Subject: [PATCH V4 1/3] brcmfmac: detect firmware support for monitor interface

From: Rafał Miłecki <[email protected]>

Many/most of firmwares support creating monitor interface but only the
most recent ones explicitly /announce/ it using a "monitor" entry in the
list of capabilities.

Check for that entry and store internally info about monitor mode
support using a new feature flag. Once we sort out all details of
handling monitor interface it will be used when reporting available
interfaces to the cfg80211.

Later some fallback detecion method may be added for older firmwares.
For now just stick to the "monitor" capability which should be 100%
reliable.

Subject: [PATCH V4 3/3] brcmfmac: handle msgbuf packets marked with monitor mode flag

From: Rafał Miłecki <[email protected]>

New Broadcom firmwares mark monitor mode packets using a newly defined
bit in the flags field. Use it to filter them out and pass to the
monitor interface. These defines were found in bcmmsgbuf.h from SDK.

As not every firmware generates radiotap header this commit introduces
BRCMF_FEAT_MONITOR_FMT_RADIOTAP flag. It has to be has based on firmware
capabilities. If not present brcmf_netif_mon_rx() will assume packet is
a raw 802.11 frame and will prepend it with an empty radiotap header.

This new code is limited to the msgbuf protocol at this point. Adding
support for SDIO/USB devices will require some extra work (possibly a
new firmware release).

BTW, we now have Co-Developed-by:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#when=
-to-use-acked-by-cc-and-co-developed-by

But no need to change this patch, just a tip for the future. I assume
this patchset is good to go and will apply it soon.

Depending on used build-time options some firmwares may already include
radiotap header in passed monitor frames. Add a new feature flag to
store info about it. It's needed for proper handling of received frames
before passing them up.
