Johannes Berg 676b902db4 wifi: iwlwifi: mld: fix PM_SLEEP -Wundef warning
Config symbols are not defined if turned off, so need to
use #ifdef, not #if.

Miri Korenblit c008fadb90 wifi: iwlwifi: mld: allow EMLSR for unequal bandwidth
Allow EMLSR if the bandwidths of the links are unequal if one of the
following conditions is true:
1. in low latency mode
2. bandwidth of the secondary link is greater than the bandwidth of the
   primary
3. the primary link is active and is loaded enough to justify EMLSR

Miri Korenblit 4d7236f968 wifi: iwlwifi: mld: remove IWL_MLD_EMLSR_BLOCKED_FW
The channel load logic moves from the FW to the driver.
- Implement the logic: allow EMLSR only if the candidate primary link is
  active and if its average channel load exceeds the threshold.
- Remove IWL_MLD_EMLSR_BLOCKED_FW. Instead, treat ESR_RECOMMEND_LEAVE in
  the EMLSR_RECOMMENDATION notif as an EXIT reason.

Miri Korenblit cb9716eae2 wifi: iwlwifi: mld: fix SMPS W/A
If the user disables power save of a vif that didn't have it enabled
(for example before association), mac80211 will not notify the driver
with BSS_CHANGED_PS. This will cause the driver to not update the
device-level power save to disabled.
Fix this by checking the vif's power save status upon authorization, and
stop considering the vif's power save status on disassociation.

Miri Korenblit d1e879ec60 wifi: iwlwifi: add iwlmld sub-driver
iwlwifi is the driver of all Intel wifi devices since 2008.
Since then, the hardware has changed a lot, but the firmware
API has changed even more. The need to keep one driver that
supports all those different APIs led us to introduce a new
architecture circa 2012 which allowed us to keep the same
interface to the hardware (DMAs, Tx queues, etc...) with a
new layer to implement the mid-layer between mac80211 and
the firmware. The first component is called the 'transport'
and the latter is called 'operation_mode' a.k.a  op_mode.

In 2013 we took advantage of the new architecture to
introduce iwlmvm which allowed us to implement the, then,
new firmware API. This op_mode supports 7260 and up, those
devices supports support at least VHT.

Since then, wifi evolved and so did the firmware. It became
much bigger and took a lot of functionality from the driver.
It became increasingly hard to keep the same op_mode for the
newest devices and we experienced frequent regressions on
older devices. In order to avoid those regressions and keep
the code maintainable, we decided it was about time to start
a new op_mode.

iwlmld is a new op_mode that supports BE200 or newer if the
firmware being used is 97.ucode or newer. If the user has
an older devices or BE200 with .96.ucode, iwlmvm will be
loaded. Of course, this op_mode selection is seamless.

All the features supported in iwlmvm are supported in
iwlmld besides a few seldom used use cases: injection and
Hotspot 2.0. Those are under work.

A few points about the implementation:
 * iwlmld doesn't have any mutexes, it relies on the
   wiphy_lock
 * iwlmld is more "resource oriented": stations, links and
   interfaces are allocated and freed only after all the
   relevant flows are completed.
 * Firmware notifications' sizes are validated in a more
   structured way.

We would love to see this new op_mode merged in 6.15. The
firmware for this new driver (.97.ucode) is not yet publicly
available but it'll be sent very soon.
People eager to get an early version of this firmware can

I've listed the people who directly contributed
code, but many others from various teams have
contributed in other ways.
