    mac80211: add rx decapsulation offload support · 80a915ec
    Felix Fietkau authored
    This allows drivers to pass 802.3 frames to mac80211, with some restrictions:
    
    - the skb must be passed with a valid sta
    - fast-rx needs to be active for the sta
    - monitor mode needs to be disabled
    
    mac80211 will tell the driver when it is safe to enable rx decap offload for
    a particular station.
    
    In order to implement support, a driver must:
    
    - call ieee80211_hw_set(hw, SUPPORTS_RX_DECAP_OFFLOAD)
    - implement ops->sta_set_decap_offload
    - mark 802.3 frames with RX_FLAG_8023
    
    If it doesn't want to enable offload for some vif types, it can mask out
    IEEE80211_OFFLOAD_DECAP_ENABLED in vif->offload_flags from within the
    .add_interface or .update_vif_offload driver ops
