In scenarios where we haven't converged yet to a specific modulation
and rate it could be better to report to userspace the last tx rate
based on the STA capabilities and RSSI. This is important as sometimes
userspace displays the last tx rate as the link speed.
This avoids being presented with low legacy rates when rs just begins
its search or after an idle period in which it resets itself.

Currently, loading the firmware fails when it has higher API or CAPA
bits than the driver supports. That's an issue with integration.
At the same time, actually using api[0] and capa[0] will become
confusing when we also have api[1] and capa[1], and it's almost
certain that we'll mix up the bits and use the bits for api[1] with
api[0] by accident.
Avoid all this by translating the API/CAPA bits to the regular kernel
test_bit() format, and also providing wrapper functions. Also use the
__bitwise__ facility of sparse to check that we're testing the right
one.

When the driver callback returns that it's out of space for new
stations, the mac80211 IBSS code still keeps the station so it
doesn't try to add it over and over again.
Since the rate scaling algorithm is separate in mac80211, it also
invokes the rate scaling algorithm for such stations. It doesn't
know that our rate scaling algorithm is tightly integrated with
the MVM code and relies on those data structures, and it cannot
as the abstraction doesn't allow for it.
This leads to crashes when the rate scaling algorithm tries to
use uninitialized data, notably the mvmsta->vif pointer.
Protect against this in the rate scaling algorithm. We cannot get
good rates with such peers anyway since the firmware cannot do
anything with them.
This should fix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93461

Once the FW supports autonomous decision between STBC/BFER/SISO
we no longer set the STBC bit and ANT_AB in the rate table.
However the FW rate in the tx response will have the STBC
or BFER bit set and the antennas set to ANT_AB in case these
were chosen by it. This will cause us to discard any such
response as unmatching the current LQ table and thus break
the rs search cycle completely.
Fix this by relaxing the rate matching in case we're working
with the new API and STBC/BFER are used.

rate to make sure this tx frame used the current LQ table.
Instead of using the translated mac80211 info it's easier and

When Tx STBC is being used and RS switches to a search column
using the alternate antenna from the current one there is a
problem with using rs_rate_match to figure out which table
is the active and which one is the search one. The root cause
is because in STBC the antenna mask in the ucode rate is set
to ANT_AB and in this specific scenario it matches both the
active and search table (e.g. SISO_ANT_A and SISO_ANT_B).
This leads to tx stats being updated in the wrong table and later
on to getting stuck in a test window and not moving on to other
columns. If this happens during the initial search cycle we
never end it and therefore never enable aggregation which leads
naturally to severe througput degradation.
Fix it by deducing which table is which by knowing whether we're
in a search or not like it's being done in rs_rate_scale_perform
