Frequent crashes have been observed on MT7916 based platforms. While the
root of these crashes are currently unknown, they happen when decoding
rate information of connected STAs in AP mode. The rate-information is
associated with a band which is not available on the PHY.
Check for this condition in order to avoid crashing the whole system.
This patch should be removed once the roout cause has been found and
fixed.

This patch will only force mac80211 loss detection upon ath10k by
masking the driver-specific loss-detection bit.
Ref: commit ed816f6ba8b5 ("mac80211: always use mac80211 loss detection")

ath10k does not report excessive loss in case of broken block-ack
sessions. The loss is communicated to the host-os, but ath10k does not
trigger a low-ack events by itself.
The mac80211 framework for loss detection however detects this
circumstance well in case of ath10k. So use it regardless of ath10k's
own loss detection mechanism.

Synchronize the ath11k backports with the current ath-next tree.
This introduces support for MBSSID and EMA, adds factory test mode and
some new HTT stats.

Backport EMA beacon support from kernel 6.4.
It is required for MBSSID/EMA suport in ath11k that will follow.

This issue was fixed in the final version of
("wifi: mac80211: fix receiving A-MSDU frames on mesh interfaces") that was
merged upstream but we have a older version that is using:
memcpy(&payload.eth.h_dest, mesh_addr, 2 * ETH_ALEN);
instead of:
memcpy(&payload.eth, mesh_addr, 2 * ETH_ALEN);
So, lets just backport the merged version of patch to fix the issue.

Synchronize the ath11k backports with the current ath-next tree.
This replaces the 160MHz with the upstreamed one, fixes 6GHz only WIPHY
registration, allows SAR usage on WCN6750 and plenty of REO fixes.

Get rid of drivers that are either limited to 802.11b/g or don't even support
cfg80211/mac80211. Most of these are either limited to boards that we don't even
support anymore because of firmware size, or were only used for custom hacks by
a really small number of users in the past.
Let's get rid of those to reduce the maintenance effort and the number of useless
packages

CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH isn't defined for this package, rendering the patch
useless. Match protecting the access of sta_info.mesh with the very same
define declaring it.

This fixes following compile error seen when

sta_info.h shows this item as being optional based on flags:

mac80211 incorrectly processes A-MSDUs contained in A-MPDU frames. This
results in dropped packets and severely impacted throughput.
As a workaround, don't indicate support for A-MSDUs contained in
A-MPDUs. This improves throughput over mesh links by factor 10.

It is common for 802.11ax NICs to support more than just AP mode, which
results in there being a distinct set of HE capabilities for each mode. As
(bad) luck would have it, iw prints out info for each HE mode in sequential
order according to `enum nl80211_iftype`, and AP mode isn't always first.
As a result, the wrong set of HE capabilities can be parsed if an AP NIC
supports station (managed) mode or any other mode preceding AP mode, since
only the first set of HE capabilities printed by iw is parsed from awk's
output.
This has a noticeable impact on beamforming for example, since managed mode
usually doesn't have beamformer capabilities enabled, while AP mode does.
Hostapd won't be set up with the configs to enable beamformer capabilities
in this scenario, causing hostapd to disable beamforming to HE stations
even when it's supported by the AP.
Always parse the correct set of HE capabilities for AP mode to fix this.
This is achieved by trimming all of iw's output prior to the AP mode
capabilities, which ensures that the first set of HE capabilities are
always for AP mode.
