[PATCH rtw-next v3 0/2] wifi: rtw88: channel switch in AP mode

[Mehmet Fide]

From: Mehmet Fide <mehmet.fide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

An rtw88 AP cannot change its channel: the driver does not announce
channel switch support, so hostapd's CHAN_SWITCH is refused and the
only way is to tear the AP down. The series fixes the beacon download
the reserved page build makes twice, then implements
channel_switch_beacon on top of the firmware's beacon page.

v3:
- 1/2: the beacon out-pointer is initialised in the caller (Luka)
- 2/2: the countdown work lives in the interface, remove_interface
  cancels it unconditionally, the queue wrapper and the comments are
  gone (Ping-Ke)
- 2/2: the TIM update and the PG backup on set_key skip the page
  download while a switch is announced; every beacon fetch advances
  the countdown (Luka)
- 2/2: the commit message names the refused hardware scan (Ping-Ke)
- the hardware scan path ran on an RTL8822CU, whose firmware has scan
  offload: a scan with the AP up keeps the beacon and the station, a
  scan during a countdown is refused

v2:
- 2/2: a hardware scan is refused while a switch is announced
- the rtw89 mention is gone from the cover

Mehmet Fide (2):
  wifi: rtw88: download the beacon the reserved page was built with
  wifi: rtw88: support channel switch in AP mode
