Some stack variables (name *ssid and *channel) are only used to define
the size of the memory block that needs to be allocated for the
request structure in the nl80211_trigger_scan() and
nl80211_start_sched_scan() functions.

This is unnecessary because the sizes of the actual elements in the
structure can be used instead.

<title>cfg80211: Use consistent BSS matching between scan and sme</title>

<id>ed9d01026f156db2d638cbb045231c7a8fde877d</id>
<content type='text'>
cfg80211 scan code adds separate BSS entries if the same BSS shows up
on multiple channels. However, sme implementation does not use the
frequency when fetching the BSS entry. Fix this by adding channel
information to cfg80211_roamed() and include it in cfg80211_get_bss()
calls.

Please note that drivers using cfg80211_roamed() need to be modified to
fully implement this fix. This commit includes only minimal changes to
avoid compilation issues; it maintains the old (broken) behavior for
most drivers. ath6kl was the only one that I could test, so I updated
it to provide the operating frequency in the roamed event.

<content type='text'>
Currently the devices that have already stripped IEEE 802.11
header from the AMSDU SKB can not use ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s
routine. This patch enhances ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s() API by
changing mandatory removing of IEEE 802.11 header from AMSDU
to optional.

These definitions need to be exposed now that we can set the peer link

<title>cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinations</title>

<id>7527a782e187d1214a5b3dc2897ce441033bb4ef</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211.
This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are
that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are
implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that
the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all
drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all).

When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will
be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported
this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using
the info should do if the kernel didn't export it).

Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't
fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW
types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle
AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211.

<title>cfg80211/mac80211: avoid bounce back mac-&gt;cfg-&gt;mac on sched_scan_stopped</title>

<id>85a9994a0a6cba1a6cc6af4bd3ebd85f778be0fe</id>
<content type='text'>
When sched_scan_stopped was called by the driver, mac80211 calls
cfg80211, which in turn was calling mac80211 back with a flag
"driver_initiated".  This flag was used so that mac80211 would do the
necessary cleanup but would not call the driver.  This was enough to
prevent the bounce back between the driver and mac80211, but not
between mac80211 and cfg80211.

To fix this, we now do the cleanup in mac80211 before calling
cfg80211.  To help with locking issues, the workqueue was moved from
cfg80211 to mac80211.

<content type='text'>
Multiple virtual AP interfaces can currently try
to use different beacon intervals, but that just
leads to problems since it won't actually be done
that way by drivers. Return an error in this case
to make sure it won't be done wrong.

Also, ignore attempts to change the DTIM period
or beacon interval during the lifetime of the BSS.
