the scan command building such that it would allow introducing
new scan command structures in a simpler way.
wifi: iwlwifi: mld: remove unused scan expire time constants
Remove the unused IWL_MLD_SCAN_EXPIRE_TIME_SEC constant from
constants.h and its corresponding IWL_MLD_SCAN_EXPIRE_TIME
macro definition from mlo.c. These definitions are no longer
referenced.
wifi: iwlwifi: uefi: decouple UEFI and firmware APIs
The APIs in uefi.h are not firmware API files nor are they pure software
objects. They really reflect a specific layout we expect to see in the
UEFI tables.
Since the UEFI objects are encoded into the BIOS, we can't use the same
values for the declaration of the UEFI objects and for the pure software
object like iwl_sar_profile in the firmware runtime object.
wifi: iwlwifi: ensure we don't read SAR values past the limit
When we fill the SAR values, we read values from the BIOS store in the
firmware runtime object and write them into the command that we send to
the firmware.
We assumed that the size of the firmware command is not longer than the
BIOS tables. This has been true until now, but this is not really safe.
We will soon have an firmware API change that will increase the size of
the table in the command and we want to make sure that we don't have a
buffer overrun when we read the firmware runtime object.
Add this safety measure.
wifi: iwlwifi: mld: add support for iwl_mcc_allowed_ap_type_cmd v2
There is a new version of this command to indicate which AP type in
UNII-9 is supported per country.
This adds support for a new UEFI table that will include that data to be
filled in the new AP type table.
Rename the uats_table field in firmware_runtime structure since it
includes now the UATS and the new UNEB table coming from UEFI.
For the same reason, rename iwl_mld_init_uats.

wifi: mt76: don't return TXQ when exceeding max non-AQL packets
mt76_txq_send_burst does check if the number of non-AQL frames exceeds
the maximum. In this case the queue is returned to ieee80211_return_txq
when iterating over the scheduled TXQs in mt76_txq_schedule_list.
This has the effect of inserting said TXQ at the head of the list. This
means the loop will get the same TXQ again, which will terminate the
scheduling round. TXQs following in the list thus never get scheduled
for transmission.
This can manifest in high latency low throughput or broken connections
for said STAs.
Check if the non-AQL packet count exceeds the limit and not return the
TXQ in this case.
Schedule all TXQs for the STA in case the non-AQL limit can be satisfied
again.

wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix queue pause after scan due to wrong channel switch reason
Previously, we used the IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE flag to avoid setting the
parking channel with the CH_SWITCH_NORMAL reason, which could trigger TX
emission before bootup CAC.
However, we found that this flag can be set after triggering scanning on a
connected station interface, and the reason CH_SWITCH_SCAN_BYPASS_DPD will
be used when switching back to the operating channel, which makes the
firmware failed to resume paused AC queues.
Seems that we should avoid relying on this flag after switching to single
multi-radio architecture. Instead, use the existence of chanctx as the
condition.

wifi: mt76: avoid to set ACK for MCU command if wait_resp is not set
When wait_resp is not set but the ACK option is enabled in the MCU TXD,
the ACK event is enqueued to the MCU event queue without being dequeued
by the original MCU command request.
Any orphaned ACK events will only be removed from the queue when another
MCU command requests a response. Due to sequence index mismatches, these
events are discarded one by one until a matching sequence index is found.
However, if several MCU commands that do not require a response continue
to fill up the event queue, there is a risk that when an MCU command with
wait_resp enabled is issued, it may dequeue the wrong event skb,
especially if the queue contains events with all possible sequence
indices.

Replace the deprecated[1] strncpy() with strscpy_pad() for copying the
interface name into a tracepoint entry.
The source "sdata->name" is a NUL-terminated char[IFNAMSIZ] buffer
populated via NUL-guaranteeing paths: strscpy() in ieee80211_if_add(),
snprintf() in ieee80211_add_virtual_monitor(), or memcpy() from
ndev->name in ieee80211_if_add() and netdev_notify()
(net/mac80211/iface.c). In the memcpy() cases, the source ndev->name
is itself always NUL-terminated (populated via snprintf() or strscpy()
in __dev_alloc_name() and dev_prep_valid_name() in net/core/dev.c).
The destination "local_vifs[i].vif.vif_name" is a char[IFNAMSIZ] field
in struct trace_vif_entry, stored in a __dynamic_array within the trace
ring buffer. Since ring buffer entries are not zeroed on allocation,
strscpy_pad() is used to zero-fill trailing bytes and prevent exposing
stale ring buffer contents to userspace readers of tracefs.
No behavioral change: since interface names are always at most 15
characters plus a NUL terminator, strscpy_pad() with size IFNAMSIZ (16)
produces identical output to the original strncpy().
