MediaTek has asked to switch from the ISC license to BSD-3-Clause-Clear,
in order to improve clarity and the legal integrity of the code.
The BSD-3-Clause license includes the "no endorsement" clause, which is
important for protecting the reputation of the original authors and
contributors by preventing unauthorized use of their names for endorsement
purposes.
This clause is absent in the BSD-2-Clause license, which is more permissive
but lacks this specific protection.
This change also cleans up the license of some Kconfig/Makefile files,
which were accidentally marked as GPL.
The GPL 2.0 remains in use on mt76x0, as well as two source files in mt7615
for which the license situation still needs to be clarified.

Before preparing the new beacon, check the queue status, flush out all
previous beacons and buffered multicast packets, then (if necessary)
try to recover more gracefully from a stuck beacon condition by making a
less invasive attempt at getting the MAC un-stuck.

Setting MT_TX_ABORT does not abort any transmission for a wtbl index on its
own. Instead, it modifies the behavior of a queue flush to make it selectively
flush packets for a particular wtbl index.
Adjust powersave filtering to make use of this in order to avoid running into
unnecessary timeouts while flushing

The iv from RXD is only for TKIP_RSC/CCMP_PN/GCMP_PN, and it needs a
check for CCMP header insertion. Move mt76_cipher_type to mt76.h to
reduce duplicated code.

Tx status reporting on mt7603 has a number of issues:
- the hardware can alter the first rate index, but it is not reported to
the driver
- probing is very imprecise, because it alters the per-client rate set,
but only considers info->status.rates for rate selection of a single probe
packet
- short/long GI selection has limitations, which are not accurately reported
to mac80211
- if rates are changed while packets are in flight, tx status reports for
the old rate set might be processed based on the new selection
This led to very suboptimal rate selection with minstrel_ht.
This patch completely reworks tx status reporting to get rid of these
limitations:
- Store the previous and current rate set in the driver + the TSF value
at the time of the switch.
- Use the tx status TSF value to determine which rate set needs to be used
as reference.
- Report only short or long GI rates for a single status event, not a mix.
- The hardware reports the last used rate index. Use it along with the
retry count to figure out what rate was used for the first attempt.
- Use the same retry count value for all rate slots to make this calculation
work.
- Derive the probe rate from the current rateset instead of the skb cb
- Do not wait for a status report for the probe frame before removing the
probe rate from the rate table. Do it immediately after it was referenced
in a tx status report.
- Use the first half of the first rate retry budget for the probe rate
in order to avoid using too many retries on that rate
With this patch, throughput under bad link conditions is improved
significantly, and there is a lot less rate fluctuation going on.

The previous version only accidentally disabled A-MSDU deaggregation by
using the wrong mask for rx length configuration, which left previous
length value in place.
Fix the length and initialize the register completely to keep A-MSDU
de-aggregation remaining disabled

Use PSE registers to loop back any pending tx packets for a client that
just went to sleep back into the MCU rx queue.
Re-queue those packets to the tx queue immediately after a client wakes up.
