When the driver implements .release_buffered_frames, mac80211 leaves the
U-APSD signalling entirely to the driver: "In this case it is also
responsible for setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames"
(include/net/mac80211.h). Only IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP was being set,
which merely ends the service period inside mac80211, so on air the
service period was never terminated. Clients that wait for EOSP before
going back to doze keep the SP open and stop triggering, which stalls all
downlink traffic for that station.
Set the wire EOSP bit on the last frame of a U-APSD service period.
EOSP has no meaning for a PS-Poll response, so pass the release reason
down and leave those frames alone.

A wcid is added to phy->tx_list whenever either tx_pending or
tx_offchannel becomes non-empty, but the requeue check after a partial
schedule required BOTH queues to be non-empty. When
mt76_txq_schedule_pending_wcid() returns -1 (queue stopped or
MT76_RESET) it leaves frames in tx_pending while tx_offchannel is empty,
so the wcid is dropped from every scheduling list and its frames stall
until the next mt76_tx() for that wcid or wcid cleanup. This strands
EAPOL/mgmt/nullfunc frames under momentary queue-full or across
scan/channel-switch, causing association and 4-way-handshake timeouts.
Requeue when either queue still holds frames, matching the enqueue
condition.

__mt76_tx_queue_skb() overrides the wcid passed by the driver with
sta->drv_priv, so the wcid might incorrectly be changed after TX,
causing wcid->non_aql_packets to be counted on the wrong wcid. For
example, on the AP side, if a station's setup link is the 5G link and
the station uses 2G to transmit a frame, the value of non_aql_packets
is increased on the 5G wcid but decreased on the 2G wcid. Once the
inflated counter exceeds MT_MAX_NON_AQL_PKT, the TX scheduler
permanently refuses to service the station.
Drop the reassignment and account on the wcid used for transmission.
This also records the actual wcid in the queue entry.

A power-save station whose buffered frames cannot be delivered (e.g. it
stopped responding) consumes no airtime, so its airtime DRR deficit never
goes negative. Returning its txq via ieee80211_return_txq() then keeps it
pinned at the head of the airtime scheduler's active_txqs list. Since
mt7996 uses a single ieee80211_hw for all bands, that list is shared
device-wide, and the schedule_round guard in ieee80211_next_txq() ends the
scheduling pass at the stuck station, starving every other station on all
bands until it is removed by inactivity timeout.
Only return the txq while it makes progress or the shared queue is
stopped. Otherwise leave it unscheduled and rely on the existing tx
completion handler to re-arm it once a buffered frame completes, matching
the non-AQL throttle path.

Add MT_DRV_HW_PS_BUFFERING flag for drivers where firmware controls

throttle. Replenish the firmware buffer on TX completion.

After flushing software-pending frames to DMA, mt76_has_tx_pending()
only checks DMA ring q->queued. For token-based drivers, q->queued is
decremented at DMA consumption, but firmware may not have transmitted
the frame yet. Waiting for all tokens is not feasible because data
frames may be stuck in firmware powersave/aggregation queues.
Track PSD queue tokens (firmware ALTX) per phy using an atomic counter.
These frames are sent by firmware immediately without PS buffering, so
the counter reliably reaches zero after transmission.
Increment the counter in mt76_token_consume() and decrement it in
mt76_token_release(), only for PSD queue tokens. Include the counter
in mt76_has_tx_pending() so channel switch waits for firmware TX
completion of management and nullfunc frames.
mt7615 (uses mt76_token_get/put) and non-token drivers are unaffected
as they never call mt76_token_consume/release.

ieee80211_is_data() returns true for nullfunc/QoS-nullfunc frames, so
they bypass the PSD queue routing and go through the regular VO data
queue. This means firmware processes them through the normal TID queue
instead of the ALTX queue, which doesn't guarantee immediate
transmission.
Use ieee80211_is_data_present() instead, which returns false for both
management frames and nullfunc/QoS-nullfunc (no payload), routing them
to MT_TXQ_PSD. Firmware maps PSD to the ALTX queue, which transmits
immediately without PS buffering.
This only affects frames from the mt76_tx() pending path. Regular
mac80211 TXQ scheduling is unchanged.

mt76_tx() queues frames on wcid->tx_pending for async processing by
tx_worker. In __mt76_set_channel(), the worker gets disabled before it
may have run, and the subsequent wait only checks DMA ring queues, not
the software pending list. This means frames like nullfunc PS frames
from mt76_offchannel_notify() may never be transmitted on the correct
channel.
Fix this by running mt76_txq_schedule_pending() synchronously after
disabling the tx_worker but before setting MT76_RESET, which would
otherwise cause mt76_txq_schedule_pending_wcid() to bail out.

mt76_txq_send_burst does check if the number of non-AQL frames exceeds
the maximum. In this case the queue is returned to ieee80211_return_txq
when iterating over the scheduled TXQs in mt76_txq_schedule_list.
This has the effect of inserting said TXQ at the head of the list. This
means the loop will get the same TXQ again, which will terminate the
scheduling round. TXQs following in the list thus never get scheduled
for transmission.
This can manifest in high latency low throughput or broken connections
for said STAs.
Check if the non-AQL packet count exceeds the limit and not return the
TXQ in this case.
Schedule all TXQs for the STA in case the non-AQL limit can be satisfied
again.

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.
