commit 9e5053ad9d590e095829a8bb07adbbdbd893f0f9 upstream.

A lot of new PCI IDs were added for the 9000 series.  Add them to the
list of supported PCI IDs.

commit 86a2b2043af79deff5cf000c5a08847faa4f2ee0 upstream.

Some devices use a shared clock which is very sensitive to variations
and cause trouble in some situations.  We need to set a bit in the phy
configuration to indicate that to the FW.  To make this generic, add a
extra_phy_config_flags element to the device configuration and OR it
into the phy_cfg before sending it to the firmware.  And also create a
set of configurations for devices that use shared clocks and need this
extra bit to be set.

[ Upstream commit 6362ab721ef5c4ecfa01f53ad4137d3d984f0c6c ]

We might erroneously get to error dumping code when the
device is already stopped.

In that case the driver will detect a defective value and will try to
reset the HW, assuming it is only a bus issue.  The driver than
proceeds with the dumping.

The result has two side effects:

1. The device won't be stopped again, since the transport status is
already stopped, so the device remains powered on while it actually
should be stopped.

2. The dump in that case is completely garbaged and useless.

Detect and avoid this.  It will also make debugging such issues
easier.

[ Upstream commit 992172e3aec19e5b0ea5b757ba40a146b9282d1e ]

When we are in a search cycle, we try different combinations
of parameters. Those combinations are called 'columns'.
When we switch to a new column, we first need to check if
this column has a suitable rate, if not, we can't try it.
This means we must not erase the statistics we gathered
for the previous column until we are sure that we are
indeed switching column.

The code that tries to switch to a new column first sets
a whole bunch of things for the new column, and only then
checks that we can find suitable rates in that column.
While doing that, the code mistakenly erased the rate
statistics. This code was right until
struct iwl_scale_tbl_info grew up for TPC.

Fix this to make sure we don't erase the rate statistics
until we are sure that we can indeed switch to the new
column.

Note that this bug is really harmless since it causes a
change in the behavior only when we can't find any rate
in the new column which should really not happen. In the
case we do find a suitable we reset the rate statistics
a few lines later anyway.

[ Upstream commit 0232d2cd7aa8e1b810fe84fb4059a0bd1eabe2ba ]

When getting HW rfkill we get stop_device being called from
two paths.
One path is the IRQ calling stop device, and updating op
mode and stack.
As a result, cfg80211 is running rfkill sync work that shuts
down all devices (second path).
In the second path, we eventually get to iwl_mvm_stop_device
which calls iwl_fw_dump_conf_clear-&gt;iwl_fw_dbg_stop_recording,
that access periphery registers.
The device may be stopped at this point from the first path,
which will result with a failure to access those registers.
Simply checking for the trans status is insufficient, since
the race will still exist, only minimized.
Instead, move the stop from iwl_fw_dump_conf_clear (which is
getting called only from stop path) to the transport stop
device function, where the access is always safe.
This has the added value, of actually stopping dbgc before
stopping device even when the stop is initiated from the
transport.

commit 943309d4aad6732b905f3f500e6e17e33c211494 upstream.

22000 devices (previously referenced as A000) can support
short transmit queues. This means that we have less DMA
descriptors (TFD) for those shorter queues.
Previous devices must still have 256 TFDs for each queue
even if those 256 TFDs point to fewer buffers.

When I introduced support for the short queues for 22000
I broke older devices by assuming that they can also have
less TFDs in their queues. This led to several problems:

1) the payload of the commands weren't unmapped properly
   which caused the SWIOTLB to complain at some point.
2) the hardware could get confused and we get hardware
   crashes.

commit b13f43a48571f0cd0fda271b5046b65f1f268db5 upstream.

We need to have a station and a queue for the monitor
interface to be able to inject traffic. We used to have
this traffic routed to the auxiliary queue, but this queue
isn't scheduled for the station we had linked to the
monitor vif.

Allocate a new queue, link it to the monitor vif's station
and make that queue use the BE fifo.
