the files under /80211 calls kernel-doc script 207 times, one for each
single function and doc chapter. Due to that, it takes a lot of time
handling it:
$ touch Documentation/driver-api/80211/*rst && time make SPHINXDIRS=driver-api/80211 htmldocs
...
real 0m22,928s
user 0m21,644s
sys 0m1,334s
Reduce the build time by doing only one kernel-doc call
per functions that belong to the same group. With that, there's now
50 calls to kernel-doc, which makes the build time for those docs
62% faster:
$ touch Documentation/driver-api/80211/*rst && time make SPHINXDIRS=driver-api/80211 htmldocs
...
real 0m8,666s
user 0m8,084s
sys 0m0,642s
As a side effect, it should now be easier to add newer
functions, as there's no need to repeat the kernel-doc
pattern.
Measurements made on a NUC8i7HNK machine with lots of ram
and a fast SSD disk with Sphinx 3.2.1.

This function hasn't been used since the removal of iwmc3200wifi
in 2012. It also appears to have a bug when qos=True, since then
it'll copy uninitialized stack memory to the SKB.
Just remove the function entirely.

This introduction section should be used in the documentation,
do that at the beginning of the cfg80211 chapter.

Currently the connect event from driver takes all the connection
response parameters as arguments. With support for new features these
response parameters can grow. Use a structure to pass these parameters
rather than passing them as function arguments.

====================
For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases:
* socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi
manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are
torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain
operations, and can opt in to this where applicable
* minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space)
* set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the
kernel, which was already available to userspace
* don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no

Put this documentation with the other driver docs and try to keep the top
level reasonably clean.
