cfg80211: Add API to change the indoor regulatory setting
Previously, the indoor setting configuration assumed that as long as a station interface is connected, the indoor environment setting does not change. However, this assumption is problematic as: - It is possible that a station interface is connected to a mobile AP, e.g., softAP or a P2P GO, where it is possible that both the station and the mobile AP move out of the indoor environment making the indoor setting invalid. In such a case, user space has no way to invalidate the setting. - A station interface disconnection does not necessarily imply that the device is no longer operating in an indoor environment, e.g., it is possible that the station interface is roaming but is still stays indoor. To handle the above, extend the indoor configuration API to allow user space to indicate a change of indoor settings, and allow it to indicate weather it controls the indoor setting, such that: 1. If the user space process explicitly indicates that it is going to control the indoor setting, do not clear the indoor setting internally, unless the socket is released. The user space process should use the NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER attribute in the command to state that it is going to control the indoor setting. 2. Reset the indoor setting when restoring the regulatory settings in case it is not owned by a user space process. Based on the above, a user space tool that continuously monitors the indoor settings, i.e., tracking power setting, location etc., can indicate environment changes to the regulatory core. It should be noted that currently user space is the only provided mechanism used to hint to the regulatory core over the indoor/outdoor environment -- while the country IEs do have an environment setting this has been completely ignored by the regulatory core by design for a while now since country IEs typically can contain bogus data.
