cfg80211: make ethtool the driver's responsibility Currently, cfg80211 tries to implement ethtool, but that doesn't really scale well, with all the different operations. Make the lower-level driver responsible for it, which currently only has an effect on mac80211. It will similarly not scale well at that level though, since mac80211 also has many drivers. To cleanly implement this in mac80211, introduce a new file and move some code to appropriate places. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

mac80211: remove sta->tx_fragments counter This counter is unsafe with concurrent TX and is only exposed through debugfs and ethtool. Instead of trying to fix it just remove it for now, if it's really needed then it should be exposed through nl80211 and in a way that drivers that do the fragmentation in the device could support it as well.

mac80211: move beacon_loss_count into ifmgd There's little point in keeping (and even sending to userspace) the beacon_loss_count value per station, since it can only apply to the AP on a managed-mode connection. Move the value to ifmgd, advertise it only in managed mode, and remove it from ethtool as it's available through better interfaces. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

mac80211: move station statistics into sub-structs Group station statistics by where they're (mostly) updated (TX, RX and TX-status) and group them into sub-structs of the struct sta_info. Also rename the variables since the grouping now makes it obvious where they belong. This makes it easier to identify where the statistics are updated in the code, and thus easier to think about them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

cfg80211: remove enum station_info_flags This is really just duplicating the list of information that's already available in the nl80211 attribute, so remove the list. Two small changes are needed: * remove STATION_INFO_ASSOC_REQ_IES complete, but the length (assoc_req_ies_len) can be used instead * add NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_DROP_MISC which exists internally but not in nl80211 yet This gets rid of the duplicate maintenance of the two lists.

cfg80211: remove "channel" from survey names All of the survey data is (currently) per channel anyway, so having the word "channel" in the name does nothing. In the next patch I'll introduce global data to the survey, where the word "channel" is actually confusing. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
