    ath10k: update bss channel survey information · fa7937e3
    Rajkumar Manoharan authored
    During hw scan, firmware sends two channel information events (pre-
    complete, complete) to host for each channel change. The snap shot of cycle
    counters (rx_clear and total) between these two events are given for
    survey dump. In order to get latest survey statistics of all channels, a
    scan request has to be issued. In general, an AP DUT is brought up, it
    won't leave BSS channel except few cases like overlapping bss or radar
    detection. So survey statistics of bss channel is always referring to
    older data that are collected before starting AP (either ACS/OBSS scan).
    
    To collect latest survey information from target, firmware provides WMI
    interface to read cycle counters from hardware. For each survey dump
    request, BSS channel cycle counters are read and cleared in hardware.
    This makes sure that behavior is in align with ath9k survey report.
    So survey dump always gives snap shot of cycle counters b/w two survey
    requests.
