[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-6.12] wifi: mac80211: support parsing S1G TIM PVB

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Lachlan Hodges <lachlan.hodges@morsemicro.com>

[ Upstream commit e0c47c6229c25b54440fe1f84a0ff533942290b1 ]

An S1G TIM PVB has 3 mandatory encoding modes, that being
block bitmap, single AID and OBL alongside the ability for
each encoding mode to be inverted. Introduce the ability to
parse the 3 encoding formats. The implementation specification
for the encoding formats can be found in IEEE80211-2024 9.4.2.5.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

YES

- Fixes a real functional gap for S1G (802.11ah): Prior to this change,
  mac80211 only parsed legacy TIM PVBs. For S1G beacons the legacy
  checker would early-return false (length < sizeof(TIM)), causing STAs
  to miss buffered-traffic indications and mis-handle PS/wakeup
  (incorrectly never seeing TIM bits). The new S1G-aware parsing
  corrects that behavior and is needed for compliant S1G operation.
- Contained behavior change and gated to S1G only: The original legacy
  logic is preserved as `__ieee80211_check_tim`
  (include/linux/ieee80211.h:4782). The new wrapper
  `ieee80211_check_tim(..., bool s1g)` dispatches to either the S1G
  parser or the legacy parser (include/linux/ieee80211.h:5047). All
  non-S1G call sites pass `false`, so there’s no behavior change outside
  S1G.
- Correct mac80211 gating: mac80211 now passes the S1G indicator when
  evaluating TIMs in MLME; this limits the new parsing to S1G beacons
  only: `ieee80211_check_tim(elems->tim, elems->tim_len, vif_cfg->aid,
  vif_cfg->s1g)` (net/mac80211/mlme.c:7487). This is precisely where
  PS/Nullfunc/PS-Poll logic relies on correct TIM parsing.
- Complete and safe parsing for all S1G encodings: The new logic
  implements all 3 mandatory S1G TIM PVB encoding modes (block bitmap,
  single AID, OLB) plus inversion handling, with bounds checking:
  - Encoded block enumeration and selection:
    `ieee80211_s1g_find_target_block` validates lengths and finds the
    block describing the target AID (include/linux/ieee80211.h:4922).
  - Length helpers with validation: `ieee80211_s1g_len_bitmap`,
    `ieee80211_s1g_len_single`, `ieee80211_s1g_len_olb` guard against
    overruns (include/linux/ieee80211.h:4865, 4884, 4894).
  - Decoders for each mode with inversion handling:
    `ieee80211_s1g_parse_bitmap` (include/linux/ieee80211.h:4948),
    `ieee80211_s1g_parse_single` (include/linux/ieee80211.h:4974),
    `ieee80211_s1g_parse_olb` (include/linux/ieee80211.h:4991).
  - Top-level S1G entry: `ieee80211_s1g_check_tim` assembles the AID
    indices and dispatches to the appropriate parser
    (include/linux/ieee80211.h:5001).
- Minimal risk to existing drivers: Call sites in in-tree drivers are
  updated to the new signature with `s1g = false`, preserving existing
  behavior:
  - carl9170: drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/rx.c:558
  - p54: drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/txrx.c:320
  - rt2x00: drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c:682
  - rtlwifi: drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c:521
  - mesh power save: net/mac80211/mesh_ps.c:588
- No architectural upheaval: This is a targeted parsing capability added
  to an existing inline helper with a boolean selector. It doesn’t alter
  core state machines or broader mac80211/driver interfaces beyond the
  inline helper’s signature. Non-S1G behavior is unchanged and still
  goes through the proven legacy path.
- Standards compliance: The implementation directly follows IEEE
  802.11-2024 §9.4.2.5 encoding rules, including inversion and multi-
  block OLB spans, addressing a correctness gap rather than introducing
  a new feature.

Why it fits stable criteria:
- Important bug fix for an existing feature (S1G operation) that would
  otherwise mis-handle TIM-based PS behavior.
- Change is self-contained, defensive (length-checked), and gated by
  `s1g`, minimizing risk of regressions in non-S1G deployments.
- Touches only mac80211 and a handful of wireless drivers via a
  mechanical signature update; verified in-tree call coverage indicates
  no missed callers.

Given the correctness impact for S1G clients and the low regression risk
to other modes, this is a good candidate for stable backporting.
