Currently, packets received on the REO exception ring from
unassociated peers are of MSDU buffer type, while the driver expects
link descriptor type packets. These packets are not parsed further due
to a return check on packet type in ath12k_hal_desc_reo_parse_err(),
but the associated skb is not freed. This may lead to kernel
crashes and buffer leaks.

Hence to fix, update the RX error handler to explicitly drop
MSDU buffer type packets received on the REO exception ring.
This prevents further processing of invalid packets and ensures
stability in the RX error handling path.

Add a counter "reo_excep_msdu_buf_type" in
ath12k_debugfs_dump_device_dp_stats() to account for packets dropped
due to unexpected MSDU buffer types in the RX error path. These
packets are discarded to prevent incorrect parsing and potential
kernel crashes. This helps in debugging and monitoring RX error

Mac80211 schedules CSA finalize work twice during a channel switch: first
during the reserved switch phase and again during the finalize phase.
The beacon content is updated only during the second schedule, which occurs
after the reserved switch completes. However, the ath12k driver attempts to
bring up the VDEV during the channel switch callback
(ath12k_mac_update_vif_chan()), which leads to premature installation of
stale beacon templates before the updated content is available.

This premature VDEV bring-up causes outdated beacon information to be
broadcast, which can result in updated channel parameters during the
transition. In MBSSID scenarios, this behavior is particularly problematic
because the transmitting interface's beacon must be updated before
non-transmitting interfaces are brought up. Failing to do so can lead to
beacon mismatches across interfaces.

Introduce a is_csa_in_progress flag to defer VDEV_UP until CSA finalize is
complete. Set this flag during the channel switch callback when CSA is
active. In bss_info_changed(), check this flag and issue VDEV_UP only
after the beacon template has been updated.

Ensure that in MBSSID cases, the transmitting interface is brought up
first, followed by all non-transmitting interfaces. This ordering makes
sure correct beacon propagation and avoids stale beacon installation
during CSA transitions.

Additionally, move the call to ath12k_mac_update_peer_puncturing_width()
before VDEV bring-up during CSA handling. This ensures that the puncturing
bitmap and bandwidth settings are applied before the VDEV is brought up.

Currently, in ext_rx_stats, the NSS value is taken directly from
the firmware, which results in incorrect mapping:
        4x4, 3x3, 2x2, 1x1 SS are incorrectly updated as 3x3, 2x2,
1x1, 0x0 SS respectively.

Fix the issue by incrementing the NSS value by 1 while updating
the PPDU info to ensure accurate spatial stream statistics.

Remove the redundant +1 increment in the radiotap header when monitor
mode is enabled to prevent double counting.

While associating, firmware needs the peer's receive capability
to calculate its own VHT transmit MCS. Currently, the host
sends this information via mcs->rx_mcs_set field, but firmware
actually reads it from mcs->tx_mcs_set field. This mismatch is
incorrect.

This issue has not caused failures so far because most peers
advertise identical TX and RX capabilities. Fix this by
assigning the value to tx_mcs_set as expected.

Additionally, the rate control mask is intended to limit our
transmit MCS, so it should also apply to the peer's receive
capability. Update the logic accordingly.

Add support for handling BSS color collision events reported by firmware.

There are two scenarios where a BSS color collision may be detected:
1. The AP's MAC detects the collision directly, and firmware reports a
   BSS color collision event to the host.
2. A STA associated with the AP detects the collision. The notification
   frame from the peer is routed directly to the AP firmware, which handles
   it and sends the BSS color collision event to the host.

Add logic to parse and handle such events, and pass the data
up to mac80211.

Unlike CSA, firmware does not provide an offload mechanism for BSS color
change. Instead, the color change process is triggered via beacon offload
TX completion events sent by firmware.

BSS color feature is enabled depending on service flag advertised by
firmware, based on which color change functionality is invoked.

