/**
 * DOC: Introduction
 *
 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
 * drivers.
 */

/**
 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
 *
 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
 * tasklet function.
 *
 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
 *       use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
 */

/**
 * DOC: Warning
 *
 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
 */

/**
 * DOC: Frame format
 *
 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
 * hardware.
 *
 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
 *
 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
 *
 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
 */

/**
 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
 *
 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
 *
 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
 * suspend.
 *
 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

 * @dtim_period: num of beacons before the next DTIM, for beaconing,
 *      valid in station mode only if after the driver was notified
 *      with the %BSS_CHANGED_BEACON_INFO flag, will be non-zero then.
 * @sync_tsf: last beacon's/probe response's TSF timestamp (could be old
 *      as it may have been received during scanning long ago). If the
 *      HW flag %IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY is set, then this can

 *      association when a beacon is received (which is notified with the
 *      %BSS_CHANGED_DTIM flag.). See also sync_dtim_count important notice.
 * @sync_device_ts: the device timestamp corresponding to the sync_tsf,
 *      the driver/device can use this to calculate synchronisation
 *      (see @sync_tsf). See also sync_dtim_count important notice.
 * @sync_dtim_count: Only valid when %IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY

 *      the current band.
 * @beacon_rate: associated AP's beacon TX rate
 * @mcast_rate: per-band multicast rate index + 1 (0: disabled)
 * @bssid: The BSSID for this BSS
 * @enable_beacon: whether beaconing should be enabled or not
 * @chandef: Channel definition for this BSS -- the hardware might be

 * @ht_operation_mode: HT operation mode like in &struct ieee80211_ht_operation.
 *      This field is only valid when the channel type is one of the HT types.
 * @cqm_rssi_thold: Connection quality monitor RSSI threshold, a zero value
 *      implies disabled
 * @cqm_rssi_hyst: Connection quality monitor RSSI hysteresis
 * @arp_addr_list: List of IPv4 addresses for hardware ARP filtering. The
 *      may filter ARP queries targeted for other addresses than listed here.
 *      The driver must allow ARP queries targeted for all address listed here
 *      to pass through. An empty list implies no ARP queries need to pass.
 * @arp_addr_cnt: Number of addresses currently on the list. Note that this
 *      may be larger than %IEEE80211_BSS_ARP_ADDR_LIST_LEN (the arp_addr_list
 *      array size), it's up to the driver what to do in that case.
 * @qos: This is a QoS-enabled BSS.
 * @idle: This interface is idle. There's also a global idle flag in the
 *      hardware config which may be more appropriate depending on what
 *      your driver/device needs to do.
 * @ps: power-save mode (STA only). This flag is NOT affected by
 *      offchannel/dynamic_ps operations.
 * @ssid: The SSID of the current vif. Valid in AP and IBSS mode.
 * @ssid_len: Length of SSID given in @ssid.
 * @hidden_ssid: The SSID of the current vif is hidden. Only valid in AP-mode.
 * @txpower: TX power in dBm
 * @txpower_type: TX power adjustment used to control per packet Transmit

 *      802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
 *      beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
 *      station
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
 *      because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
 *      avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
 *      firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
 *      went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
 *      the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
 *      that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
 *      since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
 *      hardware queue.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
 *      is for the whole aggregation.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
 *      so consider using block ack request (BAR).
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
 *      set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
 *      be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK: Internal to mac80211. Used to indicate
 *      that a frame can be transmitted while the queues are stopped for
 *      off-channel operation.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
 *      used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
 *      it can be sent out.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
 *      used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
 *      used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
 *      frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
 *      be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
 *      transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
 *      by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
 *      queue gets full.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
 *      after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
 *      be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_MLME_CONN_TX: This frame was transmitted by the MLME
 *      code for connection establishment, this indicates that its status
 *      should kick the MLME state machine.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
 *      MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
 *      status to user space)
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
 *      frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
 *      the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
 *      in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
 *      handled properly by the device.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
 *      testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
 *      TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
 *      This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
 *      frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
 *      when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
 *      an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
 *      the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
 *      PS-Poll responses.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
 *      This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
 *      the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
 *      would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
 *      monitor injection).
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_NOACK_TRANSMITTED: A frame that was marked with
 *      IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK has been successfully transmitted without
 *      any errors (like issues specific to the driver/HW).
 *      This flag must not be set for frames that don't request no-ack
 *      behaviour with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK.
 *
 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
 *       forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

