Mark Johnston e7065dd1e8 iwm(4): Remove _mvm from the namespace.
This was inherited from iwlwifi, which drives devices supported by both
iwn(4) and iwm(4) in FreeBSD.  In iwm(4) _mvm is meaningless, so remove
it.  OpenBSD made the same change a long time ago.  No functional change
intended.

/**
* DOC: station table - introduction
*
* The station table is a list of data structure that reprensent the stations.
* In STA/P2P client mode, the driver will hold one station for the AP/ GO.
* In GO/AP mode, the driver will have as many stations as associated clients.
* All these stations are reflected in the fw's station table. The driver
* keeps the fw's station table up to date with the ADD_STA command. Stations
* can be removed by the REMOVE_STA command.
*
* All the data related to a station is held in the structure %iwl_sta
* which is embed in the mac80211's %ieee80211_sta (in the drv_priv) area.
* This data includes the index of the station in the fw, per tid information
* (sequence numbers, Block-ack state machine, etc...). The stations are
* created and deleted by the %sta_state callback from %ieee80211_ops.
*
* The driver holds a map: %fw_id_to_mac_id that allows to fetch a
* %ieee80211_sta (and the %iwl_sta embedded into it) based on a fw
* station index. That way, the driver is able to get the tid related data in
* O(1) in time sensitive paths (Tx / Tx response / BA notification). These
* paths are triggered by the fw, and the driver needs to get a pointer to the
* %ieee80211 structure. This map helps to get that pointer quickly.
*/
/**
* DOC: station table - locking
*
* As stated before, the station is created / deleted by mac80211's %sta_state
* callback from %ieee80211_ops which can sleep. The next paragraph explains
* the locking of a single stations, the next ones relates to the station
* table.
*
* The station holds the sequence number per tid. So this data needs to be
* accessed in the Tx path (which is softIRQ). It also holds the Block-Ack
* information (the state machine / and the logic that checks if the queues
* were drained), so it also needs to be accessible from the Tx response flow.
* In short, the station needs to be access from sleepable context as well as
* from tasklets, so the station itself needs a spinlock.
*
* The writers of %fw_id_to_mac_id map are serialized by the global mutex of
* the mvm op_mode. This is possible since %sta_state can sleep.
* The pointers in this map are RCU protected, hence we won't replace the
* station while we have Tx / Tx response / BA notification running.
*
* If a station is deleted while it still has packets in its A-MPDU queues,
* then the reclaim flow will notice that there is no station in the map for
* sta_id and it will dump the responses.
*/
/**
* DOC: station table - internal stations
*
* The FW needs a few internal stations that are not reflected in
* mac80211, such as broadcast station in AP / GO mode, or AUX sta for
* scanning and P2P device (during the GO negotiation).
* For these kind of stations we have %iwl_int_sta struct which holds the
* data relevant for them from both %iwl_sta and %ieee80211_sta.
* Usually the data for these stations is static, so no locking is required,
* and no TID data as this is also not needed.
* One thing to note, is that these stations have an ID in the fw, but not
* in mac80211. In order to "reserve" them a sta_id in %fw_id_to_mac_id
* we fill ERR_PTR(EINVAL) in this mapping and all other dereferencing of
* pointers from this mapping need to check that the value is not error
* or NULL.
*
* Currently there is only one auxiliary station for scanning, initialized
* on init.
*/
/**
* DOC: station table - AP Station in STA mode
*
* %iwl_vif includes the index of the AP station in the fw's STA table:
* %ap_sta_id. To get the point to the corresponding %ieee80211_sta,
* &fw_id_to_mac_id can be used. Due to the way the fw works, we must not remove
* the AP station from the fw before setting the MAC context as unassociated.
* Hence, %fw_id_to_mac_id[%ap_sta_id] will be NULLed when the AP station is
* removed by mac80211, but the station won't be removed in the fw until the
* VIF is set as unassociated. Then, %ap_sta_id will be invalidated.
*/
/**
* DOC: station table - Drain vs. Flush
*
* Flush means that all the frames in the SCD queue are dumped regardless the
* station to which they were sent. We do that when we disassociate and before
* we remove the STA of the AP. The flush can be done synchronously against the
* fw.
* Drain means that the fw will drop all the frames sent to a specific station.
* This is useful when a client (if we are IBSS / GO or AP) disassociates. In
* that case, we need to drain all the frames for that client from the AC queues
* that are shared with the other clients. Only then, we can remove the STA in
* the fw. In order to do so, we track the non-AMPDU packets for each station.
* If mac80211 removes a STA and if it still has non-AMPDU packets pending in
* the queues, we mark this station as %EBUSY in %fw_id_to_mac_id, and drop all
* the frames for this STA (%iwl_rm_sta). When the last frame is dropped
* (we know about it with its Tx response), we remove the station in fw and set
* it as %NULL in %fw_id_to_mac_id: this is the purpose of
* %iwl_sta_drained_wk.
*/
/**
* DOC: station table - fw restart
*
* When the fw asserts, or we have any other issue that requires to reset the
* driver, we require mac80211 to reconfigure the driver. Since the private
* data of the stations is embed in mac80211's %ieee80211_sta, that data will
* not be zeroed and needs to be reinitialized manually.
* %IWL_STATUS_IN_HW_RESTART is set during restart and that will hint us
* that we must not allocate a new sta_id but reuse the previous one. This
* means that the stations being re-added after the reset will have the same
* place in the fw as before the reset. We do need to zero the %fw_id_to_mac_id
* map, since the stations aren't in the fw any more. Internal stations that
* are not added by mac80211 will be re-added in the init flow that is called
* after the restart: mac80211 call's %iwl_mac_start which calls to
* %iwl_up.
