MT76x2/MT76x0 has somewhat unreliable tx status reporting, and for that reason the driver currently does not report per-skb tx ack status at all. This breaks things like client idle polling, which relies on the tx ack status of a transmitted nullfunc frame. This patch adds code to report skb-attached tx status if requested by mac80211 or the rate control module. Since tx status is polled from a simple FIFO register, the code needs to account for the possibility of tx status events getting lost. The code keeps a list of skbs for which tx status is required and passes them to mac80211 once tx status has been filled in and the DMA queue is done with it. If a tx status event is not received after one second, the status rates are cleared, and a succesful ACK is indicated to avoid spurious disassoc during assoc or client polling.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
