Johannes Berg says:

====================
We have a number of changes, but things are settling down:
 * a fix in the new 6 GHz channel support
 * a fix for recent minstrel (rate control) updates
   for an infinite loop
 * handle interface type changes better wrt. management frame
   registrations (for management frames sent to userspace)
 * add in-BSS RX time to survey information
 * handle HW rfkill properly if !CONFIG_RFKILL
 * send deauth on IBSS station expiry, to avoid state mismatches
 * handle deferred crypto tailroom updates in mac80211 better
   when device restart happens
 * fix a spectre-v1 - really a continuation of a previous patch
 * advertise NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_FT_IES as supported if so
 * add some missing parsing in VHT extended NSS support
 * support HE in mac80211_hwsim
 * let mac80211 drivers determine the max MTU themselves
along with the usual cleanups etc.
====================

<title>cfg80211: Purge frame registrations on iftype change</title>

Currently frame registrations are not purged, even when changing the
interface type.  This can lead to potentially weird situations where
frames possibly not allowed on a given interface type remain registered
due to the type switching happening after registration.

The kernel currently relies on userspace apps to actually purge the
registrations themselves, this is not something that the kernel should
rely on.

Add a call to cfg80211_mlme_purge_registrations() to forcefully remove
any registrations left over prior to switching the iftype.

commit 1222a1601488 ("nl80211: Fix possible Spectre-v1 for CQM
RSSI thresholds") was incomplete and requires one more fix to
prevent accessing to rssi_thresholds[n] because user can control
rssi_thresholds[i] values to make i reach to n. For example,
rssi_thresholds = {-400, -300, -200, -100} when last is -34.

When the RFKILL subsystem isn't available, then rfkill_blocked()
always returns false. In the case of hardware rfkill this will
be wrong though, as if the hardware reported being killed then
it cannot operate any longer.

Since we only ever call the rfkill_sync work in this case, just
rename it to rfkill_block and always pass "true" for the blocked
parameter, rather than passing rfkill_blocked().

We rely on the underlying driver to still reject any new attempt
to bring up the device by itself.

802.11ay specification defines Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit
(EDMG) STA and AP which allow channel bonding of 2 channels and more.

Introduce new NL attributes that are needed for enabling and
configuring EDMG support.

Two new attributes are used by kernel to publish driver's EDMG
capabilities to the userspace:
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS - bitmap field that indicates the 2.16
GHz channel(s) that are supported by the driver.
When this attribute is not set it means driver does not support EDMG.
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_BW_CONFIG - represent the channel bandwidth
configurations supported by the driver.

Additional two new attributes are used by the userspace for connect
command and for AP configuration:
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_CHANNELS
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_BW_CONFIG

New rate info flag - RATE_INFO_FLAGS_EDMG, can be reported from driver
and used for bitrate calculation that will take into account EDMG
according to the 802.11ay specification.
