Currently, mac80211 goes to idle-off before starting a scan.
However, some devices that implement hw scan might not
need going idle-off in order to perform a hw scan, and
thus saving some energy and simplifying their state machine.
(Note that this is also the case for sched scan - it
currently doesn't make mac80211 go idle-off)
Add a new flag to indicate support for hw scan while idle.

This is the second part of the auth/assoc redesign,
the mac80211 part. This moves the auth/assoc code
out of the work abstraction and into the MLME, so
that we don't flip channels all the time etc.
The only downside is that when we are associated,
we need to drop the association in order to create
a connection to another AP, but for most drivers
this is actually desirable and the ability to do
was never used by any applications. If we want to
implement resource reservation with FT-OTA, we'd
probably best do it with explicit R-O-C in wpa_s.

To track authenticated state seems to have been
a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to
have out of band authentication (FT), tracking
multiple authentications caused more problems
than it ever helped, and the implementation in
mac80211 is too complex.
Remove all this complexity, and let userspace
do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with
that just fine. Association is still tracked of
course, but authentication no longer is. Local
auth state changes are thus no longer of value,
so ignore them completely.
This will also help implement SAE -- asking the
driver to do an authentication is now almost
equivalent to sending an authentication frame,
with the exception of shared key authentication
which is still handled completely.

The dummy STA support was added because I didn't
want to change the driver API at the time. Now
that we have state transitions triggering station
add/remove in the driver, we only call add once a
station reaches ASSOCIATED, so we can remove the
dummy station stuff again.
While at it, tighten the RX check and accept only
port control (EAP) frames from the AP station if
it's not associated yet -- in other cases there's
no race.

Instead of maintaining separate sta_add/sta_remove
callsites, implement it in sta_state when the driver
has no sta_state implementation.
The only behavioural change this should cause is in
secure mesh mode: with this the station entries will
only be created after the stations are set to AUTH.
Given which drivers support mesh, this seems to not
be a problem.

(based on Eliad's patch)
Add a callback to notify the low-level driver whenever
the state of a station changes. The driver is only
notified when the station is actually in the mac80211
hash table, not for pre-insert state transitions.
To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls
with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST
state.
This callback can fail, so we need to be careful in
handling it when a station is inserted, particularly
in the IBSS case where we still keep the station entry
around for mac80211 purposes.

Setting keys and updating TKIP keys must use the
BSS sdata (not AP_VLAN), so we translate. Move
the translation into driver-ops wrappers instead
of having it inline in the code to simplify the
normal code flow.
The same can be done for sta_add/remove which
already does the translation in the wrapper.

If the driver blocked this specific STA with the help of
ieee80211_sta_block_awake we won't clear WLAN_STA_PS_STA later but
still decrement num_sta_ps. Hence, the next data frame from this
STA will trigger ap_sta_ps_end again and also decrement num_sta_ps
again leading to an incorrect num_sta_ps counter.
This can result in problems with powersaving clients not waking up
from PS because the TIM calculation might be skipped due to the
incorrect num_sta_ps counter.

When WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER is set by ieee80211_sta_block_awake the
num_sta_ps counter is not incremented. Hence, we shouldn't decrement
it in __sta_info_destroy if only WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER is set. This
could result in an incorrect num_sta_ps counter leading to strange side
effects with associated powersaving clients.
Fix this by only decrementing num_sta_ps when WLAN_STA_PS_STA was set
before.

In the future, when we start notifying drivers,
state transitions could potentially fail. To make
it easier to distinguish between programming bugs
and driver failures:
* rename sta_info_move_state() to
sta_info_pre_move_state() which can only be
called before the station is inserted (and
check this with a new station flag).
* rename sta_info_move_state_checked() to just
plain sta_info_move_state(), as it will be
the regular function that can fail for more
than just one reason (bad transition or an
error from the driver)
This makes the programming model easier -- one of
the functions can only be called before insertion
and can't fail, the other can fail.

Currently, when we are on an IBSS network with no active station,
we would scan for other BSSID, even if fixed_bssid is on, due to
a bug in ibss.c, where fixed_channel would be checked instead of
fixed_bssid. This would trigger useless scans where scan results
would not be used anyway.
This patch also reverts commit 39d02a7d90602d4557ee05db2a157a4e0,
which assumed that the ifibss->fixed_channel check was legitimate
to disable single-channel scans. IBSS single-channel scan should
now be fixed.

__ieee80211_recalc_idle() iterates through the vifs,
sets bss_conf.idle = true if they are disconnected,
and increases "count" if they are not (which later
gets evaluated in order to determine whether the
device is idle).
However, the loop doesn't set bss_conf.idle = false
(along with increasing "count"), causing the device
idle state and the vif idle state to get out of sync
in some cases.

If only one target is found, it will be auto-activated.
If more than one target is found, then DISCOVER_NTF will be

If the activation fails, GENERIC_ERROR_NTF is generated.

The NFC core layer should not set the target_idx.
Instead, the driver layer (e.g. NCI, PN533) should set the
target_idx, so that it will be able to identify the target
when its I/F (e.g. activate_target) is called.
This is required in order to support multiple targets.
Note that currently supported drivers (PN533 and NCI) don't

When deauth is requested while an auth or assoc
work item is in progress, we currently delete it
without regard for any state it might need to
clean up. Fix it by cleaning up for those items.
In the case Pontus found, the problem manifested
itself as such:
authenticate with 00:23:69:aa:dd:7b (try 1)
authenticated
failed to insert Dummy STA entry for the AP (error -17)
deauthenticating from 00:23:69:aa:dd:7b by local choice (reason=2)
It could also happen differently if the driver
uses the tx_sync callback.
We can't just call the ->done() method of the work
items because that will lock up due to the locking
in cfg80211. This fix isn't very clean, but that
seems acceptable since I have patches pending to
remove this code completely.
