<title>mac80211: Turn AQL into an NL80211_EXT_FEATURE</title>

<id>911bde0fe5ccd7e55760be9d6dcc67a8850fcc12</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of just having an airtime flag in debugfs, turn AQL into a proper
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE, so drivers can turn it on when they are ready, and so
we also expose the presence of the feature to userspace.

This also has the effect of flipping the default, so drivers have to opt in
to using AQL instead of getting it by default with TXQs. To keep
functionality the same as pre-patch, we set this feature for ath10k (which
is where it is needed the most).

While we're at it, split out the debugfs interface so AQL gets its own
per-station debugfs file instead of using the 'airtime' file.

[Johannes:]
This effectively disables AQL for iwlwifi, where it fixes a number of
issues:
 * TSO in iwlwifi is causing underflows and associated warnings in AQL
 * HE (802.11ax) rates aren't reported properly so at HE rates, AQL could
   never have a valid estimate (it'd use 6 Mbps instead of up to 2400!)

This patch changes the ath9k_pci_owl_loader to use the
same iowrite32 memory accessor that ath9k_pci is using
to communicate with the PCI(e) chip.

This will fix endian issues that came up during testing
with loaned AVM Fritz!Box 7360 (Lantiq MIPS SoCs + AR9287).

Unless we sleep for a while before transitioning the MSA memory to WLAN
the MPSS.AT.4.0.c2-01184-SDM845_GEN_PACK-1 firmware triggers a security
violation fairly reliably. Unforutnately recovering from this failure
always results in the entire system freezing.

<title>ath10k: disable cpuidle during downloading firmware</title>

<content type='text'>
Downloading ath10k firmware needs a large number of IOs and
cpuidle's miss predictions make it worse. In the worst case,
resume time can be three times longer than the average on sdio.

This patch disables cpuidle during firmware downloading by
applying PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY in ath10k_download_fw().
