[ Upstream commit 6e16782d6b4a724f9c9dcd49471219643593b60c ]

With commit bc8a0fac8677 ("wifi: mac80211: don't set bss_conf in parsing")
ath11k fails to connect to 6 GHz AP.

This is because currently ath11k checks AP's power type in
ath11k_mac_op_assign_vif_chanctx() which would be called in AUTH stage.
However with above commit power type is not available until ASSOC stage.
As a result power type check fails and therefore connection fails.

Fix this by moving power type check to ASSOC stage, also move regulatory
rules update there because it depends on power type.

<title>wifi: ath11k: fix WCN6750 firmware crash caused by 17 num_vdevs</title>

[ Upstream commit ed281c6ab6eb8a914f06c74dfeaebde15b34a3f4 ]

WCN6750 firmware crashes because of num_vdevs changed from 4 to 17
in ath11k_init_wmi_config_qca6390() as the ab-&gt;hw_params.num_vdevs
is 17. This is caused by commit f019f4dff2e4 ("wifi: ath11k: support
2 station interfaces") which assigns ab-&gt;hw_params.num_vdevs directly
to config-&gt;num_vdevs in ath11k_init_wmi_config_qca6390(), therefore
WCN6750 firmware crashes as it can't support such a big num_vdevs.

Fix it by assign 3 to num_vdevs in hw_params for WCN6750 as 3 is
sufficient too.

<title>wifi: ath11k: don't force enable power save on non-running vdevs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d880238e77efe5ecb91bfca12191d5237b91866c</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 01296b39d3515f20a1db64d3c421c592b1e264a0 ]

Currently we force enable power save on non-running vdevs, this results
in unexpected ping latency in below scenarios:
	1. disable power save from userspace.
	2. trigger suspend/resume.

With step 1 power save is disabled successfully and we get a good latency:

PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=5.13 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=5.45 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=5.99 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=6.34 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=4.47 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=6.45 ms

While after step 2, the latency becomes much larger:

PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=17.7 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=15.0 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=14.3 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=16.5 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=20.1 ms

The reason is, with step 2, power save is force enabled due to vdev not
running, although mac80211 was trying to disable it to honor userspace
configuration:

ath11k_pci 0000:03:00.0: wmi cmd sta powersave mode psmode 1 vdev id 0
Call Trace:
 ath11k_wmi_pdev_set_ps_mode
 ath11k_mac_op_bss_info_changed
 ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify
 ieee80211_reconfig
 ieee80211_resume
 wiphy_resume

This logic is taken from ath10k where it was added due to below comment:

	Firmware doesn't behave nicely and consumes more power than
	necessary if PS is disabled on a non-started vdev.

However we don't know whether such an issue also occurs to ath11k firmware
or not. But even if it does, it's not appropriate because it goes against
userspace, even cfg/mac80211 don't know we have enabled it in fact.

Remove it to fix this issue. In this way we not only get a better latency,
but also, and the most important, keeps the consistency between userspace
and kernel/driver. The biggest price for that would be the power consumption,
which is not that important, compared with the consistency.

Commit c3718936ec47 ("ipv6: anycast: complete RCU handling of struct
ifacaddr6") converted struct inet6_dev::ac_list to use RCU but missed that
ath11k also accesses this list. Now sparse warns:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:21:    expected struct ifacaddr6 *ifaca6

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:53:    got struct ifacaddr6 [noderef] __rcu *aca_next

Fix it by using rtnl_dereference(). Also add a note that read_lock_bh() calls
rcu_read_lock() which I was not aware of.

Unlike the event configuration which can be modified by MHI, the
channel and controller configurations are expected to be const. And
since they are not modified locally, constify them to prevent runtime
modification.

No functional changes, compile tested only.

<content type='text'>
Currently buf_len field of ath11k_mhi_config_qca6390 is assigned
with 0, making MHI use a default size, 64KB, to allocate channel
buffers. This is likely to fail in some scenarios where system
memory is highly fragmented and memory compaction or reclaim is
not allowed.

There is a fail report which is caused by it:

Actually those buffers are used only by QMI target -&gt; host communication.
And for WCN6855 and QCA6390, the largest packet size for that is less
than 6KB. So change buf_len field to 8KB, which results in order 1
allocation if page size is 4KB. In this way, we can at least save some
memory, and as well as decrease the possibility of allocation failure
in those scenarios.

Every time the firmware boots we call ath11k_core_qmi_firmware_ready() which
ends up calling ath11k_thermal_register(). So we try to register thermal
devices multiple times. And when we power off the firmware during
suspend/hibernation (implemented in the next patch) we get a warning in resume:

hwmon hwmon4: PM: parent phy0 should not be sleeping

Workaround this similarly like ath11k_mac_register() does by testing
ATH11K_FLAG_REGISTERED.

We are seeing below warning in both reset and suspend/resume scenarios:

[69663.691847] ath11k_pci 0000:02:00.0: Already processed, so ignoring dma ring caps

This is because ab-&gt;num_db_cap is not cleared in
ath11k_wmi_free_dbring_caps(), so clear it to avoid such
warnings.

<content type='text'>
Both the firmware reset feature and the power management
suspend/resume feature share common power-down and power-up
functionality. One aspect of the power-up functionality is
the handling of the ATH11K_QMI_EVENT_FW_INIT_DONE event.
When this event is received, a call is made to
ath11k_hal_dump_srng_stats(), with the purpose to collect
information that may be useful in debugging the cause of a
firmware reset.

Unfortunately, since this functionality is shared between
both the firmware reset path and the power management
resume path, the kernel log is flooded with messages during
resume. Since these messages are not useful during resume,
and in fact can be confusing and can increase the time it
takes to resume, update the logic to only call
ath11k_hal_dump_srng_stats() during firmware reset.

There is no driver to match these two channels, so
remove them. This fixes warnings from MHI subsystem during suspend:

mhi mhi0_LOOPBACK: 1: Failed to reset channel, still resetting
mhi mhi0_LOOPBACK: 0: Failed to reset channel, still resetting

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.30