/**
 * enum mac80211_rx_flags - receive flags
 *
 * These flags are used with the @flag member of &struct ieee80211_rx_status.
 * @RX_FLAG_MMIC_ERROR: Michael MIC error was reported on this frame.
 *      Use together with %RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED.
 * @RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED: This frame was decrypted in hardware.
 * @RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED: the Michael MIC is stripped off this frame,
 *      verification has been done by the hardware.
 * @RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED: The IV/ICV are stripped from this frame.
 *      If this flag is set, the stack cannot do any replay detection
 *      hence the driver or hardware will have to do that.
 * @RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC: Set this flag if the FCS check failed on
 *      the frame.
 * @RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC: Set this flag if the PCLP check failed on
 *      the frame.
 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
 *      field) is valid and contains the time the first symbol of the MPDU
 *      was received. This is useful in monitor mode and for proper IBSS
 *      merging.
 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_END: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
 *      field) is valid and contains the time the last symbol of the MPDU
 *      (including FCS) was received.
 * @RX_FLAG_SHORTPRE: Short preamble was used for this frame
 * @RX_FLAG_HT: HT MCS was used and rate_idx is MCS index
 * @RX_FLAG_VHT: VHT MCS was used and rate_index is MCS index
 * @RX_FLAG_40MHZ: HT40 (40 MHz) was used
 * @RX_FLAG_SHORT_GI: Short guard interval was used
 * @RX_FLAG_NO_SIGNAL_VAL: The signal strength value is not present.
 *      Valid only for data frames (mainly A-MPDU)
 * @RX_FLAG_HT_GF: This frame was received in a HT-greenfield transmission, if
 *      the driver fills this value it should add %IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_MCS_HAVE_FMT
 *      to hw.radiotap_mcs_details to advertise that fact
 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DETAILS: A-MPDU details are known, in particular the reference
 *      number (@ampdu_reference) must be populated and be a distinct number for
 *      each A-MPDU
 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_REPORT_ZEROLEN: driver reports 0-length subframes
 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_IS_ZEROLEN: This is a zero-length subframe, for
 *      monitoring purposes only
 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_LAST_KNOWN: last subframe is known, should be set on all
 *      subframes of a single A-MPDU
 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_IS_LAST: this subframe is the last subframe of the A-MPDU
 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_ERROR: A delimiter CRC error has been detected
 *      on this subframe
 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_KNOWN: The delimiter CRC field is known (the CRC
 *      is stored in the @ampdu_delimiter_crc field)
 * @RX_FLAG_LDPC: LDPC was used
 * @RX_FLAG_STBC_MASK: STBC 2 bit bitmask. 1 - Nss=1, 2 - Nss=2, 3 - Nss=3
 * @RX_FLAG_10MHZ: 10 MHz (half channel) was used
 * @RX_FLAG_5MHZ: 5 MHz (quarter channel) was used
 * @RX_FLAG_AMSDU_MORE: Some drivers may prefer to report separate A-MSDU
 *      subframes instead of a one huge frame for performance reasons.
 *      All, but the last MSDU from an A-MSDU should have this flag set. E.g.
 *      if an A-MSDU has 3 frames, the first 2 must have the flag set, while
 *      the 3rd (last) one must not have this flag set. The flag is used to
 *      deal with retransmission/duplication recovery properly since A-MSDU
 *      subframes share the same sequence number. Reported subframes can be
 *      either regular MSDU or singly A-MSDUs. Subframes must not be
 *      interleaved with other frames.
 * @RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_VENDOR_DATA: This frame contains vendor-specific
 *      radiotap data in the skb->data (before the frame) as described by
 *      the &struct ieee80211_vendor_radiotap.

