wlcore_fw_status() is passed a pointer to the struct wl_fw_status to
decode the status into, which is always wl->fw_status. Rather than
referencing wl->fw_status within wlcore_fw_status(), use the supplied

Using wl183x devices in AP mode with various firmwares is not stable.
The driver currently adds a station to firmware with basic rates when it
is first known to the stack using the CMD_ADD_PEER command. Once the
station has finished authorising, another CMD_ADD_PEER command is issued
to update the firmware with the rates the station can use.
However, after a random amount of time, the firmware ignores the power
management nullfunc frames from the station, and tries to send packets
while the station is asleep, resulting in lots of retries dropping down
in rate due to no response. This restricts the available bandwidth.
With this happening with several stations, the user visible effect is
the latency of interactive connections increases significantly, packets
get dropped, and in general the WiFi connections become unreliable and
unstable.
Eventually, the firmware transmit queue appears to get stuck - with
packets and blocks allocated that never clear.
TI have a couple of patches that address this, but they touch the
mac80211 core to disable NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE for *all*
wireless drivers, which has the effect of not adding the station to the
stack until later when the rates are known. This is a sledge hammer
approach to solving the problem.
The solution implemented here has the same effect, but without
impacting all drivers.
We delay adding the station to firmware until it has been authorised
in the driver, and correspondingly remove the station when unwinding
from authorised state. Adding the station to firmware allocates a hlid,
which will now happen later than the driver expects. Therefore, we need
to track when this happens so that we transmit using the correct hlid.
This patch is an equivalent fix to these two patches in TI's
wilink8-wlan repository:

For channel contexts, mac80211 currently uses the cfg80211
chandef struct (control channel, center freq(s), width) to
define towards drivers and internally how these behave. In
fact, there are _two_ such structs used, where the min_def
can reduce bandwidth according to the stations connected.
Unfortunately, with EHT this is longer be sufficient, at
least not for all hardware. EHT requires that non-AP STAs
that are connected to an AP with a lower bandwidth than it
(the AP) advertises (e.g. 160 MHz STA connected to 320 MHz
AP) still be able to receive downlink OFDMA and respond to
trigger frames for uplink OFDMA that specify the position
and bandwidth for the non-AP STA relative to the channel
the AP is using. Therefore, they need to be aware of this,
and at least for some hardware (e.g. Intel) this awareness
is in the hardware. As a result, use of the "same" channel
may need to be split over two channel contexts where they
differ by the AP being used.
As a first step, introduce a concept of a channel request
('chanreq') for each interface, to control the context it
requests. This step does nothing but reorganise the code,
so that later the AP's chandef can be added to the request
in order to handle the EHT case described above.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored
and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a
quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this
quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns
void.
wlcore_remove() returned zero unconditionally. With that converted to
return void instead, the wl12xx and wl18xx driver can be converted to
.remove_new trivially.

First set of patches v6.2. mac80211 refactoring continues for Wi-Fi 7.
All mac80211 driver are now converted to use internal TX queues, this
might cause some regressions so we wanted to do this early in the
cycle.
Note: wireless tree was merged[1] to wireless-next to avoid some
conflicts with mac80211 patches between the trees. Unfortunately there
are still two smaller conflicts in net/mac80211/util.c which Stephen
also reported[2]. In the first conflict initialise scratch_len to
"params->scratch_len ?: 3 * params->len" (note number 3, not 2!) and
in the second conflict take the version which uses elems->scratch_pos.

The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.

Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.
With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.
To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.
For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.
For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.
Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.
Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.
