When mac80211 wants to ensure that a frame is sent, it calls
the flush() callback. Until now, iwldvm implemented this by
waiting that all the frames are sent (ACKed or timeout).
In case of weak signal, this can take a significant amount
of time, delaying the next connection (in case of roaming).
Many users have reported that the flush would take too long
leading to the following error messages to be printed:
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: fail to flush all tx fifo queues Q 2
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Current SW read_ptr 161 write_ptr 201
iwl data: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 fe ff 01 00 00 00 00 00
[snip]
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: FH TRBs(0) = 0x00000000
[snip]
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Q 0 is active and mapped to fifo 3 ra_tid 0x0000 [9,9]
[snip]
Instead of waiting for these packets, simply drop them. This
significantly improves the responsiveness of the network.
Note that all the queues are flushed, but the VO one. This
is not typically used by the applications and it likely
contains management frames that are useful for connection
or roaming.
This bug is tracked here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56581
But it is duplicated in distributions' trackers.
A simple search in Ubuntu's database led to these bugs:

Don't add the time event to the list. We added it several
times the same time event, which leads to an infinite loop
when walking the list.
Since we (currently) don't support more than one ROC for STA
vif at a time, enforce this and don't add the time event
to any list.
We were also missing the locking of the mutex which led to
a lockdep splat - fix that.

The LTR is the handshake between the device and the root
complex about the latency allowed when the bus exits power
save. This configuration was missing and this led to high
latency in the link power up. The end user could experience
high latency in the network because of this.

Move iwl_mvm_max_scan_ie_len function to scan.c and fix the
implementation to conform with the LMAC scan API.
Since the correct implementation would leave us with unacceptably
tiny probes, add a workaround which returns a larger value.

In case of traffic on multiple TIDs where one is aggregated
and the other is not RS would toggle between considering
traffic vs. the station as aggregated and not aggregated.
Instead consider the sta state as aggregated as long as
there's at least one TID aggregated.
This limitation is because the rates table is kept per
station and not per TID.

Currently BA notifications which don't reclaim any frames
would not cause the RS to be called as no skbs are passed
to mac80211. This is not optimal as RS can benefit from the
statistics of sent vs. acked of such a BA. This can improve the
reaction time of the RS algorithm. Also, an upcoming change in
the firmware would cause BA timeout to be reported as a BA notif
with 0 acked so this change is required for that as well.

which will be called by the driver and not via mac80211

The scheduler is a HW sub-block that directs the work of the Flow
Handler by issuing requests for frame transfers, specifying source
and destination. Its primary function is to allocate flows into the
TX FIFOs based upon a pre-determined mapping.
The driver has some responsibilities to the scheduler, namely
initialising and maintaining the hardware registers. This is
currently done by directly accessing them, which can cause races
with the firmware also accessing the registers.
To address this problem, change the driver to no longer directly
access the registers but go through the firmware for this if the
firmware has support for DQA and thus the new command.

There was some confusion concerning the units of the beacon interval.
The driver assumed that it was in msec where it was in TU - so fix that.
Skip over dtim was capped by 300TU where it should be by 306TU.
It should also be subjected to several conditions:
Not a DFS channel, dtim period < 10, and the multicast wake-lock
is off. Concerning multicast lock - there is an implementation gap
in the supplicant, so just leave a TODO.

Reading the temperature directly from the hardware, without the help
of the firmware, is a complex process and is not entirely the same for
different hardware. Also, some NICs don't easily allow access to the
sensors when the firmware is not running, which would add even more
complexity to the code.
To reduce the code complexity and to avoid code duplication between
the firmware and the driver, boot the firmware briefly to read the
current temperature while in CT kill mode.

max_rate_idx constraint is deprecated and it's handling is
faulty as well as it is relevant only for legacy rates but
was considered in HT/VHT. In most cases there was no side effect
as max_rate_idx was set to -1 but in certain cases like P2P
it got set to an actual rate idx which would limit the maximum
rate in HT/VHT by mistake.
max_rate_idx should be replaced by the masks fields but for
