wifi: mac80211: generate EMA beacons in AP mode

Browse source

Add APIs to generate an array of beacons for an EMA AP (enhanced
multiple BSSID advertisements), each including a single MBSSID element.
EMA profile periodicity equals the count of elements.

- ieee80211_beacon_get_template_ema_list() - Generate and return all
EMA beacon templates. Drivers must call ieee80211_beacon_free_ema_list()
to free the memory. No change in the prototype for the existing API,
ieee80211_beacon_get_template(), which should be used for non-EMA AP.

- ieee80211_beacon_get_template_ema_index() - Generate a beacon which
includes the multiple BSSID element at the given index. Drivers can use
this function in a loop until NULL is returned which indicates end of
available MBSSID elements.

- ieee80211_beacon_free_ema_list() - free the memory allocated for the
list of EMA beacon templates.

Modify existing functions ieee80211_beacon_get_ap(),
ieee80211_get_mbssid_beacon_len() and ieee80211_beacon_add_mbssid()
to accept a new parameter for EMA index.
