+/**
+ * DOC: Introduction
+ *
+ * cfg80211 is the configuration API for 802.11 devices in Linux. It bridges
+ * userspace and drivers, and offers some utility functionality associated
+ * with 802.11. cfg80211 must, directly or indirectly via mac80211, be used
+ * by all modern wireless drivers in Linux, so that they offer a consistent
+ * API through nl80211. For backward compatibility, cfg80211 also offers
+ * wireless extensions to userspace, but hides them from drivers completely.
+ *
+ * Additionally, cfg80211 contains code to help enforce regulatory spectrum
+ * use restrictions.

+
+/**
+ * DOC: Device registration
+ *
+ * In order for a driver to use cfg80211, it must register the hardware device
+ * with cfg80211. This happens through a number of hardware capability structs
+ * described below.
+ *
+ * The fundamental structure for each device is the 'wiphy', of which each
+ * instance describes a physical wireless device connected to the system. Each
+ * such wiphy can have zero, one, or many virtual interfaces associated with
+ * it, which need to be identified as such by pointing the network interface's
+ * @ieee80211_ptr pointer to a &struct wireless_dev which further describes
+ * the wireless part of the interface, normally this struct is embedded in the
+ * network interface's private data area. Drivers can optionally allow creating
+ * or destroying virtual interfaces on the fly, but without at least one or the
+ * ability to create some the wireless device isn't useful.
+ *
+ * Each wiphy structure contains device capability information, and also has
+ * a pointer to the various operations the driver offers. The definitions and
+ * structures here describe these capabilities in detail.

+ *
+ * @add_virtual_intf: create a new virtual interface with the given name,
+ *	must set the struct wireless_dev's iftype. Beware: You must create
+ *	the new netdev in the wiphy's network namespace! Returns the struct

+ * @get_station: get station information for the station identified by @mac
+ * @dump_station: dump station callback -- resume dump at index @idx
+ *

+ * @get_mesh_config: Get the current mesh configuration
+ *
+ * @update_mesh_config: Update mesh parameters on a running mesh.
+ *	The mask is a bitfield which tells us which parameters to
+ *	set, and which to leave alone.
+ *
+ * @change_bss: Modify parameters for a given BSS.
+ *
+ * @set_txq_params: Set TX queue parameters
+ *
+ * @libertas_set_mesh_channel: Only for backward compatibility for libertas,
+ *	as it doesn't implement join_mesh and needs to set the channel to
+ *	join the mesh instead.
+ *
+ * @set_monitor_channel: Set the monitor mode channel for the device. If other
+ *	interfaces are active this callback should reject the configuration.
+ *	If no interfaces are active or the device is down, the channel should
+ *	be stored for when a monitor interface becomes active.
+ *
+ * @scan: Request to do a scan. If returning zero, the scan request is given
+ *	the driver, and will be valid until passed to cfg80211_scan_done().
+ *	For scan results, call cfg80211_inform_bss(); you can call this outside
+ *	the scan/scan_done bracket too.
+ * @abort_scan: Tell the driver to abort an ongoing scan. The driver shall

