This patch adds support for BSS color collisions to the wireless subsystem.
Add the required functionality to nl80211 that will notify about color
collisions, triggering the color change and notifying when it is completed.

There may be cases where vendor-specific elements need to be
used over the air. Rather than have driver or firmware add
them and possibly cause problems that way, add them to the
iftype-data band capabilities. This way we can advertise to
userspace first, and use them in mac80211 next.

If register_netdevice() fails after having called cfg80211's
netdev notifier (cfg80211_netdev_notifier_call) it will call
the notifier again with UNREGISTER. This would then lock the
wiphy mutex because we're marked as registered, which causes
a deadlock.
Fix this by separately keeping track of whether or not we're
in the middle of registering to also skip the notifier call
on this unregister.

Currently, _everything_ in cfg80211 holds the RTNL, and if you
have a slow USB device (or a few) you can get some bad lock
contention on that.
Fix that by re-adding a mutex to each wiphy/rdev as we had at
some point, so we have locking for the wireless_dev lists and
all the other things in there, and also so that drivers still
don't have to worry too much about it (they still won't get
parallel calls for a single device).
Then, we can restrict the RTNL to a few cases where we add or
remove interfaces and really need the added protection. Some
of the global list management still also uses the RTNL, since
we need to have it anyway for netdev management, but we only
hold the RTNL for very short periods of time here.

We used to not require anything in terms of registering netdevs
with cfg80211, using a netdev notifier instead. However, in the
next patch reducing RTNL locking, this causes big problems, and
the simplest way is to just require drivers to do things better.
Change the registration/unregistration semantics to require the
drivers to call cfg80211_(un)register_netdevice() when this is
happening due to a cfg80211 request, i.e. add_virtual_intf() or
del_virtual_intf() (or if it somehow has to happen in any other
cfg80211 callback).
Otherwise, in other contexts, drivers may continue to use the
normal netdev (un)registration functions as usual.
Internally, we still use the netdev notifier and track (by the
new wdev->registered bool) if the wdev had already been added
to cfg80211 or not.

NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS is added to configure SAR from
user space. NL80211_ATTR_SAR_SPEC is used to pass the SAR
power specification when used with NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS.
Wireless driver needs to register SAR type, supported frequency
ranges to wiphy, so user space can query it. The index in
frequency range is used to specify which sub band the power
limitation applies to. The SAR type is for compatibility, so later
other SAR mechanism can be implemented without breaking the user
space SAR applications.
Normal process is user space queries the SAR capability, and
gets the index of supported frequency ranges and associates the
power limitation with this index and sends to kernel.
Here is an example of message send to kernel:

Add support to configure SAE PWE preference from userspace to drivers in
both AP and STA modes. This is needed for cases where the driver takes
care of Authentication frame processing (SME in the driver) so that
correct enforcement of the acceptable PWE derivation mechanism can be
performed.
The userspace applications can pass the sae_pwe value using the
NL80211_ATTR_SAE_PWE attribute in the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT and
NL80211_CMD_START_AP commands to the driver. This allows selection
between the hunting-and-pecking loop and hash-to-element options for PWE
derivation. For backwards compatibility, this new attribute is optional
and if not included, the driver is notified of the value being
unspecified.

This includes:

As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the

S1G channels have a single width defined per frequency, so
derive it from the channel flags with
ieee80211_s1g_channel_width().
Also support setting an S1G channel where control frequency may
differ from operating, and add some basic validation to
ensure the control channel is with the operating.

S1G supports 5 channel widths: 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. One
channel width is allowed per frequency in each operating
class, so it makes more sense to advertise the specific
channel width allowed.

The value of struct bss_parameters::ap_isolate will be -1, 0 or 1.
The value -1 means not to change. To prevent developers from thinking
ap_isolate is only 0 or 1, I add more comments on it.

This is in fact 'disabled' in the spec, but there it's in a
place where that actually makes sense. In our internal data
structures, it doesn't really make sense, and in fact the
previous commit just fixed a bug in that area.
Make this safer by inverting the polarity from 'disabled' to
'enabled'.

Besides information about num of peerings and gate connectivity,
the mesh formation byte also contains a flag for authentication
server connectivity, that currently cannot be set in the mesh conf.
This patch adds this capability, which is necessary to implement
802.1X authentication in mesh mode.

Currently, before being able to forward a packet between two 802.11s
nodes, both a PLINK handshake is performed upon receiving a beacon and
then later a PREQ/PREP exchange for path discovery is performed on
demand upon receiving a data frame to forward.
When running a mesh protocol on top of an 802.11s interface, like
batman-adv, we do not need the multi-hop mesh routing capabilities of
802.11s and usually set mesh_fwding=0. However, even with mesh_fwding=0
the PREQ/PREP path discovery is still performed on demand. Even though
in this scenario the next hop PREQ/PREP will determine is always the
direct 11s neighbor node.
The new mesh_nolearn parameter allows to skip the PREQ/PREP exchange in
this scenario, leading to a reduced delay, reduced packet buffering and
simplifies HWMP in general.
mesh_nolearn is still rather conservative in that if the packet destination
is not a direct 11s neighbor, it will fall back to PREQ/PREP path
discovery.
For normal, multi-hop 802.11s mesh routing it is usually not advisable
to enable mesh_nolearn as a transmission to a direct but distant neighbor
might be worse than reaching that same node via a more robust /
higher throughput etc. multi-hop path.

The low level driver adds its own opaque information
in the BSS table in the cfg80211_bss structure.
The low level driver may need to signal that this information
is no longer relevant and needs to be recreated.
Add an API to allow the low level driver to do that.
iwlwifi needs this because it keeps there an information about
the firmware's internal clock. This is kept in mac80211's
struct ieee80211_bss::sync_device_ts.
This information is populated while we scan, we add the
internal firmware's clock to each beacon which allows us to
program the firmware correctly after association so that
it'll know when (in terms of its internal clock) the DTIM
and TBTT will happen.
When the firmware is reset this internal clock is reset as
well and ieee80211_bss::sync_device_ts is no longer accurate.
iwlwifi will call this new API any time the firmware is started.
