Manikanta Pubbisetty 4920ce3bf7 ath10k: add dynamic vlan support
Multicast/broadcast traffic destined for a particular vlan group will
always be encrypted in software. To enable dynamic VLANs, it requires
driver support for sending software encrypted packets.

In ath10k, sending software encrypted frames is allowed only when we insmod
the driver with cryptmode param set to 1, this configuration disables
hardware crypto and enables RAW mode implicitly. Since, enabling raw
mode has performance impact, this cannot be considered as an ideal
solution for supporting VLANs in the driver.

As an alternative take, in this approach, cryptographic keys for
unicast traffic (per peer PTKs) and keys for non-vlan group traffic
will be configured in hardware, allowing hardware encryption for unicast
and non-vlan group traffic. Only vlan group traffic will be encrypted in
software and pushed to the target with encap mode set to RAW in the TX
descriptors.

Not all firmwares can support this type of key configuration(having few
keys installed in hardware and few only in software); for this purpose a
new WMI service flag "WMI_SERVICE_PER_PACKET_SW_ENCRYPT" is introduced to
advertise this support.

Also, adding the logic required to send sw encrypted frames in raw mode.

Hardwares Tested : QCA9984, QCA988X
Firmwares Tested : 10.4-3.5.3-00057, 10.2.4-1.0-00042

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
