Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.
With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.
To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.
For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.
For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.
Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.
Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.

In order to de-const variables simply casting through (void *) is
not enough: "cast from 'const .. *' to 'void *' drops const qualifier".
Cast through (uintptr_t) as well [1] to make this compile on systems
with more strict requirements.
In addition passing const void *data to dma_map_single() also
drops the (const) qualifier. De-constify on variable on assignment
which may be overwritten later. In either case the (void *) cast
to dma_map_single() is not needed (anymore) either.

If userspace installs a lot of multicast groups very quickly, then
we may run out of command queue space as we send the updates in an
asynchronous fashion (due to locking concerns), and the CPU can
create them faster than the firmware can process them. This is true
even when mac80211 has a work struct that gets scheduled.
Fix this by synchronizing with the firmware after sending all those
commands - outside of the iteration we can send a synchronous echo
command that just has the effect of the CPU waiting for the prior
asynchronous commands to finish. This also will cause fewer of the
commands to be sent to the firmware overall, because the work will
only run once when rescheduled multiple times while it's running.

iwlmei needs to know about the follwing events:
* Association
* De-association
* Country Code change
* SW Rfkill change
* SAR table changes
iwlmei can take the device away from us, so report the new
rfkill type when this happens.
Advertise the required data from the CSME firmware to the
usersapce: mostly, the AP that the CSME firmware is currently
associated to in case there is an active link protection
session.
Generate the HOST_ASSOC / HOST_DISSASSOC messages.
Don't support WPA1 (non-RSNA) for now.
Don't support shared wep either.
We can then determine the AUTH parameter by checking the AKM.
Feed the cipher from the key installation.
SW Rfkill will be implemented later when cfg80211 will
allow us to read the SW Rfkill state.

When we receive an association response, a significant amount
of time might have passed since we sent the corresponding
association request (mac80211 will wait up to 500ms for the TX
and then 100ms for the response after ACK was received). But
the time event is touched only when we send the assoc request,
so it might not have much time remaining, more easily causing
the (dreaded)
No beacon heard and the session protection is over already...
message.
Refactor iwl_mvm_mac_mgd_prepare_tx() and split out a new
function iwl_mvm_protect_assoc(), and call it on successful
association to extend the time event to the minimum time if
necessary.

When auth/assoc completes, we should remove session protection,
except when association is successful, where we need it until a
beacon is received from the AP.
In particular, in the case of assoc comeback, currently the session
protection event just times out, leading to confusing messages:
wlan0: 42:00:00:00:00:00 rejected association temporarily; comeback duration 1000 TU (1024 ms)
iwlwifi 0000:00:00.0: Not associated and the session protection is over already...
wlan0: Connection to AP 42:00:00:00:00:00 lost
wlan0: associate with 42:00:00:00:00:00 (try 2/3)
mac80211 never does anything on the "Connection ... lost" as it's
not even connected.
Removing the session protection when it's no longer needed removes
those confusing messages and lets the device do other things in the
allocated time.

When we have a P2P Device active, we attempt to only change the
PHY context it uses when we get a new remain-on-channel, if the
P2P Device is the only user of the PHY context.
This is fine if we're switching within a band, but if we're
switching bands then the switch implies a removal and re-add
of the PHY context, which isn't permitted by the firmware while
it's bound to an interface.
Fix the code to skip the unbind/release/... cycle only if the
band doesn't change (or we have old devices that can switch the
band on the fly as well.)

When doing scan while 6GHz channels are not enabled, the 6GHz band
is not scanned. Thus, if there are no APs on the 2GHz and 5GHz bands
(that will allow discovery of geographic location etc. that would
allow enabling the 6GHz channels) but there are non collocated APs
on 6GHz PSC channels these would never be discovered.
To overcome this, FW added support for performing passive UHB scan
in case no APs were discovered during scan on the 2GHz and 5GHz
channels.
Add support for enabling such scan when the following conditions are
met:
- 6GHz channels are supported but not enabled by regulatory.
- Station interface is not associated or less than a defined time
interval passed from the last resume or HW reset flows.
- At least 4 channels are included in the scan request
- The scan request includes the widlcard SSID.
- At least 50 minutes passed from the last 6GHz passive scan.
