Series wifi: support wider-BW OFDMA and fix puncturing | expand

Commit Message

Johannes Berg Jan. 29, 2024, 6:34 p.m. UTC
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Rewrite the station-side connection handling. The connection
flags (IEEE80211_DISABLE_*) are rather confusing, and they're
not always maintained well. Additionally, for wider-bandwidth
OFDMA support we need to know the precise bandwidth of the AP,
which is currently somewhat difficult.

Rewrite this to have a 'mode' (S1G/legacy/HT/...) and a limit
on the bandwidth. This is not entirely clean because some of
those modes aren't completely sequenced (as this assumes in
some places), e.g. VHT doesn't exist on 2.4 GHz, but HE does.
However, it still simplifies things and gives us a good idea
what we're operating as, so we can parse elements accordingly
etc.

This leaves a FIXME for puncturing, this is addressed in a
later patch.
