14 -------- | |
| /
|/
N.B. For cases of non-MLD connection, we set our link instance-0
active with link_id 0. So, our code flow can be compatible between
non-MLD connection and MLD connection.
Based on above, we tweak entire driver architecture first. But, we don't
dynamically enable multiple links here. That will be handled separately.
Most of the things changed here are changing flows to iterate all active
links and read bss_conf/link_sta data according to target link. And, for
cases of scan, ROC, WOW, we use instance-0 to deal with the request.
There are some things listed below, which work for now but need to extend
before multiple active links.
1. tx path
select suitable link instance among multiple active links
2. rx path
determine rx link by PPDU instead of always link instance-0
3. CAM
apply MLD pairwise key to any active links dynamically
Besides, PS code cannot easily work along with tweaking architecture. With
supporting MLO flag (currently false), we disable PS first and will fix it
by another commit in the following.
