Subject: [PATCH 0/4] ath10k: fix mesh sync operation

This patchset introduces a new ieee80211_op offset_tsf(), which gives
the driver a s64 TSF offset for TSF adjustment. This is more accurate
than programming absolute TSF since programming delay is avoided.

ath10k can't get the current TSF or program an absolute TSF, so we
remove those ops to not mislead the stack and hopefully avoid future
bugs.

Tested on QCA4019 with firmware 10.4-3.2.1-0033. After this change
Toffset remains stable to within 5us.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ath10k: remove set/get_tsf ieee80211_ops

Neither of these did the right thing:

- get_tsf just returned 0
- set_tsf assumed a simple offset was applied against
get_tsf(), which works, except in the case of
calculating TSF from rx_mactime (actual TSF).

Just remove them for now. We can reimplement set_tsf in
terms of TSF increment/decrement in the future if get_tsf
is ever supported by FW.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mac80211: mesh: decrease max drift

The old value was 30ms, which means mesh sync will treat
any value below as merely TSF drift. This isn't really
reasonable (typical drift is < 10us/s) since people
probably want to adjust TSF in smaller increments (for ie.
beacon collision avoidance) without mesh sync fighting
back.

Change max drift adjustment to 0.8ms, so manual TSF
adjustments can be made in 1ms increments, with some
margin.

You were lucky we have patchwork, otherwise I would've missed the
mac80211 patches in this series :)

Applied both now - no reason to apply them in the order you sent them.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ath10k: implement offset_tsf ieee80211_op

Current set_tsf is implemented in terms of TSF_INCREMENT
only. Instead support new WMI command TSF_DECREMENT and
export these through offset_tsf. Advantage is we get
more accurate TSF adjustments, and don't calculate wrong
offset in case absolute TSF was calculated from rx_mactime
(actual TSF).

The new WMI command is available in firmware
10.4-3.2.1-00033 for QCA4019 chips. Old drivers on new
firmware or vice versa shouldn't be a problem since
get/set tsf logic was already broken.
