Generate the proactive PREQ element as defined in
Sec. 13.10.9.3 (Case C) of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012
based on the selection of dot11MeshHWMPRootMode as follow:
dot11MeshHWMPRootMode (2) is proactivePREQnoPREP
dot11MeshHWMPRootMode (3) is proactivePREQwithPREP
The proactive PREQ is generated based on the interval
defined by dot11MeshHWMProotInterval.
With this change, proactive RANN element is now generated
if the dot11MeshHWMPRootMode is set to (4) instead of (1).

In my redesign of remain-on-channel I forgot
that an item could be cancelled when it's a
dependent item that is part of another item.
Allow cancelling such items by removing them
from the dependents list.
Note that when we cancel the main item, all
its dependents are also cancelled. It would
be possible to not do that, but would need
tricks to promote an item from dependent to
top-level and is tricky in the HW ROC case.

Redesign all the off-channel code, getting rid of
the generic off-channel work concept, replacing
it with a simple remain-on-channel list.
This fixes a number of small issues with the ROC
implementation:
* offloaded remain-on-channel couldn't be queued,
now we can queue it as well, if needed
* in iwlwifi (the only user) offloaded ROC is
mutually exclusive with scanning, use the new
queue to handle that case -- I expect that it
will later depend on a HW flag
The bigger issue though is that there's a bad bug
in the current implementation: if we get a mgmt
TX request while HW roc is active, and this new
request has a wait time, we actually schedule a
software ROC instead since we can't guarantee the
existing offloaded ROC will still be that long.
To fix this, the queuing mechanism was needed.
The queuing mechanism for offloaded ROC isn't yet
optimal, ideally we should add API to have the HW
extend the ROC if needed. We could add that later
but for now use a software implementation.
Overall, this unifies the behaviour between the
offloaded and software-implemented case as much
as possible.

The IDLE handling in HW off-channel is broken right
now since we turn off IDLE only when the off-channel
period already started. Therefore, all drivers that
use it today (only iwlwifi!) must support off-channel
while idle, so playing with idle isn't needed at all.
Off-channel in general, since it's no longer used for
authentication/association, shouldn't affect PS, so
also remove that logic.
Also document a small caveat for reporting TX status
from off-channel frames in HW remain-on-channel.

When performing a HW restart for an AP mode interface, add stations back
only after the AP is beaconing. This mimics the normal flow of STA
addition on AP.
Some devices (wlcore) do not support adding stations before beaconing,

drv_resume can get called without a prior call to drv_suspend.
Consider the following steps:
1. Suspend is started but driver's drv_suspend returns error.
2. Suspend is aborted. local->wowlan flag is left set.
3. Interface is removed.
4. Suspend again. This time open_count is 0 so drv_suspend is
not called and local->wowlan not cleared.
5. On resume ieee80211_reconfig will call drv_resume since

Just like the AP mode patch, instead of setting
the channel and then joining the mesh network,
provide the channel to join the network on to
the join_mesh() function.
Like in AP mode, you can also give the channel
to the join-mesh nl80211 command now.
Unlike AP mode, it picks a default channel if
none was given.
As libertas uses mesh mode interfaces but has
no join_mesh callback and we can't simply break
it, keep some compatibility code for that case
and configure the channel directly for it.
In the non-libertas case, where we store the
channel until join, allow setting it while the
interface is down.

Instead of setting the channel first and then
starting the AP, let cfg80211 store the channel
and provide it as one of the AP settings.
This means that now you have to set the channel
before you can start an AP interface, but since
hostapd/wpa_supplicant always do that we're OK
with this change.
Alternatively, it's now possible to give the
channel as an attribute to the start-ap nl80211
command, overriding any preset channel.

When any interface goes down, it could be the one that we
were doing a remain-on-channel with. We therefore need to
cancel the remain-on-channel and flush the related work
structs so they don't run after the interface has been
removed or even destroyed.
It's also possible in this case that an off-channel SKB
was never transmitted, so free it if this is the case.
Note that this can also happen if the driver finishes
the off-channel period without ever starting it.

Mesh station that joins an MBSS is reachable using mesh portal with 6
address frame by mesh stations from another MBSS if these two different
MBSSes are bridged. However, if the mesh station later moves into the
same MBSS of those mesh stations, it is unreachable by mesh stations
in the MBSS due to the mpp_paths table is not deleted. A quick fix
is to perform mesh_path_lookup, if it is available for the target
destination, mpp_path_lookup is not performed. When the mesh station
moves back to its original MBSS, the mesh_paths will be deleted once
expired. So, it will be reachable using mpp_path_lookup again.

mac80211 tries to verify the existence of the current AP by
probing or sending a NULL frame in function
ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap_send. It 1st sends a null frame to the AP,
increments probe_send_count and waits for the ACK to the NULL
frame for a finite duration of time. At times, it happens that by
the time mac80211 gets to increment probe_send_count, the ACK for
the NULL frame transmitted has already been processed. This leads
to a race condition where mac80211 times out waiting for the ACK
for the NULL frame causing unnecessary disconnection with the AP.
