3cb10943fc ath10k: use IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL
The ath10k driver only supports HW crypto (except for management
frames or so - CMAC needs to be done in software). Make it use
the new IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL flag to ensure mac80211
doesn't erroneously attempt to use software crypto.

Taking through my tree after Kalle's ACK to avoid breaking the
ath10k driver with the next crypto patches.

fe6f36d621 ath10k: add thermal cooling device support
Thermal cooling device support is added to control the temperature
by throttling the data transmission for the given duration. Throttling
is done using hw MAC quiet time setting. Period, duration and offset
from TBTT can be set up to quiet the MAC transmits for the required duty
cycle (% of quiet duration). The thermal device allows user to configure
duty cycle.

The quiet params are derived as follows.
	period = max(25TU, beacon interval / number of bss)
	duration = period * duty cycle / 100

Quiet mode can be disabled by setting the duty cycle to 0. The cooling
device can be found under /sys/class/thermal/cooling_deviceX/.
Corresponding soft link to this device can be found under phy folder.

/sys/class/ieee80211/phy*/device/cooling_device.

To set duty cycle as 40%,

echo 40 >/sys/class/ieee80211/phy*/device/cooling_device/cur_state

75d2bd4883 ath10k: advertise p2p dev support
Firmware doesn't allow precise tx rate control so
P2P wasn't entirely spec compliant (it was using
CCK rates in some cases).

The only way to make sure firmware doesn't use CCK
rates is to have a vdev with P2P subtype used for
scanning and tx. This can be done via a special
dedicated P2P device interface support.

This also removes the ancient hack from ath10k in
favor of p2pdev.

a7bd3e9901 ath10k: add new wmi interface of NF cal period
Introduce a new wmi interface controls noise floor (NF) calibration
period via debugfs as firmware has introduced it on v10.2.

It allows users to modify frequency of NF calibration in millisecond
and changes RSSI reporting frequency consequently.
Short calibration period will trigger more frequent NF calibration,
so that RSSI reported in receive frames is more realistic.

Till now calibration was done at 30 seconds.

threshold limit.

cfd1061e9b ath10k: fix station count enforcement
The number of peers isn't directly translatable to
the number of stations because ath10k needs to
reserve a few extra peers for special cases like
multi-vif concurrency.

The previous limit was 126 and 15 stations in AP
mode for 10.x and main firmware branches
respectively. The limit is now 128 and 16 which
was the original intention.

292a753d4b ath10k: clean up num_peers locking
The var was supposed to be protected by data_lock
but it wasn't so in all instances. It's actually
not necessary to have a spinlock protected
num_peers so drop it.

All instances of num_peers are already within
conf_mutex sections so use that.

This prevents warning spamming if peer creation
fails during sta_state in some cases.

9f65ad25b0 ath10k: add memory dump debugfs interface
Add mem_val debugfs file for dumping the firmware (target) memory and also for
writing to the memory. The firmware memory is accessed through one file which
uses position of the file as the firmware memory address. For example, with dd
use skip parameter for the address.

Beucase target memory width is 32 bits it's strongly recommended to use
blocksize divisable with 4 when using this interface. For example, when using
dd use bs=4 to set the block size to 4 and remember to divide both count and
skip values with four.

To read 4 kB chunk from address 0x400000:

dd if=mem_value bs=4 count=1024 skip=1048576 | xxd -g1

To write value 0x01020304 to address 0x400400:

echo 0x01020304 | xxd -r | dd of=mem_value bs=4 seek=1048832

To read 4 KB chunk of memory and then write back after edit:

dd if=mem_value of=tmp.bin bs=4 count=1024 skip=1048576
emacs tmp.bin
dd if=tmp.bin of=mem_value bs=4 count=1024 seek=1048576
