The current flow in _ieee80211_set_active_links() does not align with the
operational requirements of drivers that groups multiple hardware
under a single wiphy. These drivers (e.g ath12k) rely on channel
assignment to determine the appropriate hardware for each link. Without
this, the drivers cannot correctly establish the link interface.
Currently in _ieee80211_set_active_links(), after calling
drv_change_vif_links() on the driver, the state of all connected stations
is updated via drv_change_sta_links(). This is followed by handling keys
in the links, and finally, assigning the channel to the links.
Consequently, drv_change_sta_links() prompts drivers to create the station
entry at their level and within their firmware. However, since channels
have not yet been assigned to links at this stage, drivers have not
created the necessary link interface for establishing link stations,
leading to failures in activating the links.
Therefore, re-order the logic so that after drv_change_vif_links() and
removing the old links, channels are assigned to newly added links.
Following this, the flow proceeds to station handling.

If pre-recovery mac80211 tried to disable a link but this disablement
failed, then there might be a mismatch between mac80211 assuming the
link has been disabled and the driver still having the data around.
During recover itself, that is not a problem, but should the link be
activated again at a later point, iwlwifi will refuse the activation as
it detects the inconsistent state.
Solve this corner-case by iterating the station in the restart cleanup
handler.

wireless-next patches for v6.10
The first "new features" pull request for v6.10 with changes both in
stack and in drivers. The big thing in this pull request is that
wireless subsystem is now almost free of sparse warnings. There's only
one warning left in ath11k which was introduced in v6.9-rc1 and will
be fixed via the wireless tree.
Realtek drivers continue to improve, now we have support for RTL8922AE
and RTL8723CS devices. ath11k also has long waited support for P2P.
This time we have a small conflict in iwlwifi, Stephen has an example
merge resolution which should help with fixing the conflict:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240326100945.765b8caf@canb.auug.org.au/
Major changes:

rtw88
* RTL8723CS SDIO device support
iwlwifi
* don't support puncturing in 5 GHz
* support monitor mode on passive channels

There are a number of upcoming things in both the stack and

wireless-next to be able to avoid those conflicts.

When we first add the STA before sending an authentication
frame this is false. However, in some cases such as FT or
certainly in MLO link switch scenarios, it will be true.
If it happens to be true, it causes a firmware assert (in
LMAC, 0x2528), because the same bit is used by the firmware
for tracking this setting as well as for tracking if the
management key has been installed, and then we get this
assert from the firmware when installing the MFP key as it
thinks it has already been installed.
Remove the setting for now, until the firmware disentangles
the two. We should be able to set it, in fact we should be
setting it speculatively before authentication/association,
to avoid processing management frames that should have been
protected/encrypted before the key is set.

When we remove the station, we call iwl_mvm_sta_del() which
returns true if we cannot remove it from the firmware yet,
which happens if this is the station ID for the AP station
that's still used because the MAC is still associated.
However, we still must free the link data as the station is
only kept alive in the firmware, in mac80211 and driver the
data structures are destroyed.
To fix that, we need to make iwl_mvm_mld_free_sta_link()
track whether or not the station is still alive in FW, as
otherwise we might reuse the station ID in the meantime and
iwl_mvm_mld_rm_sta_from_fw() would reject the later delete
from the firmware. Add an argument to it for that. Then we
can use the return value of iwl_mvm_sta_del() for that to
fix the issue, and call iwl_mvm_mld_rm_sta_from_fw() only
if we need to not keep the station in FW.
