/**
 * DOC: Introduction
 *
 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
 * drivers.
 */

/**
 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
 *
 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
 * tasklet function.
 *
 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
 *       use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
 */

/**
 * DOC: Warning
 *
 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
 */

/**
 * DOC: Frame format
 *
 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
 * hardware.
 *
 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
 *
 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
 *
 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
 *
 * Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
 * filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
 * not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.
 */

/**
 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
 *
 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
 *
 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
 * suspend.
 *
 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

/**
 * enum mac80211_tx_control_flags - flags to describe transmission information/status
 *
 * These flags are used with the @flags member of &ieee80211_tx_info.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
 *      number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
 *      number and increasing the sequence number only when the
 *      IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
 *      assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
 *      for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
 *      that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
 *      If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
 *      assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
 *      802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
 *      beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
 *      station
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
 *      because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
 *      avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
 *      firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
 *      went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
 *      the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
 *      that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
 *      since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
 *      hardware queue.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
 *      is for the whole aggregation.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
 *      so consider using block ack request (BAR).
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
 *      set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
 *      be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
 *      used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
 *      it can be sent out.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
 *      used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
 *      used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PSPOLL_RESPONSE: (internal?)
 *      This frame is a response to a PS-poll frame and should be sent
 *      although the station is in powersave mode.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
 *      transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
 *      by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
 *      queue gets full.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
 *      after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
 *      be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_HAS_RADIOTAP: This frame was injected and still
 *      has a radiotap header at skb->data.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
 *      MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
 *      status to user space)
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
 *      frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
 *
 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't

 * This structure is placed in skb->cb for three uses:
 *  (1) mac80211 TX control - mac80211 tells the driver what to do
 *  (2) driver internal use (if applicable)
 *  (3) TX status information - driver tells mac80211 what happened
 *
 * The TX control's sta pointer is only valid during the ->tx call,
 * it may be NULL.
 *
 * @flags: transmit info flags, defined above
 * @band: the band to transmit on (use for checking for races)
 * @antenna_sel_tx: antenna to use, 0 for automatic diversity
 * @pad: padding, ignore
 * @control: union for control data
 * @status: union for status data
 * @driver_data: array of driver_data pointers
 * @ampdu_ack_len: number of acked aggregated frames.

 * the stack. Generally, flags here should have their meaning
 * done in a way that the simplest hardware doesn't need setting
 * any particular flags. There are some exceptions to this rule,
 * however, so you are advised to review these flags carefully.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL:
 *      The hardware or firmware includes rate control, and cannot be
 *      controlled by the stack. As such, no rate control algorithm
 *      should be instantiated, and the TX rate reported to userspace
 *      will be taken from the TX status instead of the rate control
 *      algorithm.
 *      Note that this requires that the driver implement a number of
 *      callbacks so it has the correct information, it needs to have
 *      the @set_rts_threshold callback and must look at the BSS config
 *      @use_cts_prot for G/N protection, @use_short_slot for slot
 *      timing in 2.4 GHz and @use_short_preamble for preambles for
 *      CCK frames.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_RX_INCLUDES_FCS:
 *      Indicates that received frames passed to the stack include
 *      the FCS at the end.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING:
 *      Some wireless LAN chipsets buffer broadcast/multicast frames
 *      for power saving stations in the hardware/firmware and others
 *      rely on the host system for such buffering. This option is used
 *      to configure the IEEE 802.11 upper layer to buffer broadcast and
 *      multicast frames when there are power saving stations so that
 *      the driver can fetch them with ieee80211_get_buffered_bc().
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_SLOT_INCAPABLE:
 *      Hardware is not capable of short slot operation on the 2.4 GHz band.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_PREAMBLE_INCAPABLE:
 *      Hardware is not capable of receiving frames with short preamble on
 *      the 2.4 GHz band.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC:
 *      Hardware can provide signal values but we don't know its units. We
 *      expect values between 0 and @max_signal.
 *      If possible please provide dB or dBm instead.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM:
 *      Hardware gives signal values in dBm, decibel difference from
 *      one milliwatt. This is the preferred method since it is standardized
 *      between different devices. @max_signal does not need to be set.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SPECTRUM_MGMT:
 *      Hardware supports spectrum management defined in 802.11h
 *      Measurement, Channel Switch, Quieting, TPC
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_AGGREGATION:
 *      Hardware supports 11n A-MPDU aggregation.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS:
 *      Hardware has power save support (i.e. can go to sleep).
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK:
 *      Hardware requires nullfunc frame handling in stack, implies
 *      stack support for dynamic PS.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS:
 *      Hardware has support for dynamic PS.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_MFP_CAPABLE:
 *      Hardware supports management frame protection (MFP, IEEE 802.11w).
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER:
 *      Hardware supports dropping of irrelevant beacon frames to
 *      avoid waking up cpu.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_STATIC_SMPS:
 *      Hardware supports static spatial multiplexing powersave,
 *      ie. can turn off all but one chain even on HT connections
 *      that should be using more chains.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_SMPS:
 *      Hardware supports dynamic spatial multiplexing powersave,
 *      ie. can turn off all but one chain and then wake the rest
 *      up as required after, for example, rts/cts handshake.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD:
 *      Hardware supports Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery
 *      (U-APSD) in managed mode. The mode is configured with
 *      conf_tx() operation.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS:
 *      Hardware can provide ack status reports of Tx frames to
 *      the stack.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR:
 *      The hardware performs its own connection monitoring, including
 *      periodic keep-alives to the AP and probing the AP on beacon loss.
 *      When this flag is set, signaling beacon-loss will cause an immediate
 *      change to disassociated state.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CQM_RSSI:
 *      Hardware can do connection quality monitoring - i.e. it can monitor
 *      connection quality related parameters, such as the RSSI level and
 *      provide notifications if configured trigger levels are reached.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_PERIOD:
 *      This device needs to know the DTIM period for the BSS before
 *      associating.
 *
 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PER_STA_GTK: The device's crypto engine supports
 *      per-station GTKs as used by IBSS RSN or during fast transition. If
 *      the device doesn't support per-station GTKs, but can be asked not
 *      to decrypt group addressed frames, then IBSS RSN support is still
 *      possible but software crypto will be used. Advertise the wiphy flag
 *      only in that case.

