Marek Vasut c6e31be0f7 wifi: rsi: Fix handling of 802.3 EAPOL frames sent via control port 
[ Upstream commit b8f6efccbb ]

When using wpa_supplicant v2.10, this driver is no longer able to
associate with any AP and fails in the EAPOL 4-way handshake while
sending the 2/4 message to the AP. The problem is not present in
wpa_supplicant v2.9 or older. The problem stems from HostAP commit
144314eaa ("wpa_supplicant: Send EAPOL frames over nl80211 where available")
which changes the way EAPOL frames are sent, from them being send
at L2 frames to them being sent via nl80211 control port.

An EAPOL frame sent as L2 frame is passed to the WiFi driver with
skb->protocol ETH_P_PAE, while EAPOL frame sent via nl80211 control
port has skb->protocol set to ETH_P_802_3 . The later happens in
ieee80211_tx_control_port(), where the EAPOL frame is encapsulated
into 802.3 frame.

The rsi_91x driver handles ETH_P_PAE EAPOL frames as high-priority
frames and sends them via highest-priority transmit queue, while
the ETH_P_802_3 frames are sent as regular frames. The EAPOL 4-way
handshake frames must be sent as highest-priority, otherwise the
4-way handshake times out.

Therefore, to fix this problem, inspect the skb control flags and
if flag IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_PORT_CTRL_PROTO is set, assume this is
an EAPOL frame and transmit the frame via high-priority queue just
like other ETH_P_PAE frames.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