 *
 * These flags are used for communication about keys between the driver

 *
 * @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV: This flag should be set by the
 *      driver to indicate that it requires IV generation for this
 *      particular key. Setting this flag does not necessarily mean that SKBs
 *      will have sufficient tailroom for ICV or MIC.
 * @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_MMIC: This flag should be set by
 *      the driver for a TKIP key if it requires Michael MIC
 *      generation in software.
 * @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE: Set by mac80211, this flag indicates
 *      that the key is pairwise rather then a shared key.
 * @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX: This flag should be set by the driver for a
 *      CCMP/GCMP key if it requires CCMP/GCMP encryption of management frames
 *      (MFP) to be done in software.
 * @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PUT_IV_SPACE: This flag should be set by the driver
 *      if space should be prepared for the IV, but the IV
 *      itself should not be generated. Do not set together with
 *      @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV on the same key. Setting this flag does
 *      not necessarily mean that SKBs will have sufficient tailroom for ICV or
 *      MIC.
 * @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RX_MGMT: This key will be used to decrypt received
 *      management frames. The flag can help drivers that have a hardware
 *      crypto implementation that doesn't deal with management frames
 *      properly by allowing them to not upload the keys to hardware and
 *      fall back to software crypto. Note that this flag deals only with
 *      RX, if your crypto engine can't deal with TX you can also set the
 *      %IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX flag to encrypt such frames in SW.
 * @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV_MGMT: This flag should be set by the
 *      driver for a CCMP/GCMP key to indicate that is requires IV generation
 *      only for managment frames (MFP).
 * @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RESERVE_TAILROOM: This flag should be set by the
 *      driver for a key to indicate that sufficient tailroom must always
 *      be reserved for ICV or MIC, even when HW encryption is enabled.

 *
 * These flags are used to indicate hardware capabilities to
 * the stack. Generally, flags here should have their meaning
 * done in a way that the simplest hardware doesn't need setting
 * any particular flags. There are some exceptions to this rule,
 * however, so you are advised to review these flags carefully.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL:
 *      The hardware or firmware includes rate control, and cannot be
 *      controlled by the stack. As such, no rate control algorithm
 *      should be instantiated, and the TX rate reported to userspace
 *      will be taken from the TX status instead of the rate control
 *      algorithm.
 *      Note that this requires that the driver implement a number of
 *      callbacks so it has the correct information, it needs to have
 *      the @set_rts_threshold callback and must look at the BSS config
 *      @use_cts_prot for G/N protection, @use_short_slot for slot
 *      timing in 2.4 GHz and @use_short_preamble for preambles for
 *      CCK frames.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_RX_INCLUDES_FCS:
 *      Indicates that received frames passed to the stack include
 *      the FCS at the end.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING:
 *      Some wireless LAN chipsets buffer broadcast/multicast frames
 *      for power saving stations in the hardware/firmware and others
 *      rely on the host system for such buffering. This option is used
 *      to configure the IEEE 802.11 upper layer to buffer broadcast and
 *      multicast frames when there are power saving stations so that
 *      the driver can fetch them with ieee80211_get_buffered_bc().
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_SLOT_INCAPABLE:
 *      Hardware is not capable of short slot operation on the 2.4 GHz band.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_PREAMBLE_INCAPABLE:
 *      Hardware is not capable of receiving frames with short preamble on
 *      the 2.4 GHz band.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC:
 *      Hardware can provide signal values but we don't know its units. We
 *      expect values between 0 and @max_signal.
 *      If possible please provide dB or dBm instead.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM:
 *      Hardware gives signal values in dBm, decibel difference from
 *      one milliwatt. This is the preferred method since it is standardized
 *      between different devices. @max_signal does not need to be set.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SPECTRUM_MGMT:
 *      Hardware supports spectrum management defined in 802.11h
 *      Measurement, Channel Switch, Quieting, TPC
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_AGGREGATION:
 *      Hardware supports 11n A-MPDU aggregation.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS:
 *      Hardware has power save support (i.e. can go to sleep).
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK:
 *      Hardware requires nullfunc frame handling in stack, implies
 *      stack support for dynamic PS.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS:
 *      Hardware has support for dynamic PS.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_MFP_CAPABLE:
 *      Hardware supports management frame protection (MFP, IEEE 802.11w).
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS:
 *      Hardware can provide ack status reports of Tx frames to
 *      the stack.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR:
 *      The hardware performs its own connection monitoring, including
 *      periodic keep-alives to the AP and probing the AP on beacon loss.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC:
 *      This device needs to get data from beacon before association (i.e.
 *      dtim_period).
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PER_STA_GTK: The device's crypto engine supports
 *      per-station GTKs as used by IBSS RSN or during fast transition. If
 *      the device doesn't support per-station GTKs, but can be asked not
 *      to decrypt group addressed frames, then IBSS RSN support is still
 *      possible but software crypto will be used. Advertise the wiphy flag
 *      only in that case.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS: When operating in AP mode the device
 *      autonomously manages the PS status of connected stations. When
 *      this flag is set mac80211 will not trigger PS mode for connected
 *      stations based on the PM bit of incoming frames.
 *      Use ieee80211_start_ps()/ieee8021_end_ps() to manually configure
 *      the PS mode of connected stations.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMPDU_SETUP_IN_HW: The device handles TX A-MPDU session
 *      setup strictly in HW. mac80211 should not attempt to do this in
 *      software.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF: The driver would like to be informed of
 *      a virtual monitor interface when monitor interfaces are the only
 *      active interfaces.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_NO_AUTO_VIF: The driver would like for no wlanX to
 *      be created.  It is expected user-space will create vifs as
 *      desired (and thus have them named as desired).
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL: The driver wants to control which of the
 *      crypto algorithms can be done in software - so don't automatically
 *      try to fall back to it if hardware crypto fails, but do so only if
 *      the driver returns 1. This also forces the driver to advertise its
 *      supported cipher suites.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL: The driver wants to control per-interface
 *      queue mapping in order to use different queues (not just one per AC)
 *      for different virtual interfaces. See the doc section on HW queue
 *      control for more details.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE: The driver supports using a rate
 *      selection table provided by the rate control algorithm.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_P2P_DEV_ADDR_FOR_INTF: Use the P2P Device address for any
 *      P2P Interface. This will be honoured even if more than one interface
 *      is supported.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY: Use sync timing from beacon frames
 *      only, to allow getting TBTT of a DTIM beacon.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_HT_CCK_RATES: Hardware supports mixing HT/CCK rates
 *      and can cope with CCK rates in an aggregation session (e.g. by not
 *      using aggregation for such frames.)
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_CHANCTX_STA_CSA: Support 802.11h based channel-switch (CSA)
 *      for a single active channel while using channel contexts. When support
 *      is not enabled the default action is to disconnect when getting the
 *      CSA frame.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CLONED_SKBS: The driver will never modify the payload
 *      or tailroom of TX skbs without copying them first.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_SINGLE_HW_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS: The HW supports scanning on all bands
 *      in one command, mac80211 doesn't have to run separate scans per band.

