A bunch of bugfixes for running mwifiex in the P2P and AP mode, for some prior
discussions, see https://github.com/linux-surface/kernel/pull/71.
Jonas Dreßler (9):
mwifiex: Small cleanup for handling virtual interface type changes
mwifiex: Use function to check whether interface type change is
allowed
mwifiex: Run SET_BSS_MODE when changing from P2P to STATION vif-type
mwifiex: Use helper function for counting interface types
mwifiex: Update virtual interface counters right after setting
bss_type
mwifiex: Allow switching interface type from P2P_CLIENT to P2P_GO
mwifiex: Handle interface type changes from AP to STATION
mwifiex: Properly initialize private structure on interface type
changes
mwifiex: Fix copy-paste mistake when creating virtual interface

2.31.1
Handle the obvious invalid virtual interface type changes with a general
check instead of looking at the individual change.
For type changes from P2P_CLIENT to P2P_GO and the other way round, this
changes the behavior slightly: We now still do nothing, but return
-EOPNOTSUPP instead of 0. Now that behavior was incorrect before and
still is, because type changes between these two types are actually
possible and supported, which we'll fix in a following commit.

Instead of bailing out in the function which is supposed to do the type
change, detect invalid changes beforehand using a generic function and
return an error if the change is not allowed.

2.31.1
In mwifiex_init_new_priv_params() we update our private driver state to
reflect the currently selected virtual interface type. Most notably we
set the bss_mode to the mode we're going to put the firmware in.
Now after we updated the driver state we actually start talking to the
firmware and instruct it to set up the new mode. Those commands can and
will sometimes fail, in which case we return with an error from
mwifiex_change_vif_to_*. We currently update our virtual interface type
counters after this return, which means the code is never reached when a
firmware error happens and we never update the counters. Since we have
updated our bss_mode earlier though, the counters now no longer reflect
the actual state of the driver.
This will break things on the next virtual interface change, because the
virtual interface type we're switching away from didn't get its counter
incremented, and we end up decrementing a 0-counter.
To fix this, simply update the virtual interface type counters right
after updating our driver structures, so that they are always in sync.

2.31.1
We currently handle changing from the P2P to the STATION virtual
interface type slightly different than changing from P2P to ADHOC: When
changing to STATION, we don't send the SET_BSS_MODE command. We do send
that command on all other type-changes though, and it probably makes
sense to send the command since after all we just changed our BSS_MODE.
Looking at prior changes to this part of the code, it seems that this is
simply a leftover from old refactorings.
Since sending the SET_BSS_MODE command is the only difference between
mwifiex_change_vif_to_sta_adhoc() and the current code, we can now use
mwifiex_change_vif_to_sta_adhoc() for both switching to ADHOC and
STATION interface type.
This does not fix any particular bug and just "looked right", so there's
a small chance it might be a regression.

Use a small helper function to increment and decrement the counter of
the interface types we currently manage. This makes the code that
actually changes and sets up the interface type a bit less messy and
also helps avoiding mistakes in case someone increments/decrements a
counter wrongly.

The BSS priority here for a new P2P_CLIENT device was accidentally set
to an enum that's certainly not meant for this. Since
MWIFIEX_BSS_ROLE_STA is 0 anyway, we can just set the bss_priority to 0
instead here.

2.31.1
When creating a new virtual interface in mwifiex_add_virtual_intf(), we
update our internal driver states like bss_type, bss_priority, bss_role
and bss_mode to reflect the mode the firmware will be set to.
When switching virtual interface mode using
mwifiex_init_new_priv_params() though, we currently only update bss_mode
and bss_role. In order for the interface mode switch to actually work,
we also need to update bss_type to its proper value, so do that.
This fixes a crash of the firmware (because the driver tries to execute
commands that are invalid in AP mode) when switching from station mode
to AP mode.

It's possible to change virtual interface type between P2P_CLIENT and
P2P_GO, the card supports that just fine, and it happens for example
when using miracast with the miraclecast software.
So allow type changes between P2P_CLIENT and P2P_GO and simply call into
mwifiex_change_vif_to_p2p(), which handles this just fine. We have to
call mwifiex_cfg80211_deinit_p2p() before though to make sure the old
p2p mode is properly uninitialized.
