ath11k currently reports survey results for the last interval between each
invocation of NL80211_CMD_GET_SURVEY. For concurrent invocations, this
can lead to unexpectedly small results, e.g. when hostapd uses survey
data and iw survey dump is invoked in parallel. Fix this by returning
cumulative results, that don't depend on the last invocation. Other
drivers, e.g. ath9k or mt76 also use this behavior.

What about the survey modifying code in ath11k_chan_info_event?
Kind regards,
Sven

Markus,
It depends on type of survey request is given to firmware. In ath11k,
firmware reports
accumulated values. So the above addition is wrong and report double
value. Have you
tested this change?

Ok, so please drop both of my patches. My assumptions were incomplete
and too humble. I just assumed, ath10k and ath11k both use incremental
surveys.

Markus,
The ath10k driver still counts survey stats incrementally. But it should
be handled by sending
appropriate survey request_type to firmware.
