Currently in case of target hardware restart, we just reconfig and
re-enable the security keys and enable the network queues to start
data traffic back from where it was interrupted.
Many ath10k wifi chipsets have sequence numbers for the data
packets assigned by firmware and the mac sequence number will
restart from zero after target hardware restart leading to mismatch
in the sequence number expected by the remote peer vs the sequence
number of the frame sent by the target firmware.
This mismatch in sequence number will cause out-of-order packets
on the remote peer and all the frames sent by the device are dropped
until we reach the sequence number which was sent before we restarted
the target hardware
In order to fix this, we trigger a sta disconnect, in case of target
hw restart. After this there will be a fresh connection and thereby
avoiding the dropping of frames by remote peer.
The right fix would be to pull the entire data path into the host
which is not feasible or would need lots of complex changes and
will still be inefficient.
Tested on ath10k using WCN3990, QCA6174

When we get anti-clogging token required (added by the commit
mentioned below), or the other status codes added by the later
commit 4e56cde15f ("mac80211: Handle special status codes in
SAE commit") we currently just pretend (towards the internal
state machine of authentication) that we didn't receive anything.
This has the undesirable consequence of retransmitting the prior
frame, which is not expected, because the timer is still armed.
If we just disarm the timer at that point, it would result in
the undesirable side effect of being in this state indefinitely
if userspace crashes, or so.
So to fix this, reset the timer and set a new auth_data->waiting
in order to have no more retransmissions, but to have the data
destroyed when the timer actually fires, which will only happen
if userspace didn't continue (i.e. crashed or abandoned it.)

As the possible failure of the alloc, the ifmgd->assoc_req_ies might be
NULL pointer returned from kmemdup().
Therefore it might be better to free the skb and return error in order
to fail the association, like ieee80211_assoc_success().
Also, the caller, ieee80211_do_assoc(), needs to deal with the return
value from ieee80211_send_assoc().

Submitting AP probe/null during suspend can cause unexpected
disconnect on resume because of timeout waiting for ack status:
wlan0: Failed to send nullfunc to AP 11:22:33:44:55:66 after 500ms, disconnecting
This is especially the case when we enter suspend when a scan is
ongoing, indeed, scan is cancelled from __ieee80211_suspend, leading
to a corresponding (aborted) scan complete event, which in turn causes
the submission of an immediate monitor null frame (restart_sta_timer).
The corresponding packet or ack will not be processed before resuming,
causing a timeout & disconnect on resume.
Delay the AP probing when suspending/suspended.

As the 802.11 spec evolves, we need to parse more and more
elements. This is causing the struct to grow, and we can no
longer get away with putting it on the stack.
Change the API to always dynamically allocate and return an
allocated pointer that must be kfree()d later.
As an alternative, I contemplated a scheme whereby we'd say
in the code which elements we needed, e.g.
DECLARE_ELEMENT_PARSER(elems,
SUPPORTED_CHANNELS,
CHANNEL_SWITCH,
EXT(KEY_DELIVERY));
ieee802_11_parse_elems(..., &elems, ...);
and while I think this is possible and will save us a lot
since most individual places only care about a small subset
of the elements, it ended up being a bit more work since a
lot of places do the parsing and then pass the struct to
other functions, sometimes with multiple levels.

After channel switch, we should consider any beacon with a
CSA IE as a new switch. If the CSA IE is a leftover from
before the switch that the AP forgot to remove, we'll get
a CSA-to-Self.
This caused issues in iwlwifi where the firmware saw a beacon
with a CSA-to-Self with mode = 1 on the new channel after a
switch. The firmware considered this a new switch and closed
its queues. Since the beacon didn't change between before and
after the switch, we wouldn't handle it (the CRC is the same)
and we wouldn't let the firmware open its queues again or
disconnect if the CSA IE stays for too long.
Clear the CRC valid state after we switch to make sure that
we handle the beacon and handle the CSA IE as required.

The incorrect timeout check caused probing to happen when it did
not need to happen. This in turn caused tx performance drop
for around 5 seconds in ath10k-ct driver. Possibly that tx drop
is due to a secondary issue, but fixing the probe to not happen
when traffic is running fixes the symptom.

We observed some Cisco APs sending the following HE Operation IE in
associate response:
ff 0a 24 f4 3f 00 01 fc ff 00 00 00
Its HE operation parameter is 0x003ff4, so the expected total length is
7 which does not match the actual length = 10. This causes association
failing with "HE AP is missing HE Capability/operation."
According to P802.11ax_D4 Table9-94, HE operation is extensible, and
according to 802.11-2016 10.27.8, STA should discard the part beyond
the maximum length and parse the truncated element.
Allow HE operation element to be longer than expected to handle this
case and future extensions.

I hit a bug in which we started a CSA with an action frame,
but the AP changed its mind and didn't change the beacon.
The CSA wasn't cancelled and we lost the connection.
The beacons were ignored because they never changed: they
never contained any CSA IE. Because they never changed, the
CRC of the beacon didn't change either which made us ignore
the beacons instead of processing them.
Now what happens is:
1) beacon has CRC X and it is valid. No CSA IE in the beacon
2) as long as beacon's CRC X, don't process their IEs
3) rx action frame with CSA
4) invalidate the beacon's CRC
5) rx beacon, CRC is still X, but now it is invalid
6) process the beacon, detect there is no CSA IE
7) abort CSA
