iwlwifi: mvm: Handle power management constraints for additional use-cases
Today, the driver logic looks for the conditions to disable power management albeit power management should be enabled in a very few distinct cases. This patch changes the driver logic to enable power management once the required conditions met. While at it, make some housekeeping and support a few additional use cases: a) Add support for a standalone p2p client: Power management should be enabled for a P2P client MAC only if the firmware supports it (TLV flag is set). Instead we used the DCM flag, therefore we didn't cover use cases that did not include the DCM flag. b) Add support to Same-Channel-Mode (SCM): If both clients share the same channel (SCM), and there are no other active vifs in the system, power management should be enabled only if the firmware supports this (TLV flag is set). c) Fix power management logic for GO/AP: Today, when we detect an active GO / AP MAC - we disable power management for all the vifs altogether. Actually, the correct behavior is to enable power management on a client if on a different channel (based on the firmware capabilities). d) Housekeeping - Along with that, this patch includes some code-reorganizing: Today the logic of disabling power is scattered across several functions, specifically in the iterator. For the sake of both readability and scalability, we moved this logic to its applicable function, leaving the iterator gather information only. Furthermore, as power management is a MAC-related attribute, we moved the power management member to the iwl_mvm_vif structure.
