As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
bitmaps.

This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
test the bits, along with new debugfs code.

The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

Channels in 2.4GHz band overlap, this means that if we
send a probe request on channel 1 and then move to channel
2, we will hear the probe response on channel 2. In this
case, the RSSI will be lower than if we had heard it on
the channel on which it was sent (1 in this case).

The scan result ignores those invalid values and the
station last signal should not be updated as well.

In case the scan determines the signal to be invalid turn on
the flag so the station last signal will not be updated with
the value and thus user space probing for NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL
and NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL_AVG will not get this invalid RSSI
value.

The naming convention is to always have the flags prefixed with
IEEE80211_HW_ so they're 'namespaced', make this flag follow it.

In case of wide bandwidth (wider than 20MHz) used by IBSS,
scan all channels in chandef to be able to find neighboring
IBSS netwqworks that use the same overall channels but a different
control channel.

It is possible that a deferred scan is queued after the queues are
flushed in __ieee80211_suspend().  The deferred scan work may be
scheduled by ROC or ieee80211_stop_poll().

To make sure don't start a new scan while suspending, check whether
we're quiescing or suspended and complete the scan immediately if
that's the case.

Radar detection can last indefinite time. There is no
point in deferring a scan request in this case - simply
return -EBUSY.

local-&gt;radar_detect_enabled should tell whether
radar_detect is enabled on any interface belonging
to local.

However, it's not getting updated correctly
in many cases (actually, when testing with hwsim
it's never been set, even when the dfs master
is beaconing).

Instead of handling all the corner cases
(e.g. channel switch), simply check whether
radar detection is enabled only when needed,
instead of caching the result.

<title>mac80211: let flush() drop packets when possible</title>

When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until
the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme
condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but
even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming
because the low level driver is trying to send packets to
an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and
let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up
the roaming.

For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.
