====================
wireless-drivers fixes for 4.16

Some fixes for 4.16, only for iwlwifi and brcmfmac this time. All
pretty small.

iwlwifi

* fix an issue with the multicast queue

* fix IGTK handling

* fix some missing return value checks

* add support for a HW workaround for issues on some platforms

* a couple of fixes for channel-switch

* a few fixes for the aggregation handling code

brcmfmac

* drop Inter-Access Point Protocol packets by default

* fix check for ISO3166 regulatory code

When switching mac80211 to use QoS NDP, it turned out that
ath9k_htc is somehow broken by this, e.g. see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891060.

Fix this by using the new mac80211 flag to go back to the
old, incorrect, behaviour for this driver.

Set the wmediumd to the net's wmediumd when the radio gets created.
Radios created after HWSIM_CMD_REGISTER don't currently get their
data->wmediumd set and the userspace would need to reconnect to
netlink to be able to call HWSIM_CMD_REGISTER again.

Alternatively I think data->netgroup and data->wmedium could be
replaced with a pointer to hwsim_net.

The commit "regulatory: add NUL to request alpha2" increases the length of
alpha2 to 3. This causes a regression on brcmfmac, because
brcmf_cfg80211_reg_notifier() expect valid ISO3166 codes in the complete
array. So fix this accordingly.

When immediate quiet bit is set in CSA, the entire channel is blocked
by the firmware. It is expected that all the MACs will evacuate the
channel and the phy will be eventually either moved or removed.

Currently, the phy context is just unreferenced and thus, the quiet
bit is kept set and it will be impossible to TX on this phy, if we
will need to reuse it in the future.  This can be seen when doing a
channel switch with mode=1 (quiet) twice from channel X to Y and then
back to channel X.

Fix that, by moving the phy context to a default channel when not
referenced anymore.

When starting aggregation, the code checks the status of the queue
allocated to the aggregation tid, which might not yet be allocated
and thus the queue index may be invalid.
Fix this by reserving a new queue in case the queue id is invalid.

While at it, clean up some unreachable code (a condition that is
already handled earlier) and remove all the non-DQA comments since
non-DQA mode is no longer supported.

If the driver failed to resume from D3, it is possible that it has
no valid aux station. In such case, fw restart will end up in sending
station related commands with an invalid station id, which will
result in an assert.

Fix this by allocating a new station id for the aux station if it
does not have a valid id even in the case of fw restart.

When a queue is reserved for aggregation, the queue id is assigned
to the tid_data. This is fine since iwl_mvm_sta_tx_agg_oper()
takes care of allocating the queue before actual tx starts.
When the reservation is cancelled (e.g. when the AP declined the
aggregation request) the tid_data is not cleared. As a result,
following tx for this tid was trying to use an unallocated queue.

Fix this by setting the txq_id for the tid to invalid when unreserving
the queue.

After switching to a new channel, driver schedules session protection
time event in order to hear the beacon on the new channel.
The duration of the protection is two beacon intervals.
However, since we start to switch slightly before beacon with count 1, in
case we don't hear (or AP doesn't transmit) the very first beacon on the
new channel the protection ends without hearing any beacon at all.
At this stage the switch is not complete, the queues are closed and the
interface doesn't have quota yet or TBTT events. As the result, we are
stuck forever waiting for iwl_mvm_post_channel_switch() to be called.

Fix this by increasing the protection time to be 3 beacon intervals and
in addition drop the connection if the time event ends before we got any
beacon.

Testing brcmfmac with more recent firmwares resulted in AP interfaces
not working in some specific setups. Debugging resulted in discovering
support for IAPP in Broadcom's firmwares.

Older firmwares were only generating 802.11f frames. Newer ones like:
1) 10.10 (TOB) (r663589)
2) 10.10.122.20 (r683106)
for 4366b1 and 4366c0 respectively seem to also /respect/ 802.11f frames
in the Tx path by performing a STA disassociation.

This obsoleted standard and its implementation is something that:
1) Most people don't need / want to use
2) Can allow local DoS attacks
3) Breaks AP interfaces in some specific bridge setups

To solve issues it can cause this commit modifies brcmfmac to drop IAPP
packets. If affects:
1) Rx path: driver won't be sending these unwanted packets up.
2) Tx path: driver will reject packets that would trigger STA
   disassociation perfromed by a firmware (possible local DoS attack).

It appears there are some Broadcom's clients/users who care about this
feature despite the drawbacks. They can switch it on using a new module
param.

This change results in only two more comparisons (check for module param
and check for Ethernet packet length) for 99.9% of packets. Its overhead
should be very minimal.
