Felix Fietkau bc1235bc58 mac80211: resolve the RX link of each station on its own
When several stations match addr2 of a data frame, a failed link lookup
for one station kept every station after it from getting the frame.
Also, the link_id of an MLO station leaked to the stations after it,
which dropped the frame for a non-MLO station.

Felix Fietkau b66365b233 mac80211_hwsim: report the TX statistics of each station link
mac80211 books all TX of an MLO station on the association link, so a
per-link station dump showed every TX byte, packet and the TX rate on
that link and none on the others.

- 417 exports the conversion of a TX rate to a rate info, with the
  documentation of its arguments.
- 418 makes mac80211 ask the driver for the counters of a link before
  it removes the link from the driver, and add them to the station's
  totals of removed links.
- 419 lets hwsim count TX per link and report it through
  link_sta_statistics. It counts the length of a frame before
  encryption and one packet per MSDU, only where the frame resolves to
  a station link. It starts the record of a link again when the link
  station changes, and clears the records of removed links.

Measured on the virtual bed: each link reports its own TX counts and
rate, and the station totals are the sum of the links.

Felix Fietkau 7289c37c7e mac80211: convert the TX rate of a link with the band of that link
sta_set_link_sinfo() took the band of a legacy TX rate from
ieee80211_get_sband(), which warns on an MLD interface and does not
return the band of the link. 416 converts the rate with the band of the
channel context of the link.

The last TX rate of an MLO station comes from the TX status of a frame
on any link, so a legacy index can lie beyond the bitrate table of the
band it is converted with. The conversion checks the index against
that table.

Felix Fietkau cce5c06c7a mac80211: take an MLO station's rates from the links that report them
414 fixes cfg80211_sta_set_mld_sinfo(). It took the TX and RX rate of an
MLO station from the link with the least inactive time, but compared
against a value it had just set to that link's own, so only the first
link could decide. mac80211 records the last TX rate on the association
link, so a station associated on any other link reported no TX bit rate
at all. The TX and RX durations had the same condition and counted the
first link only.

Measured on a mac80211_hwsim bed: an MLO backhaul station associated on
link 1 now reports its TX rate, and the backhaul rates derived from it
read 270 and 3120 Mbit/s instead of 65535.

Felix Fietkau 2190bd93b1 mac80211: stop only the MBSSID set of the stopped AP link
ieee80211_stop_ap() stops one link, but ieee80211_stop_mbssid() walks
every active link of the interface. The STOP_AP of one link of an AP
MLD thus took apart the MBSSID set of each other link and stopped the
interfaces of those sets, on radios that keep running.

Add a patch that takes apart only the MBSSID set of the link that
stops. The stop of the whole interface still walks all its links.

With it, hostapd can remove an affiliated AP of an AP MLD whose other
links carry an MBSSID set. A link that is itself in an MBSSID set still
takes that set apart, and cfg80211_stop_iface() stops each member
interface with all its links.

Felix Fietkau 6db50863fc mac80211: keep the interface state of an AP MLD while a link stops
A link STOP_AP cleared state that belongs to the interface, while the
other links of the AP MLD kept beaconing: cfg80211 the SSID, the owner
and the QoS map, mac80211 the SSID, the S1G and beacon rate flags and
the carrier of every AP_VLAN. The kept links then ran without a DSCP
map, reported no SSID, and their 4-address stations lost their bridge
port carrier.

Add two patches that clear this state only with the last link that
beacons.

With the SSID kept, cfg80211 refuses a START_AP that changes the SSID
of one link while another link beacons with the old one ("require
identical SSID for MLO"). hostapd.uc stops every link of an AP MLD
before an SSID change (the previous commit).

With HAS_RATE_CONTROL, mac80211 leaves the rate entries of every frame

Send such a frame at one rate, with one attempt and the rate list ended

HT MCS that the peer receives on the channel width in use, as a rate
controller settles on for an ideal channel; otherwise take the highest
legacy rate of the band. Stop at four streams, as minstrel_ht does
(MINSTREL_MAX_STREAMS): hwsim declares MCS 0-9 for all eight streams,
and ieee80211_get_rate_duration() warns for more than four streams on

Felix Fietkau f0e07e5fad mac80211: hwsim: keep radar detection on a multi-radio wiphy
A radio that uses channel contexts gets no radar detection widths in its
global interface combination, because DFS requires a combination with a
single channel. A multi-radio radio always uses channel contexts, and
its global combination multiplies the channel count by the number of
radios. So it loses the radar detection widths as well, while each
per-radio combination keeps them.

mac80211 checks the channel of a radar detection against the global
combination (ieee80211_check_combinations() with radio_idx -1 from
_ieee80211_link_use_channel()). No combination matches, and every CAC on
a multi-radio hwsim radio fails. hostapd reports it as "start_dfs_cac()
failed" and disables the interface.

cfg80211 exempts the global combination of a multi-radio wiphy from the
single channel rule for DFS (wiphy_verify_iface_combinations()), since
it only sums up the radios. Keep the radar detection widths there when
each radio has one channel. With more than one channel per radio, clear
them in the per-radio combination too, which cfg80211 would refuse
otherwise.

