r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked). Use it in
preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.
- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields

Tested with Asus USB-N10, STA mode.
I don't yet know which RX descriptor bits map to shortgi, long-gi,
short-preamble, long-preamble, STBC, LDPC, HT40, etc - so I can't
easily add those just yet.
There's apparently no per-frame RX RSSI information exposed so we
also just use the results from the previous calibration task.
This also tidies up how the per-mbuf RSSI is pushed into the frame -
now that it's attached to the mbuf via rx_stats, we don't have to
do any silly hijinx to get it out of the frame processing path.

- Do not ignore initialization errors; call ieee80211_stop()
when initialization failed.
- Use usb_pause_mtx() instead of DELAY() while waiting for firmware
loading; this fixes system freeze during firmware startup.
- Do not execute rsu_stop() when device is powered off; fixes
'unknown board type (rfconfig=0xff)' error when the device is
reattached.
Tested with Asus USB-N10.
- Replace all remaining DPRINTF(N)'s with RSU_DPRINTF.
- Add new RSU_DEBUG_USB flag to track error codes returned by
usbd_do_request_flags().
- Improve few messages.
- Add partial promiscuous mode support (no management frames;
they cannot be received by the firmware and net80211 at the same time).
- Add monitor mode support (all frames).
Tested with Asus, USB-N10.
This change includes firmware commands for key setup +
some additional checking via CAMREAD / CAMWRITE registers.
Nothing (except rsu_delete_key() for pairwise keys) is deferred;
to ensure that things are done in order rsu_set_key() will wait
until key deletion task will be finished.
Tested with Asus USB-N10 (all ciphers).
Differences from initial (reviewed) patch:
- Pause AC queues before disassociation - since CMD_DISCONNECT clears
crypto state all pending frames must be processed / dropped before it.
- Check sc_running flag before trying to set static keys.
- Clear key index from bitmap even when firmware command fails
(it will be invalidated via CAMWRITE anyway).

firmware will reset the register and this modification will be lost.

- Check if R92S_RXDW0_PHYST bit is set (like it is done in rtwn(4)) -
even if infosz is non-zero the section may not contain anything useful.
- In case, if descriptor is absent (A-MPDU?) use last calibrated RSSI
(rtwn(4) uses RSSI from the previous (sub)frame; probably, this
approach should be used here too).

will not try to finish scanning automatically;
* inform net80211 about current status via ieee80211_cancel_scan()

* remove corresponding workaround from rsu_join_bss().
Now the driver can associate to an AP with hidden SSID.

There are a variety of more interesting RX statistics that we should
keep track of but we don't. This is a starting point for adding more
information.
Specifically:
* now the RX rate information and some of the packet status is
passed up;
* The 32 bit or 64 bit TSF is passed up;
* the PHY mode is passed up;
* the "I'm decap'ed AMSDU!" state is passed up;
* number of RX chains is bumped to 4.
This is all mostly a placeholder for getting the data into the RX status
before we pass it up to net80211 - unfortunately we don't yet enforce
that drivers provide it, nor do we pass the provided info back up the
stack so anyone can use the data.
We're going to need to use some of this data moving forward.
Notably, now that some hardware can do AMSDU decap for us (the intel iwm
driver can do it when we flip it on; the ath10k port I'm doing does
it for us) then we need to pass it up through the stack so the duplicate
RX sequence numbers and crypto/IV details don't cause the packet to
be dropped and/or counted against a replay counter.
It's also the beginning of being able to do more interesting node
accounting in net80211. Specifically, once drivers start populating
per-packet rate information, AMPDU information, timestamps, etc,
we can start providing histograms of rate-versus-RSSI, account
for receive time spent per node and other such interesting things.
(Note: I'm also hoping to include ranging and RTT information for
future chipset support; and it's likely going to include it in
this kind of fashion.)

is not associated; this fixes possible panic after detach.

to accommodate this. Change the USB pnp tables slightly to allow
better compatibility with the system by moving linux driver info from
start of each entry to the end. All other PNP tables in the system
have the per-device flags and such at the end of the elements rather
that at the beginning.

The fullmac firmware doesn't seem to populate a useful rssi indicator
in the RX descriptor, so if one plotted said values, they'd basically
look like garbage.
The reference driver implements a "get current rssi" firmware command
which I guess is really meant for station operation only (as hostap
operation would need rssi per station, not a single firmware read.)
So:
* populate sc_currssi during each calibration run;
* use this in the RX path instead of trying to reconstruct the RSSI
value and passing it around as a pointer;
* do up a quick hack to map the rssi hardware value to some useful
signal level;
* the survey results provide an RSSI value between 0..100, so just
do another quick hack to map it into some usefulish signal level;
* supply a faked noise floor - I haven't yet found how to pull it
out of the firmware.
The scan results and the station RSSI information is now more useful
for indicating signal strength / distance.
This logic is mostly crimed from the reference driver and the linux
r92su driver.
I verified that it (a) worked on the rsu hardware I have, and (b)
did traffic testing whilst watching what ath(4) sent as a hostap.
It successfully sent MCS8..15 rates (which requires 2-stream reception)
as well as MCS0..7 (which is 1-stream.)
Tested:
* RTL8712, 1T1R NIC, MCS rates 0..7.
* RTL8712, 1T2R NIC, MCS rates 0..15
TODO:
* Find a 2T2R NIC!
in the join message so the firmware would pick it up.
* Strip out the direct hardware fiddling for 40MHz mode - the firmware
we're using doesn't require it (the rtl8712su firmware does; it
is less 'fullmac' than what we're using.)
* Fix the mbuf handling during errors - rsu_tx shouldn't free mbufs;
it's up to the caller to do so. This brings it in line with
what other drivers do or should be doing.
Tested:
* RTL8712, HT40 channel, STA mode (during this commit)
* Add a new method to control NIC poweron / network-sleep / power off;
* Add in A-MPDU TX negotiation support, but comment it out because it
does break TX traffic;
* blank out the tx buffer before sending a firmware message, just in case;
* go into network-sleep once associated;
TODO:
* figure out why ampdu negotiation isn't working and breaking TX traffic,
then enable it.
to do it directly.
Ensure that we re-queue starting transmit upon TX completion.
This solves two issues:
* It stops tx stalls - before this, if the transmit path filled the
mbuf queue then it'd never start another transmit.
* It enforces ordering - this is very required for 802.11n which
requires frames to be transmitted in the order they're queued.
Since everything remotely involved in USB has an unlock/thing/relock
pattern with that mutex, the only way to guarantee TX ordering is
to 100% defer it into a separate thread.
This now survives an iperf test and gets a reliable 30mbit/sec.
Correctly (I hope!) remove net80211 references before doing so.
Just doing a dumb mbufq drain isn't enough.
If enough traffic occurs and the mbuf queue fills up then transmit
stalls (which I'm not fixing in this commit!) but then the mbuf queue
stays full until the driver is removed. There's also the net80211
node refcounting leak.
This just ensures that during rsu_stop and detach the mbuf queue
is purged (and references!) so the queue-full situation can be
recovered from.

It'll just fall back to being a straight HT20 device and negotiate

Don't start the opmode and join path until a pending survey is finished.
This seems to reliably fix things.
Ideally I'd just finish off the net80211 pluggable scan stuff and implement
the methods here so if_rsu can just drive the scan machinery.
However, that's a .. later thing.
Whilst here, remove the getbuf debugging; it's okay to run out of transmit
buffers under load; it however isn't okay to not be able to send commands.
I'll fix that later.