This change builds upon the following ath11k patch.
commit 886433a ("ath11k: add support for BSS color change")

Hardware target implements an address space larger than that PCI BAR can
map. In order to be able to access the whole target address space, the
BAR space is split into 4 segments, of which the last 3, called windows,
can be dynamically mapped to the desired area. This is achieved by
updating WINDOW_REG_ADDRESS register with appropriate window value.
Currently each time when accessing a register that beyond WINDOW_START,
host calculates the window value and caches it after window update,
this way next time when accessing a register falling in the same window,
host knows that the window is already good hence no additional update
needed.

However this mechanism breaks after global reset is triggered in
ath12k_pci_soc_global_reset(), because with global reset hardware resets
WINDOW_REG_ADDRESS register hence the window is not properly mapped any
more. Current host does nothing about this, as a result a subsequent
register access may not work as expected if it falls in a window same as
before.

Although there is no obvious issue seen now, better to fix it to avoid
future problem. The fix is done by restoring the window register after
global reset.

During firmware recovery or suspend/resume, m3 memory could be reused if
the size of the new m3 binary is equal to or less than that of the
existing memory. There will be issues for the latter case, since
m3_mem->size will be updated with a smaller value and this value is
eventually used in the free path, where the original total size should be
used instead.

To fix it, add a new member in m3_mem_region structure to track the original
memory size and use it in free path.

In ath12k_core_init() when ath12k_core_hw_group_create() fails,
ath12k_core_hw_group_destroy() is called where for each device below
path would get executed

	ath12k_core_soc_destroy()
		ath12k_qmi_deinit_service()
			qmi_handle_release()

This results in kernel crash in case one of the device fails at
qmi_handle_init() when creating hardware group:

The detailed reason is, when qmi_handle_init() fails for a device
ab->qmi.handle is not correctly initialized. Then
ath12k_core_hw_group_create() returns failure, since error handing
is done for all device, eventually qmi_handle_release() is called for the
issue device and finally kernel crashes due to the uninitialized
ab->qmi.handle.

Fix this by moving error handling to ath12k_core_hw_group_create(), this
way the issue device can be skipped.

Currently, ath12k_fw_stats_reset() is called in
ath12k_mac_get_fw_stats() before fetching the required stats from the
firmware. However, ath12k_open_bcn_stats() requests firmware stats for
each enabled BSS individually. Since the firmware stats are reset before
fetching, only the last BSS's data is displayed.

Also, in ath12k_mac_op_get_txpower(), ath12k_mac_op_sta_statistics(), and
ath12k_mac_op_link_sta_statistics(), after getting the stats from the
firmware, the reset function is not called until the next firmware
stats are requested or while unloading the module. Hence, the stats buffer
will not be freed until one of the above sequences is executed. However,
in ath12k_open_vdev_stats(), ath12k_open_bcn_stats() and
ath12k_open_pdev_stats(), firmware stats are reset after copying the
necessary data in ath12k_wmi_fw_stats_dump().

This leads to inconsistent usage of ath12k_fw_stats_reset() for
freeing the firmware stats.

Avoid these discrepancies by making it the caller's responsibility to
free the stats buffer, thereby removing the need to free the stats buffer
in ath12k_mac_get_fw_stats() and ath12k_wmi_fw_stats_dump().

Currently, for beacon_stats, ath12k_mac_get_fw_stats() is called
for each started BSS on the specified hardware.
ath12k_mac_get_fw_stats() will wait for the fw_stats_done completion
after fetching the requested data from firmware. For the beacon_stats,
fw_stats_done completion will be set only when stats are received for
all BSSes. However, for other stats like vdev_stats or pdev_stats, there
is one request to the firmware for all enabled BSSes. Since beacon_stats
is fetched individually for all BSSes enabled in that pdev, waiting for
the completion event results in a timeout error when multiple BSSes are
enabled.

Avoid this by completing the fw_stats_done immediately after
updating the requested BSS's beacon stats in the list. Subsequently,
this list will be used to display the beacon stats for all enabled
BSSes in the requested pdev.

Additionally, remove 'num_bcn_recvd' from the ath12k_fw_stats struct
as it is no longer needed.