Felix Fietkau 8a3ba049c1 mac80211: find the sender of a data frame by its link address
The station hash holds the MLD address of an MLO station. When a driver
neither passes the station nor translates the addresses, a data frame
of an MLO station carries a link address in addr2, and
__ieee80211_rx_handle_packet() does not find the sender. The frame goes
through the per-interface loop, which skips AP_VLAN interfaces. A
4-address MLO station associates and gets its AP_VLAN, but no data
frame of it arrives.

403 looks up the sender in the link station hash when the station hash
has no match, and hands the frame to the interface of that station, as
upstream does since the RX rework.

Felix Fietkau 1225466911 mac80211: hwsim: reserve headroom for software encryption
mac80211_hwsim accepts CCMP and GCMP keys in mac80211_hwsim_set_key()
and encrypts unicast data frames itself in mac80211_hwsim_tx(), through
ieee80211_encrypt_tx_skb(). It asks mac80211 to reserve tailroom for the
MIC, but not headroom for the CCMP or GCMP header.

For a hardware key without IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV or
IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PUT_IV_SPACE, ieee80211_xmit_fast() resizes the frame
with ENCRYPT_NO and reserves only the 802.11 header and
hw.extra_tx_headroom. A locally generated frame usually has room to
spare, but a frame forwarded from a bridge can arrive with none. The
room check in ccmp_encrypt_skb() then warns, ieee80211_encrypt_tx_skb()
returns an error and the frame is freed. An access point that bridges
traffic to its clients sends no downlink unicast data at all.

Reserve the header as driver headroom. IEEE80211_CCMP_HDR_LEN,
IEEE80211_CCMP_256_HDR_LEN and IEEE80211_GCMP_HDR_LEN are all 8 bytes.

Felix Fietkau 595166fcfc mac80211: select the link a management frame asks for
ieee80211_mgmt_tx() walks the links of an AP MLD to decide whether a
frame needs an off-channel transmission. It pins the link that holds the
requested channel only when the destination is a station that already
associated as an MLD. A frame to an address the access point does not
know keeps link_id at -1, the link reaches the driver unspecified, and
the driver picks the default link, which holds a different channel and a
different address.

A DPP Authentication Request shows this: the enrollee announces itself
on channel 6, the access point answers under the address of its 5 GHz
link, and the enrollee never sees the frame.

Pin the link whenever an active link holds the requested channel.
ieee80211_tx_skb_tid() warns on a link id for an interface that is not
an MLD and on one that names an inactive link, and active_links is zero
for an interface that is not an MLD, so that one test covers both. A
station MLD that sends from its MLD address to an address other than its
AP gets the same pin.

A link whose own address is the MLD address also matched the frame on
that address and ended the search, so a lower link that uses the MLD
address hid the link with the requested channel. Skip such a link when
the frame names another channel.

Frames to a station keep their present behaviour: the branch runs only
where the caller named a channel, and where the destination is a station
that associated as an MLD the same branch already pinned the link.

Hideo Sumi 4ab78459bd mac80211: ath12k: drop the BH workqueue revert
Patch 200 reverted the ath12k conversion from tasklets to BH workqueues.
It arrived with 88f4c32060 ("mac80211: update to version 6.14.11") in May
2025, when main still built kernel 6.6 on 26 targets; BH workqueues only
exist from 6.9, so the revert was doing real work then.

Main now builds 6.12 and 6.18. Both provide system_bh_wq and from_work(),
so there is nothing left for the revert to paper over.

It also leaves the driver inconsistent. backports 7.2 uses intr_wq in
ce.h, pci.c and ahb.c alike, and patch 200 converts only the first two
back to tasklets -- ahb.c was added to the driver after the conversion
landed and never got the same treatment. Building with ATH12K_AHB enabled
therefore fails.

