mac80211: delete the assoc/auth timer upon suspend
While suspending, we destroy the authentication /
association that might be taking place. While doing so, we
forgot to delete the timer which can be firing after
local->suspended is already set, producing the warning below.
Fix that by deleting the timer.

In the Rx reorder mechanism, nothing is done in the interrupt
context, so there is no need to use 'irq' flavors of spinlock.
Rx done in NAPI context (tasklet), other manipulations - in the

Having interrupts enabled makes it better for the OS in general.
Besides, if enslaved under bonding, bridge or team driver, Rx

this into Rx descriptor.
wil6210: RX high threshold interrupt configuration
Rx high threshold interrupt is reported by the hardware in case
when number of not utilized by the HW descriptors in the Rx ring
becomes low.
Introduce module parameter for RX high threshold.
Add advanced interrupt moderation support available since "Sparrow B0".
Legacy interrupt moderation used only one counter to moderate tx, rx,
and misc interrupts.
Advanced interrupt moderation bypasses misc, and handles separately tx
and rx interrupts. In addition it has two timers for each interrupt type.
Max burst duration timer which defines how long to postpone interrupt after
first event (receive event for rx and tx complete event for tx), and
interframe timeout which defines how to determine the end of the burst and
issue interrupt even if the first timer still pending.
Capabilities flags in wil_priv is set on initialization according to
HW. The rest of the code checks for advanced interrupt capability bit
in capabilities flags field.
Debugfs is split accordingly: "legacy" interrupt moderation remains
unchanged, new debugs files added for advanced interrupt moderation
support.
Module params are aligned to support advanced interrupt moderation
(tx & rx). When not available (for legacy interrupt moderation) will
use only rx configuration; Tx configuration will be ignored in this
case.
Use the proper reset follow based on HW capabilities
detection instead of chip ID.
Remove old hw ID mechanism which was used only for reset flow.
Remove support for Marlon A0.

- <0 - disable automatic ADDBA; intended for manual testing through debugfs
- 0 - use automatically calculated window size

Upon Tx vring creation, initiate BACK establishment
with maximum possible window size.
When establishing secure connection, there is EAPOL data exchange
between connection itself and "data port open", where security
is done and non-EAPOL data may be transferred. It is better to
send EAPOL frames using normal ACK because of firmware considerations.
send ADDBA only is 2 conditions met:
- data port open for the corresponded STA
- vring created
Introduce BACK establishment procedures; decision logic is not implemented
yet; debugfs entry 'addba' used to manually trigger addba/delba for ringid 0.
debugfs usage:
to establish BACK with agg_wsize 16:
echo 16 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/wil6210/addba
to delete BACK:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/wil6210/addba
to change agg_wsize, one need to delete BACK and establish it anew
ADDBA flow for:
- originator
Tx side (initiator) sends WMI_VRING_BA_EN_CMDID providing
agg_wsize and timeout parameters.
Eventually, it gets event confirming BACK agreement - WMI_BA_STATUS_EVENTID
with negotiated parameters. On this event, update Tx vring data
(struct vring_tx_data) and display BACK parameters on debugfs
- recipient
Rx side (recipient) firmware informs driver about ADDBA with
WMI_RCP_ADDBA_REQ_EVENTID, driver process it in service work
queue wq_service. It adjusts parameters and sends response
with WMI_RCP_ADDBA_RESP_CMDID, and final confirmation provided
by firmware with WMI_ADDBA_RESP_SENT_EVENTID. In case of success,
driver updates Rx BACK reorder buffer.
policy for BACK parameters:
- aggregation size (agg_wsize * MPDUsize)) to not exceed 64Kbytes

- originator
driver decides to terminate BACK, it sends WMI_VRING_BA_DIS_CMDID
and updates struct vring_tx_data associated with vring; ignore
WMI_DELBA_EVENTID.

firmware informs driver with WMI_DELBA_EVENTID,
driver deletes correspondent reorder buffer

When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until
the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme
condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but
even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming
because the low level driver is trying to send packets to
an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and
let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up
the roaming.
For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.

Fix this by clearing the TIM bit earlier, when the station has

refactor the TIM recalculation to in that case ignore traffic

disconnected station even though the frames haven't been freed
