This patch introduced below NL attributes to add support for
configuring data TID specific retry count
NL80211_TID_CONFIG_ATTR_RETRY
NL80211_TID_CONFIG_ATTR_RETRY_SHORT
NL80211_TID_CONFIG_ATTR_RETRY_LONG
These attributes are added in NL80211_ATTR_TID_CONFIG nested attribute.
This will be useful for the driver which supports data TID specific retry
count configuration rather using phy level retry configuration.
This TID specific retry configuration will have more precedence than
phy level configuration. This configuration can be applied for a
specific peer. To apply this configuration specific to a peer
rather than being applied for all the connected stations,
MAC address of the peer can be passed in NL80211_ATTR_MAC attribute.
Driver should advertise WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_MAX_DATA_RETRY_COUNT and
max_data_retry_count value to notify user space to avoid of passing
greater than the allowed limit.
Driver supporting TID specific retry configuration should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_PER_TID_RETRY_CONFIG and per STA specific
data TID retry configuration should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_PER_STA_RETRY_CONFIG.
