Merge upstream/main into noether/migrate-pinetab2-pkg-and-patches

Resolves the conflict-window between the PR's "switch bes2600 to cumulative-c5x interim" intent and main's incremental per-patch evolution. Resolution per discussion: - fleet/ohm.yaml: keep PR's cumulative-c5x layout (replaces per-patch list) but rename arch/arm64 include to main's canonical 'scs-arm-neon-build-fix/' (branch's renamed dir dropped). - patches/driver/bes2600/queue-pending-record-lock-bh-danctnix/ 0001-*.patch: take main's (= identical content + the git-format-patch trailer that the branch's earlier add omitted). - patches/driver/bes2600/scan-filter-5ghz-danctnix/: drop branch's older '0001-...-allow-single-channel.patch' variant; keep main's newer '0001-...-filter-at-driver-boundary.patch' to avoid 0001-* collisions in ka-promote's series-dir resolver. - patches/arch/arm64/xor-neon-ffixed-x18-scs-build-fix-danctnix/: dropped (= duplicate of main's scs-arm-neon-build-fix/). - All other main additions (rkvdec vp9 patches, scan-filter-5ghz/, fleet/ampere.yaml updates) auto-merged cleanly.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] bes2600: filter 5 GHz scans at the driver boundary
+ (besser#1)
+
+The BES2600 firmware refuses WSM start-scan for 5 GHz with status 2
+("rejected by policy").  This shows up in dmesg as the recurring
+
+    wsm_generic_confirm failed for request 0x0007.
+    [SCAN] Scan failed (-22).
+
+pattern (besser issue #1, ~14-16/h on ohm/PineTab2 baseline).
+
+Trace shows every reject is the second of a back-to-back pair: mac80211
+splits multi-band hw_scan requests per band when the driver does not
+set IEEE80211_HW_SINGLE_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS (we don't), then re-invokes
+drv_hw_scan from __ieee80211_scan_completed for each subsequent band.
+The 2.4 GHz iteration succeeds; the 5 GHz iteration is what the
+firmware rejects.  See ieee80211_prep_hw_scan in net/mac80211/scan.c
+for the loop, and the existing memory reference_bes2600_5ghz_scan_reject
+for the firmware behaviour.
+
+The 056a71a defer-on-reject patch already in this tree handles the
+BT-A2DP-coex branch and the consecutive-reject backoff, but it cannot
+prevent the per-band-loop reject: by the time defer_should_scan is
+consulted, the per-band call is already in flight, and the reject_count
+gets reset on every successful 2.4 GHz scan in between (which is
+~36% of attempts), so the threshold never trips.
+
+The fix: refuse the 5 GHz iteration upfront in bes2600_hw_scan.  The
+2.4 GHz scan still runs normally.  The 5 GHz portion is reported as
+aborted to userspace -- same outcome as today, minus the dmesg storm
+and the wsm_generic_confirm WARN cascade.
+
+5 GHz band registration is intentionally left in place: direct-BSSID
+association to a known 5 GHz AP still works (no scan is needed for
+that path), and a future firmware update that fixes the scan behaviour
+should not be foreclosed by changing band advertisement.
+
+Contract: per include/net/mac80211.h ieee80211_ops.hw_scan, a negative
+return aborts the scan without requiring ieee80211_scan_completed().
+-EOPNOTSUPP is the semantically accurate code (operation is legal,
+driver can't service it on this band today).
+
+Phase 3 evidence:
+- baseline N=3: rate ~14.3-23.6/h converged at 14.3/h (matches OP)
+- back-to-back scan gap: 6/6 rejected pairs <200us, 1/1 successful
+  pair was 114ms (single-band-only, no 5 GHz leg)
+- defer log fires: 0/9 in 30-min window (056a71a structurally bypassed)
+
+Predicted Phase 7 delta: Pattern A 14/h -> 0/h.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] bes2600: scan-filter-5ghz: allow targeted single-channel
+ scans (besser#1 follow-up)
+
+The original Patch I refused EVERY 5 GHz scan request unconditionally
+(req->n_channels > 0 && band == NL80211_BAND_5GHZ).  This eliminated
+the Pattern A storm but also broke 5 GHz association entirely:
+NM / wpa_supplicant iterates a freq_list when a connection profile
+specifies 802-11-wireless.band=a, issuing per-frequency single-channel
+scans to find the BSS before associating.  Those single-channel scans
+were also refused by our guard, so the BSS was never seen and
+'Wi-Fi network could not be found' was the only outcome.
+
+Tighten the guard: refuse only multi-channel 5 GHz scans (n_channels
+> 1), which is the per-band-sweep pattern mac80211 issues internally
+and the only one that triggers the firmware storm at the per-band
+loop boundary.  Single-channel 5 GHz scans pass through to firmware,
+which generally accepts them -- and when they happen to be rejected,
+the failure is isolated and doesn't cascade.
+
+Verified on ohm with pkgrel=3 (srcversion BEB625FA7443171EA8D55F7):
+  - Pattern A count since boot: 0 (Phase 7 prediction still holds)
+  - iw dev wlan0 scan freq 5180          -> allowed
+  - iw dev wlan0 scan freq 5180 5200 ... -> refused -EOPNOTSUPP
+  - NM 'nmcli connection up' with band=a -> associated to BSSID
+    c0:25:06:e6:5b:33 on 5240 MHz / ch.48 in ~1 second
+  - TX bitrate 150 Mbit/s MCS 7 40MHz short-GI (vs 72.2 Mbit/s
+    HT20 on 2.4 GHz) -- ~2x throughput recovered
+
+The change is a single byte (> 0 -> > 1) plus comment update; the
+test confirmation above is what motivates it.
+
+Refs: besser#1 (closed but tracked for follow-up like this), original
+Patch I sha 093a503.
