[PATCH ath-next 0/2] wifi: ath11k: firmware airtime fairness, BSS color while disabled

[Andrei-Alexandru Bleortu]

Two ath11k patches that need the mac80211 changes in "[PATCH
wireless-next 0/2] wifi: mac80211: airtime weight op, BSS color during
a color change" (<cover.1791111135.1.git.me@xxxxxxxxxxxx>):

1. Firmware airtime fairness (ATF) on the QCN9074 and IPQ5018, using
   Felix Fietkau's sta_set_airtime_weight op. Changes since v2: the
   command ID and TLV tags sit in their enums; a radio whose firmware
   refuses ATF keeps working without it; the commit message says the
   122 Mbit/s cap was measured with the firmware's strict scheduling
   set, which the patch does not do.
2. Keep the BSS color in the vdev parameter while the color is disabled
   during a color change (IEEE Std 802.11-2024, 26.11.4); with mac80211
   now keeping the color, the firmware gets it instead of 0.

They are based on ath-next with that series applied, and can wait for
it to reach ath-next.

The patches by me were written with an AI coding assistant (Claude
Code), which also drafted the changelogs; the testing described was done
on the hardware.

v2 also carried beacon protection, now dropped: with the firmware
signing beacons, a client that enforces beacon protection (Intel BE200,
iwlmld) lost every beacon on QCN9074 and IPQ5018, with either BIGTK
index and with or without a host-built MME. Until it is known what the
firmware needs, BIP stays in software and the feature is not advertised.
