This driver named rtw89, which is the next generation of rtw88, supports
Realtek 8852AE 802.11ax 2x2 chip whose new features are OFDMA, DBCC,
Spatial reuse, TWT and BSS coloring; now some of them aren't implemented
though.
The chip architecture is entirely different from the chips supported by
rtw88 like RTL8822CE 802.11ac chip. First of all, register address ranges
are totally redefined, so it's impossible to reuse register definition. To
communicate with firmware, new H2C/C2H format is proposed. In order to have
better utilization, TX DMA flow is changed to two stages DMA. To provide
rich RX status information, additional RX PPDU packets are added.
Since there are so many differences mentioned above, we decide to propose
a new driver. It has many authors, they are listed in alphabetic order:

According to the Realtek propritary driver and the rtw88 driver, the
tx rates of the ack (includes block ack) are initialized with lower
tx rates (no HT rates) which is set by the RRSR register value. In
real cases, ack rate higher than current tx rate could lead to
difficulty for the receiving end to receive management/control frames.
The retransmission rate would be higher then expected when the driver
is acting as receiver and the RSSI is not good.
Cross out higer rates for ack packet before implementing dynamic rrsr
configuration like the commit 4830872685 ("rtw88: add dynamic rrsr
configuration").

The usage of fw_crash debugfs is to write 1 to it to trigger fw crash
simulation and to read from it to check the state. When zero is read,
it is supposed to mean fw crash/restart process is done. Then, some
test plans can be designed for crash/restart.
e.g.
step 1. trigger fw crash simulation
step 2. poll the state until zero is read
step 3. check connection by ping test
However, in certain connection cases, triggering fw crash simulation
will take a while. If the state is queried too early before restart
begins processing, it may mistakenly think restart process has been
done. If some tests are started at this time, something unexpected
might happen due to the follow-up restart process.
To avoid that, let fw_crash also show non-zero when a simulation
is still triggering.

NIC card saves calibrated TX power index in the efuse(ROM).
Driver loads TX power idex when interface is up.
The problem is type2/4 NICs loads 2.4G TX power index
from wrong position. This patch corrects the offsets.
So, driver loads real 2.4G TX power index for type 2/4 NICs.
2.4G performance increased when using correct TX power index.

Current adaptivity mechanism is achieved in driver, by periodically
referencing the IGI value and then updating related registers.
But we find that this way may halt TX activity too long if huge
and temporary energy is detected frequently. So we move the mechanism
to firmware for immediately reacting this case to recover TX rapidly.

Add Energy Detected CCA (EDCCA) mechanism to detect energy on the channel.
And EDCCA support adaptivity mode now. From MIC Ordinance Regulating Radio
Equipment article 49.20, ETSI EN-300-328 and EN-301-893, the device should
be able to dynamically pause TX activity when energy detected on the air.
According to ETSI/JP DFS region, driver will set corresponding threshold
and stop TX activity if the detected energy exceeds the threshold. For now,
we support it on 8822b and 8822c first.
By default, EDCCA mechanism is turned on. For ETSI/JP DFS region, it will
turn to adaptivity mode. However, with adaptivity, if environment is too
noisy, TX may often be halted. So, a debugfs for EDCCA is added. It can
show what EDCCA mode is used currently. And EDCCA mechanism can be turned
on/off through the debugfs while debugging.

Realtek chips can program a specific country domain on efuse to
indicate what is the expected rtw_regulatory. For chips with a
programmed country domain, we set REGULATORY_STRICT_REG to tell
stack to consider follow-up regulatory_hint() as the superset of
our regulatory rule. Besides, on driver side, only the request via
NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_DRIVER, which matches programmed country
domain, will be handled to keep rtw_regulatory unchanged.
For worldwide roaming chips, i.e. ones without a specific programmed
country domain, system of distro can set expected regulatory via
NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_USER. With setting from it, rtw_regulatory
will handle the requests only via NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_USER to
follow setting from system of distro. REGULATORY_COUNTRY_IE_IGNORE
will then be set to tell stack to ignore country IE for us. The
restrictions mentioned above will remain until 00, i.e. worldwide,
is set via NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_USER.
On the other hand, for worldwide roamin chips, if there is no
specific regulatory set via NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_USER, requests
from all regulatory notifications will be handled by rtw_regulatory.
And REGULATORY_COUNTRY_IE_IGNORE won't be set.

Mapping table from country code to rtw_regulatory, which manages tx power
limit according to countries, is updated. And mapping architecture is also
upgraded. For more precise control on tx power limit, it allows different
rtw_regulatory for different bands logically. Besides, a helper function
to query rtw_regulatory for current band under current country is provided.
For older chips, some newly added rtw_regulatory may not be configured.
To avoid that those chips have no limit on some countries mapping to a
newer rtw_regulatory after table update, a backward selection mechanism
of rtw_regulatory is introduced. It can help chips use a rtw_regulatory
which has been configured as an alternative of a newer one which is not
configured.
In addition, rtw88 actually doesn't manage channel plans by itself.
Instead, it follows them from stack. So, correct some naming about
chplan with regd, and remove the unnecessary channel control for now.

Commit 369956ae57 ("rtlwifi: rtl8192de: Remove redundant variable
initializations") removed the initialization of place but it appears
that this removal was in the wrong function.
_rtl92c_phy_get_rightchnlplace() returns place's value at the end of the
function so now if the if statement is false, place never gets
initialized. Add that initialization back to address the warning.
place's initialization is not necessary in
rtl92d_get_rightchnlplace_for_iqk() as place is only used within the if
statement so it can be removed, which is likely what was intended in the
first place.

The rtw_pci_init_rx_ring function is only ever called with a fixed
constant or RTK_MAX_RX_DESC_NUM for the "len" argument. Since this
constant is defined as 512, the "if (len > TRX_BD_IDX_MASK)" check
can never happen (TRX_BD_IDX_MASK is defined as GENMASK(11, 0) or in
other words as 4095).
So, remove this check.
The true motivation for this patch is to silence a false Coverity

In current wow flow, driver calls rtw_wow_fw_start and sleep for 100ms,
to wait firmware finish preliminary work and then update the value of
WOWLAN_WAKE_REASON register to zero. But later firmware will start wow
function with power-saving mode, in which mode the value of
WOWLAN_WAKE_REASON register is 0xea. So driver may get 0xea value and
return fail. We use read_poll_timeout instead to check the value to avoid
this issue.

There will be crazy numbers of interrupts triggered by 8188cu and

host controller. Compare with the vendor driver source code, it's
mapping to the configuration CONFIG_USB_INTERRUPT_IN_PIPE and it is
disabled by default.
Since the interrupt transfer is neither used for TX/RX nor H2C

for the 8188cu and 8192cu module which I only have for verification.

intentionally writing across neighboring array fields.
The size argument to memset() is bytes, but the array element size
of curvecount_val is u32, so "CV_CURVE_CNT * 2" was only 1/4th of the
