Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs
on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement
mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a
scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that
the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received
(both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the
request mode is table, this information is optional.
In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel
dwell time for the measurement.

In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or
passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the
channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time
to scan results information.

Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

<title>cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_band</title>

<content type='text'>
This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

This extends NL80211_CMD_CONNECT to allow the NL80211_ATTR_PREV_BSSID
attribute to be used similarly to way this was already allowed with
NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE. This allows user space to request reassociation
(instead of association) when already connected to an AP. This provides
an option to reassociate within an ESS without having to disconnect and
associate with the AP.

Implement new functionality for aborting an ongoing scan.

Add NL80211_CMD_ABORT_SCAN to the nl80211 interface. After
aborting the scan, driver shall provide the scan status by
calling cfg80211_scan_done().

<title>nl80211: allow BSS data to include CLOCK_BOOTTIME timestamp</title>

For location and connectivity services, userspace would often like
to know the time when the BSS was last seen. The current "last seen"
value is calculated in a way that makes it less useful, especially
if the system suspended in the meantime.

Add the ability for the driver to report a real CLOCK_BOOTTIME stamp
that can then be reported to userspace (if present).

Drivers wishing to use this must be converted to the new API to call
cfg80211_inform_bss_data() or cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data(). They
need to ensure the reported value is accurate enough even when the
frame might have been buffered in the device (e.g. firmware.)

<title>cfg80211: use RTNL locked reg_can_beacon for IR-relaxation</title>

The RTNL is required to check for IR-relaxation conditions that allow
more channels to beacon. Export an RTNL locked version of reg_can_beacon
and use it where possible in AP/STA interface type flows, where
IR-relaxation may be applicable.

====================
Lots of updates for net-next; along with the usual flurry
of small fixes, cleanups and internal features we have:
 * VHT support for TDLS and IBSS (conditional on drivers though)
 * first TX performance improvements (the biggest will come later)
 * many suspend/resume (race) fixes
 * name_assign_type support from Tom Gundersen
