<title>ath10k: cache calibration data when the core is stopped</title>

<id>f67b107d4ceddcf7aa65b706aaaf50d68edb52a6</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 0b8e3c4ca29f ("ath10k: move cal data len to hw_params") broke retrieving
the calibration data from cal_data debugfs file. The length of file was always
zero. The reason is:

    static ssize_t ath10k_debug_cal_data_read(struct file *file,
                                          char __user *user_buf,
                                          size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
    {
        struct ath10k *ar = file-&gt;private_data;
        void *buf = file-&gt;private_data;

This is obviously bogus, private_data cannot contain both struct ath10k and the
buffer. Fix it by caching calibration data to ar-&gt;debug.cal_data. This also
allows it to be accessed when the device is not active (interface is down).

The cal_data buffer is fixed size because during the first firmware probe we
don't yet know what will be the lenght of the calibration data. It was simplest
just to use a fixed length. There's a WARN_ON() in
ath10k_debug_cal_data_fetch() if the buffer is too small.

Tested with qca988x and firmware 10.2.4.70.56.

ath9k RNG will dominates all the noise sources from the real HW
RNG, disable it by default. But we strongly recommand to enable
it if the system without HW RNG, especially on embedded systems.

<title>ath10k: fix copy engine 5 destination ring stuck</title>

Firmware is running watchdog timer for tracking copy engine ring index
and write index. Whenever both indices are stuck at same location for
given duration, watchdog will be trigger to assert target. While
updating copy engine destination ring write index, driver ensures that
write index will not be same as read index by finding delta between these
two indices (CE_RING_DELTA).

HTT target to host copy engine (CE5) is special case where ring buffers
will be reused and delta check is not applied while updating write index.
In rare scenario, whenever CE5 ring is full, both indices will be referring
same location and this is causing CE ring stuck issue as explained
above. This issue is originally reported on IPQ4019 during long hour stress
testing and during veriwave max clients testsuites. The same issue is
also observed in other chips as well. Fix this by ensuring that write
index is one less than read index which means that full ring is
available for receiving data.

<title>ath10k: Ignore SWBA event for a vif if its marked for no beacon</title>

Ignore processing further in SWBA event scheduled for a vif, if mac80211
has marked the particular vif for stop beaconing and brought the vdev
down in 'ath10k_control_beaconing'. This should potentially avoid ath10k
warning/error messages while running continuous wifi down/up with max
number of vaps configured. Found this change during code walk through
and going through other beacon configuration related functions in ath10k