+ *	%WLAN_STATUS_SUCCESS. If the connection fails for some reason, call
+ *	cfg80211_connect_result()/cfg80211_connect_bss() with the status code
+ *	from the AP or cfg80211_connect_timeout() if no frame with status code
+ *	was received.
+ *	The driver is allowed to roam to other BSSes within the ESS when the
+ *	other BSS matches the connect parameters. When such roaming is initiated
+ *	by the driver, the driver is expected to verify that the target matches
+ *	the configured security parameters and to use Reassociation Request
+ *	frame instead of Association Request frame.
+ *	The connect function can also be used to request the driver to perform a
+ *	specific roam when connected to an ESS. In that case, the prev_bssid
+ *	parameter is set to the BSSID of the currently associated BSS as an
+ *	indication of requesting reassociation.
+ *	In both the driver-initiated and new connect() call initiated roaming
+ *	cases, the result of roaming is indicated with a call to
+ *	cfg80211_roamed(). (invoked with the wireless_dev mutex held)
+ * @update_connect_params: Update the connect parameters while connected to a
+ *	BSS. The updated parameters can be used by driver/firmware for
+ *	subsequent BSS selection (roaming) decisions and to form the
+ *	Authentication/(Re)Association Request frames. This call does not
+ *	request an immediate disassociation or reassociation with the current
+ *	BSS, i.e., this impacts only subsequent (re)associations. The bits in
+ *	changed are defined in &enum cfg80211_connect_params_changed.
+ *	(invoked with the wireless_dev mutex held)
+ * @disconnect: Disconnect from the BSS/ESS or stop connection attempts if
+ *      connection is in progress. Once done, call cfg80211_disconnected() in
+ *      case connection was already established (invoked with the
+ *      wireless_dev mutex held), otherwise call cfg80211_connect_timeout().
+ *
+ * @join_ibss: Join the specified IBSS (or create if necessary). Once done, call
+ *	cfg80211_ibss_joined(), also call that function when changing BSSID due
+ *	to a merge.
+ *	(invoked with the wireless_dev mutex held)
+ * @leave_ibss: Leave the IBSS.
+ *	(invoked with the wireless_dev mutex held)
+ *
+ * @set_mcast_rate: Set the specified multicast rate (only if vif is in ADHOC or
+ *	MESH mode)
+ *
+ * @set_wiphy_params: Notify that wiphy parameters have changed;
+ *	@changed bitfield (see &enum wiphy_params_flags) describes which values
+ *	have changed. The actual parameter values are available in
+ *	struct wiphy. If returning an error, no value should be changed.
+ *
+ * @set_tx_power: set the transmit power according to the parameters,
+ *	the power passed is in mBm, to get dBm use MBM_TO_DBM(). The
+ *	wdev may be %NULL if power was set for the wiphy, and will
+ *	always be %NULL unless the driver supports per-vif TX power
+ *	(as advertised by the nl80211 feature flag.)
+ * @get_tx_power: store the current TX power into the dbm variable;
+ *	return 0 if successful
+ *
+ * @set_wds_peer: set the WDS peer for a WDS interface
+ *
+ * @rfkill_poll: polls the hw rfkill line, use cfg80211 reporting
+ *	functions to adjust rfkill hw state
+ *
+ * @dump_survey: get site survey information.
+ *
+ * @remain_on_channel: Request the driver to remain awake on the specified
+ *	channel for the specified duration to complete an off-channel
+ *	operation (e.g., public action frame exchange). When the driver is
+ *	ready on the requested channel, it must indicate this with an event
+ *	notification by calling cfg80211_ready_on_channel().
+ * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Cancel an on-going remain-on-channel operation.
+ *	This allows the operation to be terminated prior to timeout based on
+ *	the duration value.
+ * @mgmt_tx: Transmit a management frame.
+ * @mgmt_tx_cancel_wait: Cancel the wait time from transmitting a management
+ *	frame on another channel
+ *
+ * @testmode_cmd: run a test mode command; @wdev may be %NULL
+ * @testmode_dump: Implement a test mode dump. The cb->args[2] and up may be
+ *	used by the function, but 0 and 1 must not be touched. Additionally,
+ *	return error codes other than -ENOBUFS and -ENOENT will terminate the
+ *	dump and return to userspace with an error, so be careful. If any data
