Hi,

Some features of 802.11ax without central organizing (AP) STA can also be
used in mesh mode. The main goal is to get HE mesh working with ath11k.
For persons without ath11k compatible hw, hwsim can be used in the as basis
for further development of these features.

* v5

  - rebased patches
  - moved ath11k meshpoint HE capabilities filter to avoid lines over 80
    characters
  - add patch to disable HE SU phy capabilities to work around problems
    with WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1 firmware

* v4

  - switch order of the mac80211 HE mesh support and mac80211_hwsim support
  - drop ie_len variable from ieee80211_ie_len_he_cap and
    ieee80211_ie_build_he_oper
  - switch to function ieee80211_get_he_iftype_cap instead of implementing new
    function ieee80211_get_he_mesh_cap
  - allow ieee80211_ie_len_he_cap to calculate length for non-mesh HE cap
  - dropped he_support workaround in ath11k because now all phy_modes are
    HE phy modes

* v3

  - force ath11k PHY mode for meshpoint vif to HE mode to avoid hang of
    firmware when HE (or VHT on 2.4GHz) device tries to connect

* v2:

  - add of ath11k patch

* v1:

  - initial RFC