/**
 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
 *
 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
 *
 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
 *
 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
 *
 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
 *
 * Note that in the case that the @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL flag is
 * set, mac80211 will not automatically fall back to software crypto if
 * enabling hardware crypto failed. The set_key() call may also return the
 * value 1 to permit this specific key/algorithm to be done in software.
 *
 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
 *
 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
 * based on the receive flags.
 *
 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
 * keys.
 *
 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
 * handler.
 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
 *
 * The set_default_unicast_key() call updates the default WEP key index
 * configured to the hardware for WEP encryption type. This is required
 * for devices that support offload of data packets (e.g. ARP responses).
 */

/**
 * DOC: Powersave support
 *
 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
 *
 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
 * it finds traffic directed to it.
 *
 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
 *
 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
 *
 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
 *
 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
 * periods.
 *
 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
 *
 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
 * %IEEE80211_VIF_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
 * uapsd parameter in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
 *
 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
 */

/**
 * DOC: Beacon filter support
 *
 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
 *
 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
 * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
 *
 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
 *
 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
 *  - a list of information element IDs
 *  - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
 *
 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
 * vendor information elements.
 *
 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
 *
 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
 *
 *
 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
 *
 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
 * signal strength threshold checking.

/**
 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
 *
 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve

 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
 *
 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
 * hardware flags.
 *
 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
 * turned off otherwise.
 *
 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
 */

/**
 * DOC: Frame filtering
 *
 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
 *
 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
 *
 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
 *
 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
 * or dropped.
 *
 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
 * the flag, but not clear it.
 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
 */

/**
 * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
 *
 * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
 * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
 * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
 *
 * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
 * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
 * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
 * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
 * the driver code.
 *
 * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
 * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
 * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
 * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
 * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
 * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
 * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
 *
 * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
 * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
 * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
 * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
 * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
 * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
 * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
 * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
 * @sta_notify callback.
 *
 * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
 * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
 * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
 * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
 * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
 * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
 * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
 * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
 * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
 * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
 * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
 * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
 * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
 * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
 *
 * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
 *
 * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
 * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
 * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
 * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
 * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
 * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
 * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
 * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
 * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
 * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
 * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
 *
 * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
 * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
 * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
 * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
 * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
 * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
 * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
 * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
 * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
 * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
 * to help the @more_data parameter is passed to tell the driver if
 * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
 * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
 * buffers for those TIDs contain.
 *
 * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
 * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
 * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
 * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
 * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
 * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp()
 * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
 *
 * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
 * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
 * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
 * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
 * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp() in this case.
 *
 * Note that if the driver ever buffers frames other than QoS-data
 * frames, it must take care to never send a non-QoS-data frame as
 * the last frame in a service period, adding a QoS-nulldata frame
 * after a non-QoS-data frame if needed.

