From a110a3b79177ddd7e7295671df97fb5386406835 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2024 16:54:08 +0200 Subject: wifi: cfg80211: optionally support monitor on disabled channels If the hardware supports a disabled channel, it may in some cases be possible to use monitor mode (without any transmit) on it when it's otherwise disabled. Add a new channel flag IEEE80211_CHAN_CAN_MONITOR that makes it possible for a driver to indicate such a thing. Make it per channel so drivers could have a choice with it, perhaps it's only possible on some channels, perhaps some channels are not supported at all, but still there and marked disabled. In _nl80211_parse_chandef() simplify the code and check only for an unknown channel, _cfg80211_chandef_usable() will later check for IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED anyway.
