Broadcast and multicast packets in high queue should be transmitted
all at once during DTIM. But without proper settings, hardware fails
to recognize that there are multiple packets and fetches only one.
Fix this by signaling hardware with more data bit set when there are
packets in the high queue.

In the wpa_supplicant rekey flow, it sends an EAPOL packet 4/4 through
nl80211_tx_control_port() and triggers wake_tx_queue() in the driver.
Then, it sends nl80211_new_key() to configure a new key in mac80211.
However, in wake_tx_queue(), a workqueue is used to process the tx packet,
which might cause the driver to process the EAPOL packet later than
nl80211_new_key(). As a result, the EAPOL 4/4 packet is dropped by mac80211
due to the rekey configuration being finished. The EAPOL packets belongs to
VO packets that need high priority. Therefore, we process VO packets
directly without workqueue to ensure that packets can process immediately.
VO is normally used by voice application that is low traffic load and low
latency, that doesn't affect user experience.
We test iperf with VO packets(iperf3 -P4 -u -b 10000M -S 0xdf)

This code is not specific to the PCIe bus type but can be re-used by USB
and SDIO bus types. Move it to tx.{c,h} to avoid code-duplication in the
future. While here, add checking of the ac argument in
rtw_tx_ac_to_hwq() so we're not accessing entries beyond the end of the

To support stations in power saving mode, AP should notify stations
that there are frames buffered at the AP via TIM during beacons.
Driver used to transmit identical beacons that were downloaded to
hardware during the initiation phase. This beacon will become
obsolete over time.
If the beacon does not contain sufficient information, station would
not be able to percept that there is data to receive. Hence it won't
wake up and start the PS-poll procedure, this could lead to timeout
and/or lost data segments. In order to resolve this issue, driver will
now download beacon to hardware whenever the content is updated.
Enable hardware to update dtim_count for more efficiency, this reduces
the overhead of downloading beacon at every beacon interval since most
of the time only the dtim_count needs to be updated.
Change queue mapping for broadcast/multicast frames to high queue, so
these frames can be prioritized and sent when dtim_count is zero.

Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.
With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.
To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.
For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.
For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.
Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.
Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.

It is useful to fix the bit rate of TX packets. For example, if
someone is measuring the TX power, or debugging with the issues
of the TX throughput on the field.
To set the value of fixed rate, one should input corresponding
desc rate index (ex, 0x0b for DESC_RATE54M to fix at 54 Mbps).
Set a value larger than DESC_RATE_MAX will disable fix rate, so
the rate adaptive mechanism can resume to work.
Example,
To fix rate at MCS 1:
echo 0x0d > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/rtw88/fix_rate
To not to fix rate:
echo 0xff > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/rtw88/fix_rate
To know which rate was fixed at:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/rtw88/fix_rate

By default the driver uses the 1M and 6M rate for managemnt frames
in 2G and 5G bands respectively. But when the basic rates is
configured from the mac80211, we need to send the management frames
according to the basic rates.
This commit makes the driver use the lowest basic rates to send
the management frames.

Sometimes driver does not get tx report from firmware because wifi
environment is too noisy to get ack from AP about a TX frame,
or firmware is too busy to report driver in a estimated time.
But the condition will not affect wifi function or throughput.

Driver used to kick off every TX packets, that will waste some
time while we can do better to kick off the TX packets once after
they are all prepared to be transmitted.
For PCI, it uses DMA engine to transfer the SKBs to the device,
and the transition of the state of the DMA engine could be a cost.
Driver can save some time to kick off multiple SKBs once so that
the DMA engine will have only one transition.
So, split rtw_hci_ops::tx() to rtw_hci_ops::tx_write() and
rtw_hci_ops::tx_kick_off() to explicitly kick the SKBs off after
they are written to the prepared buffer. For packets come from
ieee80211_ops::tx(), write one and then kick it off immediately.
For packets queued in TX queue, which come from
ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue(), we can dequeue them, write them
to the buffer, and then kick them off together.

We can indicate IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL to mac80211 because
the hardware has its own rate control algorithm. And what driver needs
to do is to choose an RA mask according the peer's capabilities.
But the hardware is not able to setup BA session by itself. So driver
requires to initiate tx BA session for hardware, and tells it if it is
possible to transmit AMPDU. The hardware can then aggregate MPDUs.
And the size of AMPDU is controlled by the TX descriptor and the
register value. Since the TX descriptor will reference the max AMPDU
size from ieee80211_sta::ht_cap::ampdu_factor, just set the register
value to 0x3f, and let it be controlled by TX descriptor.

The mac80211 provides software TX queue for driver, as long as
driver has hooked ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue. Each time a
packet is queued onto the TX queue, that queue will be woken
up the inform driver to serve the queue.
Now driver only supports PCI interface ICs, there's no specific
traffic control for each queue, just schedule a tasklet, and
dump all of the packets at once to the DMA ring. Instead of TX
the packets whenever TX queue is woke, tasklet handler can have
more packets dumped to the device, takes advantage of burst
write with DMA engine.
And if the driver is going to support USB/SDIO ICs, the tasklet
can be more flexible for aggregating the packets, enhance the
efficiency of bandwidth usage.

Allows driver to send RTS by filling tx descriptor.
The user may want to set the rts threshold. But since we have not
been taking over rate control from mac80211 to driver by setting flag
IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL, there is nothing we can do about it.
So here just store the value, and mac80211 will tell us to use rts
protection by ieee80211_tx_info::control::use_rts.

Remove PS related *_irqsafe functions to avoid entering/leaving PS
under interrupt context. Instead, make PS decision in watch_dog.
This could simplify the logic and make the code look clean.
But it could have a little side-effect that if the driver is having
heavy traffic before the every-2-second watch_dog detect the traffic
and decide to leave PS, the thoughput will be lower. Once traffic is
detected by watch_dog and left PS state, the throughput will resume
to the peak the hardware ought to have again.

This is a new mac80211 driver for Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips.
rtw88 now supports RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE now, with basic station mode
functionalities. The firmware for both can be found at linux-firmware.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
For RTL8822BE: rtw88/rtw8822b_fw.bin
For RTL8822CE: rtw88/rtw8822c_fw.bin
And for now, only PCI buses (RTL8xxxE) are supported. We will add support
for USB and SDIO in the future. The bus interface abstraction can be seen
in this driver such as hci.h. Most of the hardware setting are the same
except for some TRX path or probing setup should be separated.
Supported:
* Basic STA/AP/ADHOC mode, and TDLS (STA is well tested)
Missing feature:
* WOW/PNO
* USB & SDIO bus (such as RTL8xxxU/RTL8xxxS)
* BT coexistence (8822B/8822C are combo ICs)
* Multiple interfaces (for now single STA is better supported)
* Dynamic hardware calibrations (to improve/stabilize performance)
Potential problems:
* static calibration spends too much time, and it is painful for
driver to leave IDLE state. And slows down associate process.
But reload function are under development, will be added soon!
* TRX statictics misleading, as we are not reporting status correctly,
or say, not reporting for "every" packet.
The next patch set should have BT coexistence code since RTL8822B/C are
combo ICs, and the driver for BT can be found after Linux Kernel v4.20.
So it is better to add it first to make WiFi + BT work concurrently.
Although now rtw88 is simple but we are developing more features for it.
Even we want to add support for more chips such as RTL8821C/RTL8814B.
