Changes from v1: Rebase patches Support for multiple virtual interfaces (MultiVIF)
This series of patches add MultiVIF support to the wil6210 driver. It makes it possible to start multiple interfaces where each interface is an independent WIFI entity such as station, AP and so on. Each virtual interface (VIF) is mapped so a separate network interface (such as wlan0, wlan1, …) so it can also be treated separately for routing and other network operations. MultiVIF requires support in the FW. The FW will report whether it supports MultiVIF and the allowed concurrency combinations. The driver will export this information to user space and enforce it so it will only be possible to start a combination of VIFs supported by the FW. Initially our FW only supports multiple access points (APs) so it is possible for example to have a secure and guest network. The code was only validated with this scenario and we will improve the support for other concurrency combinations with future patches, as it becomes available in the FW.
