Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: mac: fix struct ieee80211_sband_iftype_data handling

From: Kalle Valo <[email protected]>

Commit e8c1841278a7 ("wifi: cfg80211: annotate iftype_data pointer with
sparse") added sparse checks for struct ieee80211_sband_iftype_data handling
which immediately found an issue in ath11k:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:7952:22: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:7952:22: expected struct ieee80211_sta_he_cap const *he_cap
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:7952:22: got struct ieee80211_sta_he_cap const [noderef] __iftype_data *

The problem here is that we are accessing sband->iftype_data directly even
though we should use for_each_sband_iftype_data(). Now we iterate over each
item in the array and use the correct vif type which this vif is using.

Johannes pointed out that I should use ieee80211_get_he_iftype_cap_vif()
instead. I'll submit v2.

And I'll note that it's not just because it saves open-coding it, also
the BIT(vif->type) in mac80211 will be wrong because it's always STATION
even for P2P-Client, so you need to add the vif->p2p bit in.

We maybe shouldn't have done that ... but it seemed kinda nicer at the
time to treat them both the same except in special cases.
