This commit updates the BMPS exit path to be consistent with downstream in
terms of exiting BMPS mode. Downstream sets the flag to send a NULL data
frame to the host on exiting BMPS.
This will tell the AP to send any queued frames to the STA immediately.
Verified the relevant bit toggle in wireshark.

The firmware parameter LINK_FAIL_TX_CNT maps to the prima configuration
file parameter gLinkFailTxCnt and is described as:
quote: " If within gLinkFailTimeout period(values is mentioned in msec) if
FW doesn't receive acks for gLinkFailTxCnt number of packets, then
link will be disconnected."
The downstream description sets a minimum value of 1000 a maximum value of
60000 and a default value of 6000, however it appears that unless we
actually set this value deliberately firmware defaults it to 0.
Setting this value to non-zero results in the firmware doing link
monitoring. The working example from downstream paradoxically sets the
value to 200, here we opt to set the value to the minimum stipulated in the
configuration file 1000.
In conjunction with ieee80211_hw_set(wcn->hw, CONNECTION_MONITOR); this
change effects offload of link monitoring to the firmware.

In bmps mode, beacons are filtered, and firmware is in charge
of monitoring the beacons and report changes or loss.
mac80211 must be advertised about such change to prevent it's
internal timer based beacon monitor to report beacon loss.
Fix that by setting/clearing the IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
vif flag on bmps entry/exit.

This commit marks all smd.c functions that are only used inside of smd.c as
static. Previous commits added some VHT specific setup functions non-static
which is the right thing to do in terms of having granular git commits that
compile warning free. What we really want is for local not global scope on
those functions.
This patch makes the conversion from global to local scope.

This patch adds ieee802.11 VHT flags for the wcn3680b.
- RX_STBC1
- SU Beamformee
- MU Beamformee
- VHT80 SGI
- Single spatial stream
RX LDPC is declared as supported in the datasheet but not enabled at this
time.
After this patch is applied an AP should see the wcn3680 as an 802.11ac
capable device.

In order to send VHT parameters to wcn3680 we need to pass the extended V1
parameter structures to the firmware. These commands need to have the
version number set to 1.
This patch makes the conversion. The conversion consists of
1. Setting the version number for wcn3680 or leaving it at 0 otherwise
2. Setting the size of the packet header lower for wcn3620 and wcn3660
Once done all three chips can continue to use the same code to pass
parameters to their respective firmware. In the case of the wcn3680 the
passed structures will be slightly larger to accommodate communication of
VHT descriptors.

In order to pass 802.11ac VHT parameters from the SoC to wcn36xx we need to
use the V1 data structures associated with BSS and STA parameters.
The means of identifying a V1 data-structure is via the SMD version field.
This patch defines a INIT_HAL_MSG_V1() which operates the same way as
INIT_HAL_MSG() with the exception that it defines VERSION1 as opposed to
VERSION0.

This commit defines a firmware configuration for the wcn3680 which
represents a working downstream configuration. This configuration has been
successfully applied to the upstream driver with antecedent patches
resulting in the same or better through-put in comparison to the
downstream driver on the test hardware.

In order to get 802.11ac working the way we want, additional parameters
need to be passed down to the firmware.
This patch takes the full remaining set of parameters defined in the
downstream riva/inc/wlan_hal_cfg.h and imports them into hal.h with some
minor name length adjustments.
This addition will allow us to pass a larger firmware configuration set
later on.

This patch updates wcn36xx_smd_config_bss_v1() to update on internally
derived parameters only, specifically making use of STA v1 wrapper routines
previously added.
Once done we no longer need to pass a struct wcn36xx_hal_config_bss_req_msg
which gives us options in later patches to eliminate the kzalloc() in
wcn36xx_smd_config_bss entirely.

In order to pass VHT parameters to wcn3680 we need to use a super-set of
the V1 data-structures with additional VHT parameters tacked on.
This patch adds the additional fields to the STA and BSS parameter
structures.
Since neither wcn3620 nor wcn3660 support VHT the size of the passed
message is fixed to the previous message length. Subsequent changes will
differentiate between wcn3620/wcn3660 and wcn3680 which does use the larger
message size.

In order for the firmware to process extended V1 parameters with the
addtional VHT fields added we need to first enable the feature bit DOT11AC.
Once done the version number in the HAL message header will be acted upon
by the firmware.
Extended V1 parameters are a prerequisite for 802.11ac speeds since we
cannot communicate VHT parameters to the firmware absent the extended data
structures.

For whatever reason, when connected to an open/no-security BSS,
the wcn36xx controller in bmps mode does not forward 'wake-up'
beacons despite AP sends DTIM with station AID.
Meaning that AP is not able to wakeup the station and needs to wait
for the station to wakeup by its own (TX data, keep alive pkt...),
causing serious latency issues and unexpected deauth.
When connected to AP with encryption enabled, this issue does not occur.
So a simple workaround is to only enable bmps support in that case.
Ideally, it should be propertly fixed to allow bmps support with open
BSS, whatever the issue is at driver or firmware level.
Tested on wcn3620 and wcn3680.

By default, after associated to an AP, the wcn36xx bitrate adjustment
algorithm starts sending data at 1Mbps, and increases the rate slowly
(1Mbps, 2Mbps, 6Mbps...) over the further TX packets.
Starting at 1Mbps usually causes the initial throughput to be really
low and the maximum possible bitrate to be reached after about hundreed
of TX packets.
That can be improved by setting a different initial bitrate for data
packets via the ENABLE_DYNAMIC_RA_START_RATE configuration value, this
value can be a legacy or MCS rate.
This patch sets the starting bitrate value to MCS-5, which seems to be
a good compromise given it can be quickly adjusted low or up if necessary.
(and based on what I observed in the wild with some mobile devices)

For software-driven scan, rely on mac80211 software scan instead
of internal driver implementation. The internal implementation
cause connection trouble since it keep the antenna busy during
the entire scan duration, moreover it's only a passive scanning
(no probe request). Therefore, let mac80211 manages sw scan.
Note: we fallback to software scan if firmware does not report
scan offload support or if we need to scan the 5Ghz band (currently
not supported by the offload scan...).