/**
 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
 *
 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
 *
 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
 *
 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
 *
 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
 *
 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
 *
 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
 * based on the receive flags.
 *
 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
 * keys.
 *
 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
 * handler.
 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
 */

/**
 * DOC: Powersave support
 *
 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
 *
 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
 * it finds traffic directed to it.
 *
 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
 *
 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
 *
 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
 *
 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
 * periods.
 *
 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
 *
 * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
 * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
 * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
 * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
 * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
 * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
 * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
 * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
 *
 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
 *
 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
 */

/**
 * DOC: Beacon filter support
 *
 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
 *
 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
 *
 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
 *
 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
 *  - a list of information element IDs
 *  - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
 *
 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
 * vendor information elements.
 *
 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
 *
 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
 *
 *
 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
 *
 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
 * signal strength threshold checking.

/**
 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
 *
 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
 *
 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
 * hardware flags.
 *
 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
 * turned off otherwise.
 *
 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.

/**
 * DOC: Frame filtering
 *
 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
 *
 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
 *
 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
 *
 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
 * or dropped.
 *
 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
 * the flag, but not clear it.
 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

 *
 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,

 *      by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
 *      multicast address.
 *
 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
 *      %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
 *
 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set

 *
 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate

 *      by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
 *      mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should

/**
 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
 *
 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
 *
 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
 *      skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
 *      The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
 *      configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
 *      preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
 *      importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
 *      This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
 *      limited cases.
 *      Must be implemented and atomic.
 *
 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
 *      is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
 *      frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
 *      Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
 *      or zero.
 *      When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
 *      to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
 *      is added.
 *      Must be implemented and can sleep.
 *
 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
 *      is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
 *      it must turn off frame reception.)
 *      May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
 *      an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
 *      you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
 *      Must be implemented and can sleep.
 *
 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
 *      enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
 *      and @stop must be implemented.
 *      The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
 *      the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
 *      interface is given in the conf parameter.
 *      The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
 *      negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
 *      Must be implemented and can sleep.
 *
 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
 *      is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
 *      switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
 *      Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
 *      found by the interface iteration callbacks.
 *
 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
 *      The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
 *      and no monitor interfaces are present.
 *      When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
 *      must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
 *      the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
 *      MAC address of the device going away.
 *      Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
 *
 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
 *      function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
 *      This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
 *      if it does. The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
 *      parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
 *      level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
 *      This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
 *      for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
 *      of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
 *      can sleep.
 *
 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
 *      This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
 *      to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
 *
 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
 *      See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
 *      This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
 *
 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
 *      must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
 *
 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
 *      This callback is only called between add_interface and
 *      remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
 *      is enabled.
 *      Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
 *      This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
 *      which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
 *      The callback must be atomic.
 *
 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
 *      the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
 *      configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
 *      registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
 *      that power save is disabled.
 *      The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
 *      entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
 *      at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
 *      (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
 *      When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
 *      note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
 *      any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
 *      is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
 *      software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
 *      this notification.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
 *      Returns zero if statistics are available.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
 *      callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
 *      and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
 *      The callback must be atomic.
 *
 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
 *      AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
 *      station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
 *
 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
 *      associated station, AP,  IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Must be atomic.
 *
 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
 *      bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
 *      Returns a negative error code on failure.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
 *      this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
 *      required function.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
 *      Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
 *      required function.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
 *      with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
 *      function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
 *      TSF synchronization.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
 *      This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
 *      used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
 *      Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
 *      The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
 *      the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
 *      ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
 *      is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
 *      that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
 *      Returns a negative error code on failure.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
 *
 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
 *      need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
 *      and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
 *      in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
 *      accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.
 *
 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
 *      The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
 *      that the hardware queues are empty. If the parameter @drop is set
 *      to %true, pending frames may be dropped. The callback can sleep.
 *
 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
 *      switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
 *      callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
 *      completion of the channel switch.
 *
 * @napi_poll: Poll Rx queue for incoming data frames.
