[PATCH v2 0/4] ath11k: add support for 256 bitmap in Block ack and duration based RTS threshold

[Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu]

This series adds support for the configuration of following in
HE capable ath11k APs:
1. TXOP duration based RTS threshold using HE Operation parameters in
   beacons for AP and mesh modes.
2. BlockAck's bitmap to support upto 256 bits in mesh mode. Without
   this maximum of 64 bits are supported in BlockAck bitmap.

mac80211 patch sets he_support flag for mesh BSS and addresses
previous review comments from https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11664077/

changes in v2:
 - fix incorrect bandwidth sanity checks before setting he_support
   flag (Peter Oh).
 - rebased

[PATCH v2 1/4] mac80211: save HE oper info in BSS config for mesh

[Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu]

Currently he_support is set only for AP mode. Storing this
information for mesh BSS as well helps driver to determine
HE support. Also save HE operation element params in BSS
conf so that drivers can access this for any configurations
instead of having to parse the beacon to fetch that info.

[PATCH v2 2/4] ath11k: fix incorrect wmi param for configuring HE operation

[Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu]

WMI_VDEV_PARAM_TX_OFDMA_CPLEN has been added with incorrect enum

operation field.

[PATCH v2 3/4] ath11k: support TXOP duration based RTS threshold

[Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu]

HE operation IE in beacons is constructed based on userspace params,
which firmware might not be aware of. This causes firmware not to
configure TXOP duration based RTS threshold which could cause mismatch
in behaviour with respect to what is being advertised in beacons. This
patch sends HE operation IE fetched from beacon to firmware using
WMI interface for configuration.

[PATCH v2 4/4] ath11k: mesh: add support for 256 bitmap in blockack frames in 11ax

[Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu]

Currently 256 bitmap in blockack frames is being set only for AP mode.
Fix this to set whenever beacon has changed and has HE capability, there
by supporting mesh as well.
