mac80211: Add testing functionality for TKIP
TKIP countermeasures depend on devices being able to detect Michael MIC failures on received frames and for stations to report errors to the AP. In order to test that behavior, it is useful to be able to send out TKIP frames with incorrect Michael MIC. This testing behavior has minimal effect on the TX path, so it can be added to mac80211 for convenient use. The interface for using this functionality is a file in mac80211 netdev debugfs (tkip_mic_test). Writing a MAC address to the file makes mac80211 generate a dummy data frame that will be sent out using invalid Michael MIC value. In AP mode, the address needs to be for one of the associated stations or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to use a broadcast frame. In station mode, the address can be anything, e.g., the current BSSID. It should be noted that this functionality works correctly only when associated and using TKIP.
