Currently, the driver handles SMPS decisions by tracking AP
capabilities, BT coexistence changes, sending necessary SMPS
frames to the AP, and updating firmware with RX chain info
using the RLC_CONFIG_CMD.
Starting with version 3 of the RLC_CONFIG_CMD, the firmware
takes over this responsibility. It now tracks SMPS, sends
frames, and configures the RLC.
In this patch:
1. Stop sending RLC_CONFIG_CMD when firmware supports RLC
offload (version 3), as rlc.rx_chain_info is not needed by
firmware, and no other field in the cmd is used.
2. Prevent the driver from forwarding any SMPS requests to
mac80211, i.e., the driver should not transmit SMPS frames
to the AP as firmware handles that.
3. Set NL80211_FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SMPS and NL80211_FEATURE_STATIC_SMPS
conditionally based on RLC version.

When we had a comeback, we will never use the default timeout values
again because comeback is never cleared.
Clear comeback if we send another association request which will allow
to start a default timer after Tx status.
The problem was seen with iwlwifi where the tx_status on the association
request is handled before the association response frame (which is the
usual case).
1) Tx assoc request 1/3
2) Rx assoc response (comeback, timeout = 1 second)
3) wait 1 second
4) Tx assoc request 2/3
5) Set timer to IEEE80211_ASSOC_TIMEOUT_LONG = 500ms (1 second after
round_up)
6) tx_status on frame sent in 4) is ignored because comeback is still
true
7) AP does not reply with assoc response
8) wait 1s <= This is where the bug is felt
9) Tx assoc request 3/3
With this fix, in step 6 we will reset the timer to
IEEE80211_ASSOC_TIMEOUT_SHORT = 100ms and we will wait only 100ms in
step 8.

Drivers may at times want to iterate their stations with a function
which requires some non-atomic operations.
ieee80211_iterate_stations_mtx() introduces an API to iterate stations
while holding that wiphy's mutex. This allows the iterating function to

[unify internal list iteration functions]
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
When the upper layer requests to cancel an ongoing scan, a race
is possible in which by the time the driver starts to handle the
upper layers scan cancel flow, the FW already completed handling
the scan request and the driver received the scan complete
notification but still did not handle the notification. In such a
case the FW will simply ignore the scan abort request coming from
the driver, no notification would arrive from the FW and the entire
abort flow would be considered a failure.
To better handle this, check the status code returned by the FW for
the scan abort command. In case the status indicates that
no scan was aborted, complete the scan abort flow with success, i.e.,
the scan was aborted, as the flow is expected to consume the scan
complete notification.

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the
middle of multiple other structs, we use the `__struct_group()`
helper to create new tagged structures with the suffix `_hdr`.
These structures group together all the members of the original
flexible structures except the flexible arrays.
As a result, the arrays are effectively separated from the rest of the
members without modifying the memory layout of the flexible structures.
We then change the type of the middle struct members currently causing
trouble from the original flex struct to the newly created structs with
suffix `_hdr`.
We also want to ensure that when new members need to be added to the
flexible structures, they are always included within the newly created
tagged structs. For this, we use `static_assert()`. This ensures that the
memory layout for both the flexible structure and the new tagged struct
is the same after any changes.
This approach avoids having to implement the `_hdr` structures as
completely separate structures, thus preventing having to maintain
two independent but basically identical structures, closing the door
to potential bugs in the future.
We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure, through which we can access the flexible-array
member, if necessary.
Also, remove a couple of unused zero-length arrays and flexible-array
members.
So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:

MLO-related changes, and the other drivers are mostly in maintenance
mode with a few cleanups and bug fixes.
Major changes:
ath12k
* DebugFS support for transmit DE stats
* Make ASPM support hardware-dependent
* Align BSS Channel information command and message with firmware
ath11k
* Use work queue for beacon tx events
ath9k
* Use devm for gpio_request_one
* Use unmanaged PCI functions in ath9k_pci_owl_loader()

Enable USB RX aggregation when there is at least 1 Mbps RX or TX
traffic, otherwise disable it.
USB RX aggregation improves the RX speed of RTL8811CU on certain ARM
systems, like the NanoPi NEO Core2. Before: 28 Mbps, after: 231 Mbps.
It also improves the RX speed of RTL8822CU on some x86_64 systems.
Before: ~200 Mbps, after: ~300 Mbps.
The official drivers for these chips use the same logic for SDIO, but
for some reason the SDIO driver in rtw88 always enables RX aggregation,
so this patch only toggles aggregation for USB devices.
RTL8703B is likely not found in USB devices, and RTL8723DU doesn't like
aggregation.

RX aggregation improves the RX speed of RTL8811CU on certain ARM
