iwlwifi: mvm: disable uAPSD due to bugs in the firmware
The current firmware advertises support for uAPSD, but
critical bugs force us to disable the feature.
When a fixed firmware will be available, we will be able to
re-enable uAPSD.
In case of system low latency configure passive scan to be fragmented.
Set the following scan parameters for both immediate and scheduled scan:
- passive scan fragment duration = 20ms
- out-of-channel time = 70ms
- suspend time = 105ms
Restructure channel's active/passive dwell time configuration to better
suit the above change.
The idea is that under low latency traffic passive scan is fragmented,
i.e. that dwell on a particular channel will be fragmented. Each
fragment dwell time is 20ms and fragments period is 105ms. Skipping to
next channel will be delayed by the same period (105ms). So suspend_time
parameter describing both fragments and channels skipping periods is set
to 105ms. This value is chosen so that overall passive scan duration
will not be too long. Max_out_time in this case is set to 70ms, so for
active scanning operating channel will be left for 70ms while for
passive still for 20ms (fragment dwell).

Some scan parameters should be dependent on traffic conditions.
Centralize conditions verification in one function and obtain
scan max out-of-channel and suspend time in that new function.
Rely on bound interfaces indication instead of association state
to calculate scan parameters. If no bound interfaces use default
values for out-of-channel and suspend time parameters.
Additionally, get rid of NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_LOW_PRIORITY checks
since no use case for this exists so far.

When the firmware asserts, the driver will dump the firmware

be allocated in case another assert occurs.