/**
 * DOC: HW queue control
 *
 * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
 * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
 * was problematic for a few reasons:
 * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
 * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
 * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
 *
 * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
 * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
 * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
 *
 * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
 * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
 * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
 * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
 * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
 * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
 * the hardware queue.
 * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
 * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
 *
 * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
 * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
 * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
 * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
 * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
 *
 * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
 * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
 * after-DTIM queue for AP:   8
 * off-channel queue:         9
 *
 * It would then set up the hardware like this:
 *   hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
 *
 * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
 *   vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
 *   vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
 *   vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
 *   vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
 *   vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
 * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
 *
 * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
 * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
 *
 * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
 * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
 * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
 * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.

 *
 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the

 *
 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set

 *      by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
 *      mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
 *      honour this flag if possible.
 *
 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames (except for PS Poll), if PROMISC_IN_BSS
 *      is not set then only those addressed to this station.

/**
 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
 *
 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
 *
 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
 *      skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
 *      The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
 *      configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
 *      preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
 *      Must be atomic.
 *
 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
 *      is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
 *      frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
 *      Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
 *      or zero.
 *      When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
 *      to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
 *      is added.
 *      Must be implemented and can sleep.
 *
 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
 *      is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
 *      it must turn off frame reception.)
 *      May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
 *      an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
 *      you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
 *      Must be implemented and can sleep.
 *
 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
 *      stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
 *      ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
 *      configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
 *      reconfigured at resume time.
 *      The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
 *      wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
 *      supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
 *      must return 1 from this function.
 *
 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
 *      now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
 *      functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
 *      to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
 *      will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
 *
 * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
 *      modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
 *      supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
 *      in suspend().
 *
 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
 *      enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
 *      and @stop must be implemented.
 *      The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
 *      the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
 *      interface is given in the conf parameter.
 *      The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
 *      negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
 *      Must be implemented and can sleep.
 *
 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
 *      is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
 *      switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
 *      Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
 *      found by the interface iteration callbacks.
 *
 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
 *      The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
 *      and no monitor interfaces are present.
 *      When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
 *      must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
 *      the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
 *      MAC address of the device going away.
 *      Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
 *
 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
 *      function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
 *      This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
 *      if it does. The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
 *      parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
 *      level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
 *      This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
 *      for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
 *      of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
 *      can sleep.
 *
 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
 *      This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
 *      to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
 *
 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
 *      See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
 *      This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
 *
 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
 *      must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
 *
 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
 *      This callback is only called between add_interface and
 *      remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
 *      is enabled.
 *      Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
 *      This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
 *      which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
 *      The callback must be atomic.
 *
 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
 *      host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
 *      necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
 *      After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
 *      userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
 *
 * @set_default_unicast_key: Set the default (unicast) key index, useful for
 *      WEP when the device sends data packets autonomously, e.g. for ARP
 *      offloading. The index can be 0-3, or -1 for unsetting it.
 *
 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
 *      the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
 *      configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
 *      registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
 *      that power save is disabled.
 *      The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
 *      entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
 *      at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
 *      (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
