This series adds basic kernel-mode TDLS support for nl80211 based drivers. It is based in part on patches by Kalyan C. Gaddam, cc-ed here. Support is added for peer discovery and data path setup/teardown. More advanced features are not implemented. These include QoS/HT, peer PSM, peer U-APSD and channel switching. Notably, this patch-set does not include locking in the data path, to switch between AP-based and direct Tx during link setup/tear-down. This will be added by a later patch-set, if/when this series is accepted. In practice it seems to work quite well without additional locking. User-mode support is added in a companion series. Tested with wl12xx hardware, with a nl80211/mac80211 based driver. Comments/reviews are welcome.
