In order to get 802.11ac working the way we want, additional parameters
need to be passed down to the firmware.
This patch takes the full remaining set of parameters defined in the
downstream riva/inc/wlan_hal_cfg.h and imports them into hal.h with some
minor name length adjustments.
This addition will allow us to pass a larger firmware configuration set
later on.

In order to pass VHT parameters to wcn3680 we need to use a super-set of
the V1 data-structures with additional VHT parameters tacked on.
This patch adds the additional fields to the STA and BSS parameter
structures.
Since neither wcn3620 nor wcn3660 support VHT the size of the passed
message is fixed to the previous message length. Subsequent changes will
differentiate between wcn3620/wcn3660 and wcn3680 which does use the larger
message size.

By default, after associated to an AP, the wcn36xx bitrate adjustment
algorithm starts sending data at 1Mbps, and increases the rate slowly
(1Mbps, 2Mbps, 6Mbps...) over the further TX packets.
Starting at 1Mbps usually causes the initial throughput to be really
low and the maximum possible bitrate to be reached after about hundreed
of TX packets.
That can be improved by setting a different initial bitrate for data
packets via the ENABLE_DYNAMIC_RA_START_RATE configuration value, this
value can be a legacy or MCS rate.
This patch sets the starting bitrate value to MCS-5, which seems to be
a good compromise given it can be quickly adjusted low or up if necessary.
(and based on what I observed in the wild with some mobile devices)

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Introduce infrastructure for supporting Factory Test Mode (FTM) of the
wireless LAN subsystem. In order for the user space to access the
firmware in test mode the relevant netlink channel needs to be exposed
from the kernel driver.
The above is achieved as follows:
1) Register wcn36xx driver to testmode callback from netlink
2) Add testmode callback implementation to handle incoming FTM commands
3) Add FTM command packet structure
4) Add handling for GET_BUILD_RELEASE_NUMBER (msgid=0x32A2)
5) Add generic handling for all PTT_MSG packets

When the wifi driver core passes IE elements in the scan request, append
them to the firmware message. The driver currently tells the core that
it is capable of attaching up to WCN36XX_MAX_SCAN_IE_LEN octets, but
doesn't actually pass them to the the hardware.
Note that this patch doesn't fix a bug that was observed. The change is
merely done for the sake of completeness as the hardware supports
appending IEs in scans. Tests show that network scans work fine with
this patch applied.
Some defines were moved around to avoid cyclic include dependencies.

Current hw_scan implementation does not trigger offloaded
hardware scan and seems to only put the device in a kind of
listening mode (beacon/probe-response) for software scan.
Since no probe request are generated by the software, current
scanning method is similar to a passive scan.
This patch introduces support for 'true' hardware offloaded scan.
Hardware scan is configured and started via the start-scan-offload
firmware message. Once scan has been completed a scan indicator
message is received from firmware.
Moreover, this patch includes support for directed probe-request,
allowing connection with hidden APs. It also fixes scan issues with
band-steering AP which are not 'visible' with passive scan (due to
hidden ssid in beacons).
Let's keep the 'legacy' scanning method in case scan-offload is not
supported.

The wcn36xx FW expects a fixed size TIM PVM in the beacon template. If
supplied with a shorter than expected PVM it will overwrite the IE
following the TIM.
Squashed with fix from Jason Mobarak <jam@cozybit.com>:
Patch "wcn36xx: Pad TIM PVM if needed" has caused a regression in mesh
beaconing. The field tim_off is always 0 for mesh mode, and thus
pvm_len (referring to the TIM length field) and pad are both incorrectly
calculated. Thus, msg_body.beacon_length is incorrectly calculated for
mesh mode. Fix this.
