Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

Split the bss_info_changed method to vif_cfg_changed and
link_info_changed, with the latter getting a link ID.
Also change the 'changed' parameter to u64 already, we
know we need that.

We'll use bss_conf for per-link configuration later, so
move out all the non-link-specific data out into a new
struct ieee80211_vif_cfg used in the vif.

Some adjustments were done with the following spatch:

    @@
    expression sdata;
    struct ieee80211_vif *vifp;
    identifier var = { assoc, ibss_joined, aid, arp_addr_list, arp_addr_cnt, ssid, ssid_len, s1g, ibss_creator };
    @@
    (
    -sdata-&gt;vif.bss_conf.var

    @@
    -bss_conf-&gt;var
    +vif_cfg-&gt;var

(though more manual fixups were needed, e.g. replacing
"vif_cfg-&gt;" by "vif-&gt;cfg." in many files.)

<title>wifi: carl9170: silence a GCC 12 -Warray-bounds warning</title>

carl9170 has a big union (struct carl9170_cmd) with all the command
types in it. But it allocates buffers only large enough for a given
command. This upsets GCC 12:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/cmd.c:125:30: warning: array subscript ‘struct carl9170_cmd[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘unsigned char[8]’ [-Warray-bounds]
  125 |                 tmp-&gt;hdr.cmd = cmd;
      |                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~

Punt the warning to W=1 for now. Hopefully GCC will learn to
recognize which fields are in-bounds.

<title>carl9170: tx: fix an incorrect use of list iterator</title>

<content type='text'>
If the previous list_for_each_entry_continue_rcu() don't exit early
(no goto hit inside the loop), the iterator 'cvif' after the loop
will be a bogus pointer to an invalid structure object containing
the HEAD (&amp;ar-&gt;vif_list). As a result, the use of 'cvif' after that
will lead to a invalid memory access (i.e., 'cvif-&gt;id': the invalid
pointer dereference when return back to/after the callsite in the
carl9170_update_beacon()).

The original intention should have been to return the valid 'cvif'
when found in list, NULL otherwise. So just return NULL when no
entry found, to fix this bug.

<title>mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:046d2e7c50e3087a32a85fd384c21f896dbccf83</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.

With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.

To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.

For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.

For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.

Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.

Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.

  @ieee80211_sta@
  struct ieee80211_sta *s;
  struct sta_info *si;
  identifier var = {supp_rates, ht_cap, vht_cap, he_cap, he_6ghz_capa, eht_cap, rx_nss, bandwidth, txpwr};

driver keeps the same survey_info struct for its lifetime around.
This is used because while firmware does help by providing accounting
information of the current channel, it doesn't keep track on the
remaining channels.