 *      When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
 *      note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
 *      any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
 *      The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
 *      but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
 *      ieee80211_scan_completed().
 *      This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
 *      scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
 *      specific intervals.  The driver must call the
 *      ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
 *      This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
 *
 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
 *      In this case, ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() must not be called.
 *
 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
 *      is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
 *      The mac_addr parameter allows supporting NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR,
 *      the driver may set the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR flag if it
 *      can use this parameter. The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
 *      software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
 *      this notification.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
 *      Returns zero if statistics are available.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
 *      callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
 *      and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
 *      The callback must be atomic.
 *
 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
 *      if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
 *      implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
 *      AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
 *      station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Note that after the callback
 *      returns it isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected;
 *      no RCU grace period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing
 *      the station. See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
 *      This callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
 *      when a station is added to mac80211's station list. This callback
 *      and @sta_remove_debugfs should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS
 *      conditional. This callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sta_remove_debugfs: Remove the debugfs files which were added using
 *      @sta_add_debugfs. This callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
 *      associated station, AP,  IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
 *      in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
 *      %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
 *
 * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
 *      station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
 *      This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
 *      It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
 *      up the list of states. Also note that after the callback returns it
 *      isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected - no RCU grace
 *      period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing the station.
 *      See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sta_pre_rcu_remove: Notify driver about station removal before RCU
 *      synchronisation. This is useful if a driver needs to have station
 *      pointers protected using RCU, it can then use this call to clear
 *      the pointers instead of waiting for an RCU grace period to elapse
 *      in @sta_state.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
 *      used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
 *      from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
 *      in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
 *      uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
 *      otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
 *      Must be atomic.
 * @sta_rate_tbl_update: Notifies the driver that the rate table changed. This
 *      is only used if the configured rate control algorithm actually uses
 *      the new rate table API, and is therefore optional. Must be atomic.
 *
 * @sta_statistics: Get statistics for this station. For example with beacon
 *      filtering, the statistics kept by mac80211 might not be accurate, so
 *      let the driver pre-fill the statistics. The driver can fill most of
 *      the values (indicating which by setting the filled bitmap), but not
 *      all of them make sense - see the source for which ones are possible.
 *      Statistics that the driver doesn't fill will be filled by mac80211.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
 *      bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
 *      Returns a negative error code on failure.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
 *      this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
 *      required function.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
 *      Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
 *      required function.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
 *      with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
 *      function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
 *      TSF synchronization.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
 *      This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
 *      used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
 *      Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
 *      The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
 *      the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
 *      ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
 *      is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
 *      that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
 *      The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
 *      %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
 *      buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
 *      may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
 *      nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
 *      buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
 *      possible with a buf_size of 8:
 *       - TX: 1.....7
 *       - RX:  2....7 (lost frame #1)
 *       - TX:        8..1...
 *      which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
 *      buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
 *       - TX:       1 or 18 or 81
 *      Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
 *
 *      Returns a negative error code on failure.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
 *
 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
 *      need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
 *      and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
 *      in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
 *      accordingly; coverage class equals to -1 to enable ACK timeout
 *      estimation algorithm (dynack). To disable dynack set valid value for
 *      coverage class. This callback is not required and may sleep.
 *
 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command. The passed @vif may
 *      be %NULL. The callback can sleep.
 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
 *      that the hardware queues are empty. The @queues parameter is a bitmap
 *      of queues to flush, which is useful if different virtual interfaces
 *      use different hardware queues; it may also indicate all queues.
 *      If the parameter @drop is set to %true, pending frames may be dropped.
 *      Note that vif can be NULL.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
 *      switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
 *      callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
 *      completion of the channel switch.
 *
 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
 *      Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
 *      reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
 *      (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
 *
 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
 *
 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
 *      call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
 *      that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
 *      offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
 *      normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
 *      duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
 *      ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
 *      Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
 *      must be accepted in this case.
 *      This callback may sleep.
 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
