wifi: mt76: adjust BSS conf pointer handling
Passing a BSS conf pointer to mt76_connac2_mac_tx_rate_val() currently has
two inconsistencies.
When called from mt76_connac2_mac_write_txwi(), BSS conf is got by
dereferencing a vif pointer. A NULL vif isn't accounted for though the
function itself supposes it to be NULL and tries to handle this case in
previous checks. This looks like a cosmetic change since the drivers
calling the function (namely, mt7915 and mt7921) set WANT_MONITOR_VIF flag
so judging by info->control.vif initialization inside ieee80211_tx_*()
routines it can't actually come as NULL here.
The same holds for the BSS conf pointer handling inside
mt76_connac2_mac_tx_rate_val(). It is dereferenced before being checked
for NULL. The function supposes to handle the case so reorder the check
and dereference of the pointer. Again, this looks like a syntax issue
only.

wifi: mt76: mmio_*_copy fix byte order and alignment
Update functions which copy to and from MMIO to load bytes as Little
Endian, and also support unaligned buffers.
PCI devices almost universally use Little Endian ordering for MMIO
registers, mt76 is no exception. PCI hardware that is designed to work
with Big Endian CPUs often (but not always) "helps" by transparently
byte-swapping MMIO reads and writes on the wire. If this is enabled
then it cannot be turned off for a single write. On hardware which does
not support this, writel() does the swap in software. When we are
transferring arbitrary bytes to MMIO space, we need them to arrive in
the same order they were in memory, so when the hardware swaps them
this is a problem. Rather than care about how our PCI host controller
works, we instead load bytes as Little Endian - so on a Big Endian
machine this will reverse them, then we use writel() which will put
them back in the right order again. This way we do not make it our
business whether the swapping is done in software or hardware.
Furthermore, inspection of the code shows that these functions are
often called with stack-allocated u8 arrays which have no alignment
guarantees so we now use (get|put)_unaligned_le32().

But the mt7915 supports beamforming and has another table for configuring

The commit 22b980badc0f ("mt76: add functions for parsing rate power limits

* regdomain
* country
If either the country or the regdomain matches, the power limits are
applied and the search is aborted. If none of the two is defined for the
power limit, it is a global (or "fallback") power limit. The last
"fallback" power limit in the list will be returned when not matching
regdomain or country was found.
The idea is here to allow to specify "overwriting" country limits in front
of the list - just in case a regdomain is shared but a country has
additional limitations.
But this property was forgotten to be defined in commit 2de6ccebe0e7
("dt-bindings:net:wireless:mediatek,mt76: introduce power-limits node").

also only a byte - but the code still tried to fix the endianness of this
byte with a be32 operation. As result, loading was mostly failing or was
sending completely unexpected values to the firmware.
Since the other rates are also stored in the devicetree as bytewise arrays,
just drop the u32 access + be32_to_cpu conversion and directly access them
as bytes arrays.

wifi: qtnfmac: add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue users
Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
For more details see the Link tag below.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:
commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request
alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.

Then, it sends nl80211_new_key() to configure a new key in mac80211.
However, in wake_tx_queue(), a workqueue is used to process the TX packet,
which might cause the driver to process the EAPOL packet later than
nl80211_new_key(). This results in the EAPOL packet 4/4 being transmitted
with the new key and IV, causing it to be dropped by the AP. Therefore,
needs to flush TX queue before deleting the old key to ensure that the
EAPOL 4/4 packet is transmitted using the old key.

not really following the HSRv0 standard for the supervision frames we
sent, so I additionally made a few changes to get closer to the standard
and restore a more correct behavior we had a while ago.

hsr: Follow standard for HSRv0 supervision frames
For HSRv0, the path_id has the following meaning:
- 0000: PRP supervision frame
- 0001-1001: HSR ring identifier
- 1010-1011: Frames from PRP network (A/B, with RedBoxes)
- 1111: HSR supervision frame
Follow the IEC 62439-3:2010 standard more closely by setting the right
path_id for HSRv0 supervision frames (actually, it is correctly set when
the frame is constructed, but hsr_set_path_id() overwrites it) and set a
fixed HSR ring identifier of 1. The ring identifier seems to be generally
unused and we ignore it anyways on reception, but some fixed identifier is
definitely better than using one identifier in one direction and a wrong
identifier in the other.
This was also the behavior before commit f266a683a480 ("net/hsr: Better
frame dispatch") which introduced the alternating path_id. This was later
moved to hsr_set_path_id() in commit 451d8123f897 ("net: prp: add packet

The IEC 62439-3:2010 also contains 6 unused bytes after the MacAddressA in

net: stmmac: convert glue drivers to use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel()
This series converts the remaining glue drivers that support
multi-interface to use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel(). The reason these
drivers are not converted to the set_phy_intf_sel() method is
because it is unclear whether there are ordering dependencies that
would prevent it.
For example, reading the stm32mp2 documentation, it is required to
set the ETH1_SEL field while the dwmac core is in reset and before
clocks are enabled. This requirement can not be satsified at the
moment (but could with further changes.)

net: stmmac: visconti: use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel()
Use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel() to decode the PHY interface mode to the
phy_intf_sel value, validate the result and use that to set the
control register to select the operating mode for the DWMAC core.
Note that this will allow GMII as well as MII as the phy_intf_sel
value is the same for both.
net: stmmac: visconti: use PHY_INTF_SEL_x to select PHY interface
Convert dwmac-visconti to use the PHY_INTF_SEL_x definitions. The
original definitions used constant 0, BIT(0) (==1) and BIT(2) (==4)
to define these, but the values of the bits corresponds with the
PHY_INTF_SEL_x values, so it is highly likely that these are not
individual bits, but the PHY_INTF_SEL_x bitfield.
Use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel() to decode the PHY interface mode to the
phy_intf_sel value. As both configure functions would end up with the
same code, call this from stm32mp1_set_mode(), validate the result and
pass the resulting value into the stm32 configure function. Use this
value to set the operating mode for the DWMAC core.
Rather than defining separate constants for each, use the
PHY_INTF_SEL_x definitions in the switch()es configuring the
control register, and use one FIELD_PREP() to convert phy_intf_sel
to the register value.
net: stmmac: stm32: use PHY_INTF_SEL_x to select PHY interface
Convert dwmac-stm32 to use the PHY_INTF_SEL_x definitions.
For stm32mp1, the original definitions used constant 0 (GMII, 0 << 21),
BIT(21) (RGMII, 1 << 21) and BIT(23) (RMII, 4 << 21) to define these,
but from the values it can be clearly seen that these are the
PHY_INTF_SEL_x inputs to the dwmac.
For stm32mp2, the original definitions cover a bitfield 6:4 in the
SYSCFG Ethernet1 control register (according to documentation) and use
the PHY_INTF_SEL_x values.
Use the common dwmac definitions for the PHY interface selection field
by adding the bitfield mask, and using FIELD_PREP() for the bitfield
values.
