For VHT peers, the maximum A-MPDU size has to be calculated
from the VHT capabilities element and not the HT-cap. The formula
is the same, but a higher value is used in VHT, allowing larger
aggregates to be transmitted.
The patch contains a workaround for some Netgear/Linksys APs that
report Rx A-MPDU factor incorrectly.

Only Native Wifi RX decap mode guarantees IP

It was observed few times, the artificial max_scan limit we
are using mainly to detect FW hangs, can be not enough for
instance while being associated and during heavy traffic.
What we do if the FW won't return with scan results within
the max_time time is a scan abort.
This is especially visible with 10.X fw which in combination
with dual band HW (scanning 32 channels) can end up with
hw_scan close to 10 seconds.

Firmware IE containers can dynamically provide various information what
firmware supports. Also it can embed more than one image so updating firmware
is easy, user just needs to update one file in /lib/firmware/.
The firmware API 2 or higher will use the IE container format, the current API
1 will not use the new format but it still is supported for some time. FW API 2
files are named as firmware-2.bin (which contains both firmware and otp images)
and API 1 files are firmware.bin and otp.bin.

This is the initial framework to implement dynamic
WMI API in order to support new firmware (from so
called 10.X branch)
The realization is to have a static WMI cmd map for
each of the firmwares, registered upom wmi init.
This patch creates such map for MAIN FW, updates
wmi_cmd_send() calls to take as a parameter
the map value instead of direct WMI enum.
As soon as complete 10.X API will be on place,
we will introduce the FW IE mechanics to dynamicaly
identify which FW is being used and based on that
we will use correct map, API, structures, etc.

Ethernet-like decapping mode leaves IP protocol
frame not aligned to 4-byte boundaries. This leads
to re-aligning in mac80211 which in turn leads to
poor CPU cache behaviour on some machines.
Since HW doesn't allow to change payload offset
properly the solution is to force HW to decap in
Native Wifi mode which always has 24-bytes long
802.11 header (even for QoS frames). This means IP
frame is properly aligned in this decap mode.