+ *	was passed in from userspace then the data/len arguments will be present
+ *	and point to the data contained in %NL80211_ATTR_TESTDATA.
+ *
+ * @set_bitrate_mask: set the bitrate mask configuration
+ *
+ * @set_pmksa: Cache a PMKID for a BSSID. This is mostly useful for fullmac
+ *	devices running firmwares capable of generating the (re) association
+ *	RSN IE. It allows for faster roaming between WPA2 BSSIDs.
+ * @del_pmksa: Delete a cached PMKID.
+ * @flush_pmksa: Flush all cached PMKIDs.
+ * @set_power_mgmt: Configure WLAN power management. A timeout value of -1
+ *	allows the driver to adjust the dynamic ps timeout value.
+ * @set_cqm_rssi_config: Configure connection quality monitor RSSI threshold.
+ *	After configuration, the driver should (soon) send an event indicating
+ *	the current level is above/below the configured threshold; this may
+ *	need some care when the configuration is changed (without first being
+ *	disabled.)
+ * @set_cqm_rssi_range_config: Configure two RSSI thresholds in the
+ *	connection quality monitor.  An event is to be sent only when the
+ *	signal level is found to be outside the two values.  The driver should
+ *	set %NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST if this method is implemented.
+ *	If it is provided then there's no point providing @set_cqm_rssi_config.
+ * @set_cqm_txe_config: Configure connection quality monitor TX error
+ *	thresholds.
+ * @sched_scan_start: Tell the driver to start a scheduled scan.
+ * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the driver to stop an ongoing scheduled scan with
+ *	given request id. This call must stop the scheduled scan and be ready
+ *	for starting a new one before it returns, i.e. @sched_scan_start may be
+ *	called immediately after that again and should not fail in that case.
+ *	The driver should not call cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped() for a requested
+ *	stop (when this method returns 0).
+ *
+ * @mgmt_frame_register: Notify driver that a management frame type was
+ *	registered. The callback is allowed to sleep.
+ *
+ * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
+ *	Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
+ *	reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
+ *	(also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
+ *
+ * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
+ *
+ * @tdls_mgmt: Transmit a TDLS management frame.
+ * @tdls_oper: Perform a high-level TDLS operation (e.g. TDLS link setup).
+ *
+ * @probe_client: probe an associated client, must return a cookie that it
+ *	later passes to cfg80211_probe_status().
+ *
+ * @set_noack_map: Set the NoAck Map for the TIDs.
+ *
+ * @get_channel: Get the current operating channel for the virtual interface.
+ *	For monitor interfaces, it should return %NULL unless there's a single
+ *	current monitoring channel.
+ *
+ * @start_p2p_device: Start the given P2P device.
+ * @stop_p2p_device: Stop the given P2P device.
+ *
+ * @set_mac_acl: Sets MAC address control list in AP and P2P GO mode.
+ *	Parameters include ACL policy, an array of MAC address of stations
+ *	and the number of MAC addresses. If there is already a list in driver
+ *	this new list replaces the existing one. Driver has to clear its ACL
+ *	when number of MAC addresses entries is passed as 0. Drivers which
+ *	advertise the support for MAC based ACL have to implement this callback.
+ *
+ * @start_radar_detection: Start radar detection in the driver.
+ *
+ * @end_cac: End running CAC, probably because a related CAC
+ *	was finished on another phy.
+ *
+ * @update_ft_ies: Provide updated Fast BSS Transition information to the
+ *	driver. If the SME is in the driver/firmware, this information can be
+ *	used in building Authentication and Reassociation Request frames.
+ *
+ * @crit_proto_start: Indicates a critical protocol needs more link reliability
+ *	for a given duration (milliseconds). The protocol is provided so the
+ *	driver can take the most appropriate actions.
+ * @crit_proto_stop: Indicates critical protocol no longer needs increased link
+ *	reliability. This operation can not fail.
+ * @set_coalesce: Set coalesce parameters.
+ *
+ * @channel_switch: initiate channel-switch procedure (with CSA). Driver is
+ *	responsible for veryfing if the switch is possible. Since this is