Against pristine backports 7.2 the mac80211 patch series applies 151/151
with this patch removed, and no intr_tq reference survives in ath12k. An
ipq53xx build with ATH12K_AHB enabled links ahb.o cleanly, and the driver
probes an on-chip radio on real hardware.

Bump PKG_RELEASE so existing installs pick up the rebuilt module: it feeds
ABI_VERSION for the kmod packages.

the HAL for QCN9274, WCN7850, and QCC2072).

Because this module was not added to the kmod-ath12k package definition,
ath12k failed to probe or initialize PCIe radios since the required
hardware driver was missing.

Add the missing ath12k_wifi7.ko module to the package FILES and ensure
it is loaded alongside ath12k.ko.

Felix Fietkau bf44cb5fb0 mac80211: update to version 7.2
Refresh all patches. Drop the ones that are upstream now.

Adapt the ath9k channel bandwidth debugfs patch to the removal of
WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_5_10_MHZ, and the ath11k QCN6122 hw params to
.max_tx_ring moving into struct ath11k_hw_hal_params as .num_tx_rings.

Add build fixes for mwlwifi and mt76: the action code moved out of the
per-type action frame structs into the common part of struct
ieee80211_mgmt and the union lost its 'u' name,
ieee80211_get_fils_discovery_tmpl() and
ieee80211_get_unsol_bcast_probe_resp_tmpl() take a link id, and the EML
capability defines were renamed.

Georgi Valkov 8ab2eb1262 mac80211: mwifiex: replace one-element arrays with flexible array members
Replace deprecated one-element arrays with flexible array members.
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE reports the following warning when
one-element arrays are used as variable-length buffers:

sta_cmd.c:1033 mwifiex_sta_prepare_cmd
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 84) of single field
"domain->triplet" at .../marvell/mwifiex/sta_cmd.c:1033 (size 3)

Convert affected structs to use flexible array members.
- Preserve existing wire layouts.
- Use DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for structs inside affected unions.

This fix has been accepted upstream:

Georgi Valkov 9a928a437c mac80211: mwifiex: fix freeze for 60 seconds caused by request_firmware
Fix regression in rgpower table loading, caused by using
request_firmware(): when the requested firmware does not exist, e.g.
nxp/rgpower_WW.bin does not exist on OpenWrt builds for WRT3200ACM,
request_firmware() falls back to firmware_fallback_sysfs(), which expects
the firmware to be provided by user space using SYSFS. No such utility is
provided in this configuration, so the entire system locks up for 60
seconds, until the request times out. During this time, no other log
messages are observed, and the device does not respond to commands over
UART.

The request_firmware() call is performed in the following context:
current->comm kworker/1:2  in_task 1  irqs_disabled 0  in_atomic 0

Fixed by using request_firmware_direct(). This prevents fallback to SYSFS,
and avoids delay. The rgpower table is optional. The driver falls back
to the device tree power table if the firmware is not present.

The error code is printed for debugging and returned to the caller,
which only cares for success or failure, so there are no side effects.

Robert Marko 273b186ac3 mac80211: ath12k: fix regulatory range for wideband radios
Currently, trying to start a 5GHz radio on 8devices Kiwi will fail as
despite the phy listing the 5GHz channels in iw phy dump, no radio actually
claims the 5GHz range.

This is because driver assumes that if radio supports 6GHz then it cannot
be used for 5Ghz, this is however not correct for wideband radios.

So, similar to the 103-wifi-ath12k-fix-5GHz-operation-on-wideband-QCN.patch
patch ath12k_regd_update() so that 5Ghz range is listed as well.

Andrew LaMarche 24ab1e83d0 mac80211: read calibration variant from device tree
ath10k and ath11k support reading calibration variants from the device
tree to locate the correct Board Description File (BDF). The ath12k-wsi
binding already describes using qcom,calibration-variant but it is not
implemented in the driver.

Many ath12k designs expose all the radios under a single phy, each of
which typically require a separate BDF. Without this, the radios may not
come up or will not be calibrated correctly.

Fix this by parsing the device tree for the generation-agnostic
qcom,calibration-variant. This allows the driver to properly select,
read and apply the correct BDF.

Additionally, the ath12k-wsi binding documentation describes using the
generation-specific qcom,ath12k-calibration-variant binding as well as
the generation-agnostic qcom,calibration-variant binding to load
board-specific calibration data from the device tree. However, the
driver never implemented either of these.

Given that no devices currently supported use
qcom,ath12k-calibration-variant and the previous patch implements
qcom,calibration-variant, drop the generation-specific version from the
binding to prevent future confusion.

Tested on Askey SBE1V1K.
