      ath10k: Trigger sta disconnect on hardware restart · 2c3fc505
      Youghandhar Chintala authored
      Currently after the hardware restart triggered from the driver,
      the station interface connection remains intact, since a disconnect
      trigger is not sent to userspace. This can lead to a problem in
      targets where the wifi mac sequence is added by the firmware.
      
      After the target restart, its wifi mac sequence number gets
      reset to zero. Hence AP to which our device is connected will receive
      frames with a  wifi mac sequence number jump to the past, thereby
      resulting in the AP dropping all these frames, until the frame
      arrives with a wifi mac sequence number which AP was expecting.
      
      To avoid such frame drops, its better to trigger a station disconnect
      upon target hardware restart which can be done with API
      ieee80211_reconfig_disconnect exposed to mac80211.
      
      The other targets are not affected by this change, since the hardware
      params flag is not set.
