iwlwifi: mvm: Add support for Energy based scan (EBS)
This patch enables Energy Based Scan (EBS) - intended to detect energy on 5 GHz band channels. Passive scan on this band takes up to 2.64 sec assuming 110mSec per-channel * 24 channels. EBS is designed to detect energy on channels with intensive Wifi activity as well as those where only beacons are transmitted. EBS completes sampling all channels within shortest beacon frame transmission time. Total EBS duration is about 100 msec (typical beacon interval). Detecting Wifi activity on 5 GHz band channels can significantly reduce scan duration thus saving time and power. EBS failure reported by FW disables EBS for current connection. It is re-enabled upon new connection attempt on any WLAN interface.
