Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ath11k: fix 4-addr tx failure for AP and STA modes

From: Sathishkumar Muruganandam <[email protected]>

Ath11k FW requires peer parameter WMI_PEER_USE_4ADDR to be set for
4-addr peers allowing 4-address frame transmission to those peers.

Add ath11k driver callback for sta_set_4addr() to queue new workq
set_4addr_wk only once based on new boolean, use_4addr_set.

sta_set_4addr() will be called during 4-addr STA association cases
applicable for both AP and STA modes.

In ath11k_sta_set_4addr_wk(),

AP mode:
WMI_PEER_USE_4ADDR will be set for the corresponding
associated 4-addr STA(s)

STA mode:
WMI_PEER_USE_4ADDR will be set for the AP to which the
4-addr STA got associated.

Tested-on: IPQ8074 WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-01238-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

There's no locking for accessing arsta->use_4addr_set. Most likely it's
just a theoretical issue but wanted to point out anyway. Maybe mac80211
handles serialisation of this callback?

I'm going to apply this patch anyway so that I get my patch queue
smaller, we can fix any issues in a followup patch.
