wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: remove dependency on non-existing optionCommit ffbd0c8c1e7f ("wifi: mac80211: add an element parsing unit test")and commit 730eeb17bbdd ("wifi: cfg80211: add first kunit tests, forelement defrag") add new configs that depend on !KERNEL_6_2, but the configoption KERNEL_6_2 does not exist in the tree. This dependency is used forhandling backporting to restrict the option to certain kernels but thisreally should not be carried around the mainline kernel tree.Clean up this needless dependency on the non-existing option KERNEL_6_2.Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAKXUXMyfrM6amOR7Ysim3WNQ-Ckf9HJDqRhAoYmLXujo1UV+yA@mail.gmail.com/Signed-off-by: Lukas Bulwahn Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg List of files: /linux-6.15/net/wireless/Kconfig

lib80211: fix unmet direct dependendices config warning when !CRYPTOWhen LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP is enabled and CRYPTO is disabled, it results in unmetdirect dependencies config warning. The reason is that LIB80211_CRYPT_CCMPselects CRYPTO_AES and CRYPTO_CCM, which are subordinate to CRYPTO. This isreproducible with CRYPTO disabled and R8188EU enabled, where R8188EU selectsLIB80211_CRYPT_CCMP but does not select or depend on CRYPTO.Honor the kconfig menu hierarchy to remove kconfig dependency warnings.Fixes: a11e2f85481c ("lib80211: use crypto API ccm(aes) transform for CCMP processing")Signed-off-by: Necip Fazil Yildiran Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200909095452.3080-1-fazilyildiran@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Johannes Berg List of files: /linux-6.15/net/wireless/Kconfig

a11e2f85 - lib80211: use crypto API ccm(aes) transform for CCMP processing

Mon, 17 Jun 2019 09:19:01 +0000

lib80211: use crypto API ccm(aes) transform for CCMP processingInstead of open coding the CCM aead mode in the driver, and invokingthe AES block cipher block by block, use a ccm(aes) aead transformwhich already encapsulates this functionality. This is a cleaner useof the crypto API, and permits optimized implementations to be used,which are typically much faster and deal more efficiently with theSIMD register file, which usually needs to be preserved/restored inorder to use special AES instructions.Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190617091901.7063-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.orgSigned-off-by: Johannes Berg List of files: /linux-6.15/net/wireless/Kconfig

007f6c5e - cfg80211: support loading regulatory database as firmware file

Thu, 15 Oct 2015 09:22:58 +0000

cfg80211: support loading regulatory database as firmware fileAs the current regulatory database is only about 4k big, and alreadydifficult to extend, we decided that overall it would be better toget rid of the complications with CRDA and load the database into thekernel directly, but in a new format that is extensible.The new file format can be extended since it carries a length fieldon all the structs that need to be extensible.In order to be able to request firmware when the module initializes,move cfg80211 from subsys_initcall() to the later fs_initcall(); thefirmware loader is at the same level but linked earlier, so it canbe called from there. Otherwise, when both the firmware loader andcfg80211 are built-in, the request will crash the kernel. We alsoneed to be before device_initcall() so that cfg80211 is availablefor devices when they initialize.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg List of files: /linux-6.15/net/wireless/Kconfig
