This patchsets introduced new NL command and api to support
configuring rssi for the connected stations and api to notify
userspace application upon crossing the configured threshold.
This will be useful for the application which requires
station's current signal strength change information.
Monitoring station's signal strength through station dump command
will unnecessarily increase the system overhead. This event based
mechanism will reduce the system overhead and helps application to
take a decision for the station for which event received.

1.7.9.5
Add infrastructure to configure station specific RSSI threshold
configuration to monitor station's signal strength variation.
This configuration will be useful for the application like
steering which requires change in the station's current signal
strength.
New NL80211_CMD_STA_MON introduced to configure the RSSI threshold
using NL80211_ATTR_CQM nested attributes. The MAC address of
a station is passed in NL80211_ATTR_MAC. And NL80211_ATTR_STA_MON_FIXED_THOLD
introduced to have this RSSI threshold as a fixed(not modifying the
low and high threshold upon crossing the threshold) or moving(modifying
low and high threshold upon crossing the threshold) thresholds.
Depends on the application's use case user can have either fixed or
moving RSSI range thresholds.
cfg80211_sta_mon_rssi_notify introduced to notify change in the
station's signal stregnth cross event using NL80211_CMD_NOTIFY_STA_MON.
Driver supporting this feature should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_STA_MON_RSSI_CONFIG feature flag.

1.7.9.5
Implement set_sta_mon_rssi_config API to configure station
specific rssi threshold value to monitor change in connected
station's signal strength. RSSI low and high threshold values
will be calculated as per the station's current signal strength,
if the configuration needs to be a fixed threshold then the user
given value will be chosen as low and high threshold.
And this patch triggers cfg80211_sta_mon_rssi_notify with the
corresponding event when station signal goes out of configured threshold.
It uses rx data signal to check against rssi threshold configured by the user.
And update the lower and upper RSSI threshold for the station if it is not
configured as a fixed threshold.
This event will be useful for the application like steering to take
decision on any station depends on its current link quality.

This is wrong, you need to use NLA_POLICY_NESTED().

Please use NLA_POLICY_RANGE(NLA_U8, 0, 1).
Also, I'm not sure I really understand the documentation for this value.

Why rename the perfectly fine variable to some abbreviation?

This looks wrong, you should use RCU_INIT_POINTER()?
And you should do it the other way around I think? I.e.
old = sta->rssi_config;
RCU_INIT_POINTER(sta->rssi_config, NULL);
kfree_rcu(old, rcu_head);

Please add documentation (as built bot pointed out shortly after patch
posting!)