 *      aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
 *
 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
 *
 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
 *
 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
 *      queues before entering power save.
 *
 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
 *      when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 * @event_callback: Notify driver about any event in mac80211. See
 *      &enum ieee80211_event_type for the different types.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
 *      parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
 *      sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
 *      to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
 *      Note that if the @more_data parameter is %false the driver must check
 *      if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
 *      the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
 *      the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
 *      more-data bit must always be set.
 *      The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
 *      from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
 *      In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
 *      @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
 *      this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
 *      on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
 *      period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
 *      responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
 *      In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
 *      bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
 *      at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
 *      setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
 *      service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
 *      on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
 *      ieee80211_sta_eosp() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
 *      This callback must be atomic.
 * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
 *      to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
 *      via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
 *      released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
 *      and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
 *      frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
 *      them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
 *      on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
 *      bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
 *      ieee80211_sta_eosp() function.
 *      The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
 *      frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
 *      This callback must be atomic.
 *
 * @get_et_sset_count:  Ethtool API to get string-set count.
 *
 * @get_et_stats:  Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
 *
 * @get_et_strings:  Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
 *      and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
 *
 * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
 *      before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
 *      bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
 *      yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
 *      transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
 *      powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
 *      management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
 *      driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
 *      and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
 *      The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
 *      mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
 *      The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
 *
 * @mgd_protect_tdls_discover: Protect a TDLS discovery session. After sending
 *      a TDLS discovery-request, we expect a reply to arrive on the AP's
 *      channel. We must stay on the channel (no PSM, scan, etc.), since a TDLS
 *      setup-response is a direct packet not buffered by the AP.
 *      mac80211 will call this function just before the transmission of a TDLS
 *      discovery-request. The recommended period of protection is at least
 *      2 * (DTIM period).
 *      The callback is optional and can sleep.
 *
 * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
 * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
 * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
 *      may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
 *      channel context with different settings
 * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
 *      to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
 * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
 *      unbound from vif.
 * @switch_vif_chanctx: switch a number of vifs from one chanctx to
 *      another, as specified in the list of
 *      @ieee80211_vif_chanctx_switch passed to the driver, according
 *      to the mode defined in &ieee80211_chanctx_switch_mode.
 *
 * @start_ap: Start operation on the AP interface, this is called after all the
 *      information in bss_conf is set and beacon can be retrieved. A channel
 *      context is bound before this is called. Note that if the driver uses
 *      software scan or ROC, this (and @stop_ap) isn't called when the AP is
 *      just "paused" for scanning/ROC, which is indicated by the beacon being
 *      disabled/enabled via @bss_info_changed.
 * @stop_ap: Stop operation on the AP interface.
 *
 * @reconfig_complete: Called after a call to ieee80211_restart_hw() and
 *      during resume, when the reconfiguration has completed.
 *      This can help the driver implement the reconfiguration step (and
 *      indicate mac80211 is ready to receive frames).
 *      This callback may sleep.
 *
 * @ipv6_addr_change: IPv6 address assignment on the given interface changed.
 *      Currently, this is only called for managed or P2P client interfaces.
 *      This callback is optional; it must not sleep.
 *
 * @channel_switch_beacon: Starts a channel switch to a new channel.
 *      Beacons are modified to include CSA or ECSA IEs before calling this
 *      function. The corresponding count fields in these IEs must be
 *      decremented, and when they reach 1 the driver must call
 *      ieee80211_csa_finish(). Drivers which use ieee80211_beacon_get()
 *      get the csa counter decremented by mac80211, but must check if it is
 *      1 using ieee80211_csa_is_complete() after the beacon has been
 *      transmitted and then call ieee80211_csa_finish().
 *      If the CSA count starts as zero or 1, this function will not be called,
 *      since there won't be any time to beacon before the switch anyway.
 * @pre_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
 *      before a channel switch procedure is started (ie. when a STA
 *      gets a CSA or an userspace initiated channel-switch), allowing
 *      the driver to prepare for the channel switch.
 * @post_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
 *      after a channel switch procedure is completed, allowing the
 *      driver to go back to a normal configuration.
 *
 * @join_ibss: Join an IBSS (on an IBSS interface); this is called after all
 *      information in bss_conf is set up and the beacon can be retrieved. A
 *      channel context is bound before this is called.
 * @leave_ibss: Leave the IBSS again.
 *
 * @get_expected_throughput: extract the expected throughput towards the
 *      specified station. The returned value is expressed in Kbps. It returns 0
 *      if the RC algorithm does not have proper data to provide.
 *
 * @get_txpower: get current maximum tx power (in dBm) based on configuration
 *      and hardware limits.
 *
 * @tdls_channel_switch: Start channel-switching with a TDLS peer. The driver
 *      is responsible for continually initiating channel-switching operations
 *      and returning to the base channel for communication with the AP. The
 *      driver receives a channel-switch request template and the location of
 *      the switch-timing IE within the template as part of the invocation.
 *      The template is valid only within the call, and the driver can
 *      optionally copy the skb for further re-use.
 * @tdls_cancel_channel_switch: Stop channel-switching with a TDLS peer. Both
 *      peers must be on the base channel when the call completes.
 * @tdls_recv_channel_switch: a TDLS channel-switch related frame (request or
 *      response) has been received from a remote peer. The driver gets
 *      parameters parsed from the incoming frame and may use them to continue
 *      an ongoing channel-switch operation. In addition, a channel-switch
 *      response template is provided, together with the location of the
 *      switch-timing IE within the template. The skb can only be used within
 *      the function call.
