    iwlwifi: mvm: change protocol offload flows · c97dab40
    Sara Sharon authored
    RFC4862 states that "In all cases, a node MUST NOT respond to
    a Neighbor Solicitation for a tentative address".
    Currently the driver configures the NS offload and does not wait
    for address to become permanent, thus violating the RFC.
    Just removing the address from the address list is not good enough
    for all cases, since the NS messages are needed for the duplicate
    address detection and should not be discarded.
    
    For d0i3 disable NS offload. Put tentative address in the address
    list so the NS packet will not be filtered out by ucode.
    For D3 the platform will not wake from NS packets - so enable
    NS offload while removing the tentative address from the list.
    
    Given that now NS offload might be disabled, and that the ucode
    uses the IP data for other puroposes (L3 filtering) add two
    independent flags indicating if IPv4\IPv6 data is valid.