+ *	inherently tricky driver may decide to disconnect an interface later
+ *	with cfg80211_stop_iface(). This doesn't mean driver can accept
+ *	everything. It should do it's best to verify requests and reject them
+ *	as soon as possible.
+ *
+ * @set_qos_map: Set QoS mapping information to the driver
+ *
+ * @set_ap_chanwidth: Set the AP (including P2P GO) mode channel width for the
+ *	given interface This is used e.g. for dynamic HT 20/40 MHz channel width
+ *	changes during the lifetime of the BSS.
+ *
+ * @add_tx_ts: validate (if admitted_time is 0) or add a TX TS to the device
+ *	with the given parameters; action frame exchange has been handled by
+ *	userspace so this just has to modify the TX path to take the TS into
+ *	account.
+ *	If the admitted time is 0 just validate the parameters to make sure
+ *	the session can be created at all; it is valid to just always return
+ *	success for that but that may result in inefficient behaviour (handshake
+ *	with the peer followed by immediate teardown when the addition is later
+ *	rejected)
+ * @del_tx_ts: remove an existing TX TS
+ *
+ * @join_ocb: join the OCB network with the specified parameters
+ *	(invoked with the wireless_dev mutex held)
+ * @leave_ocb: leave the current OCB network
+ *	(invoked with the wireless_dev mutex held)
+ *
+ * @tdls_channel_switch: Start channel-switching with a TDLS peer. The driver
+ *	is responsible for continually initiating channel-switching operations
+ *	and returning to the base channel for communication with the AP.
+ * @tdls_cancel_channel_switch: Stop channel-switching with a TDLS peer. Both
+ *	peers must be on the base channel when the call completes.
+ * @start_nan: Start the NAN interface.
+ * @stop_nan: Stop the NAN interface.
+ * @add_nan_func: Add a NAN function. Returns negative value on failure.
+ *	On success @nan_func ownership is transferred to the driver and
+ *	it may access it outside of the scope of this function. The driver
+ *	should free the @nan_func when no longer needed by calling
+ *	cfg80211_free_nan_func().
+ *	On success the driver should assign an instance_id in the
+ *	provided @nan_func.
+ * @del_nan_func: Delete a NAN function.
+ * @nan_change_conf: changes NAN configuration. The changed parameters must
+ *	be specified in @changes (using &enum cfg80211_nan_conf_changes);
+ *	All other parameters must be ignored.
+ *
+ * @set_multicast_to_unicast: configure multicast to unicast conversion for BSS
+ *
+ * @get_txq_stats: Get TXQ stats for interface or phy. If wdev is %NULL, this
+ *      function should return phy stats, and interface stats otherwise.
+ *
+ * @set_pmk: configure the PMK to be used for offloaded 802.1X 4-Way handshake.
+ *	If not deleted through @del_pmk the PMK remains valid until disconnect
+ *	upon which the driver should clear it.
+ *	(invoked with the wireless_dev mutex held)
+ * @del_pmk: delete the previously configured PMK for the given authenticator.
+ *	(invoked with the wireless_dev mutex held)
+ *
+ * @external_auth: indicates result of offloaded authentication processing from
+ *     user space
+ *
+ * @tx_control_port: TX a control port frame (EAPoL).  The noencrypt parameter
+ *	tells the driver that the frame should not be encrypted.

+ *	reason to override the default
+ * @WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP: supports 4addr mode even on AP (with a single station
+ *	on a VLAN interface). This flag also serves an extra purpose of
+ *	supporting 4ADDR AP mode on devices which do not support AP/VLAN iftype.
+ * @WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_STATION: supports 4addr mode even as a station
+ * @WIPHY_FLAG_CONTROL_PORT_PROTOCOL: This device supports setting the
+ *	control port protocol ethertype. The device also honours the
+ *	control_port_no_encrypt flag.
+ * @WIPHY_FLAG_IBSS_RSN: The device supports IBSS RSN.
+ * @WIPHY_FLAG_MESH_AUTH: The device supports mesh authentication by routing

+ *	command. When this flag is not set, @NL80211_CMD_TDLS_OPER should be
+ *	used for asking the driver/firmware to perform a TDLS operation.
+ * @WIPHY_FLAG_HAVE_AP_SME: device integrates AP SME
+ * @WIPHY_FLAG_REPORTS_OBSS: the device will report beacons from other BSSes
+ *	when there are virtual interfaces in AP mode by calling
