      iwlwifi: mvm: fix time event command handling race · e3722822
      Johannes Berg authored
      Occasionally, we would run into this warning:

      The reason is a problem with asynchronous vs. synchronous
      commands, what happens here is the following:
       * TE 0x2601 is removed, the TIME_EVENT_CMD for that is async
       * a new TE (will be 0x2701) is created, the TIME_EVENT_CMD
         for that is sync and also uses a notification wait for the
         response (to avoid another race condition)
       * the response for the TE 0x2601 removal comes from the
         firmware, and is handled by the notification wait handler
         that's really waiting for the second response, but can't
         tell the difference, we therefore see the message
         "TIME_EVENT_CMD response - UID = 0x2601" instead of
         "TIME_EVENT_CMD response - UID = 0x2701".
      
      Fix this issue by making the TE removal synchronous as well,
      this means that we wait for the response to that command
      first, before there's any chance of sending a new one.
      
      Also, to detect such issues more easily in the future, add
      a warning to the notification handler that detects them.

      This is helpful for debugging the time event warning,
      but also in general to see what's going on.

      iwlwifi: mvm: fix GO powersave client manipulation · 9cc40712
      Johannes Berg authored
      All station commands must include a valid MAC ID,
      the ID 0 is randomly valid in some cases, but we
      must set the ID properly. Do that by passing the
      right station and using its mac_id_n_color.

      iwlwifi: mvm: program DTIM timings properly · d2931bbd
      Johannes Berg authored
      For the firmware to know when DTIM beacons arrive
      we have to program the DTIM time in TSF and system
      time in the MAC context. Since mac80211 now tracks
      the different times (on demand), this becomes easy.
