where a device can use channels requiring indoor
operation, subject to that it can guarantee indoor operation,
i.e., the device is connected to AC Power or the device is under
the control of a local master that is acting as an AP and is
connected to AC Power.
2. Concurrent GO operation, where devices may instantiate a P2P GO
while they are under the guidance of an authorized master. For example,
on a channel on which a BSS is connected to an authorized master, i.e.,
with DFS and radar detection capability in the UNII band.
See https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/comments/GetPublishedDocument.html?id=327&tn=528122
Add support for advertising Indoor-only and GO-Concurrent channel
properties.

Wdev->ssid_len has already been set in cfg80211_connect() and is equal
to connect->ssid_len. Use wdev->ssid_len instead of connect->ssid_len
so it will be consistent with previous ssid assignment statement.
If bss is found in cfg80211_get_conn_bss(), wdev->conn->state is set
to CFG80211_CONN_AUTHENTICATE_NEXT in there. So it's not needed to set
it manually to CFG80211_CONN_AUTHENTICATE_NEXT if bss is found in that
function.

rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is
carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. However, in the
case that NULL is assigned there's no structure to initialize so using
RCU_INIT_POINTER instead is safe and more efficient.

When dynamically creating interfaces from userspace, e.g. for P2P usage,
such interfaces are usually owned by the process that created them, i.e.
wpa_supplicant. Should wpa_supplicant crash, such interfaces will often
cease operating properly and cause problems on restarting the process.
To avoid this problem, introduce an ownership concept for interfaces. If
an interface is owned by a netlink socket, then it will be destroyed if
the netlink socket is closed for any reason, including if the process it
belongs to crashed. This gives us a race-free way to get rid of any such
interfaces.
