To keep high sensitivity reaction, Bluetooth gaming controller will send
packet very frequently, it will make WLAN performance very poor. To solve
this situation, MIMO PS mechanism makes WLAN/BT own an antenna itself, WLAN
quits 2SS performance but it can get a stable 1SS performance and Bluetooth
gaming controller can keep sensitivity reaction at the same time.

While WL scan, WL is more high priority than BT. The packets from AP
will be a big interference to A2DP. It will lead to A2DP stutters. Stop
answering CTS to AP to decrease AP's packets Tx while WL scan + WL busy.
Enable BT AFH feature to make BT leave away from WL channel.

Some AP will not follow the power save request, or it cannot stop
transmission until its queue is empty. It may bring the decreasing of
data rate.
WLAN firmware will count is the AP still leaked packet after power save
handshake was done or not to enable WLAN slot extend mechanism.
The extend WLAN slot mechanism will extend the WLAN slot after power save
handshake, 5 ms per times, maximum is 5 times to received the leaked packet
to avoid the rate lower down.
And if the transmission was already locked at CCK rate.
The extended WLAN slot can also increase the opportunity that we can
received the CCK's long packet and be released from CCK rate.
While BT multi-link status was finished, there is possible that it still
has some packet remained for seconds. Add a timer to remain the multi-link
mechanism to protect WLAN Rx.

Remove extend 5 ms related operation at WLAN media status notify.
The mechanism should be enable only while DUT connect to a AP that it
doesn't follow our power save control or its rate is decreasing unusually
sensitive. So we extend a extra slot to save the transmission rate.
The original logic will always extend WLAN slot.
It will lead to BT slot always decrease 5 ms.
Remove write scoreboard action at WLAN media status notify.
It has already done in WLAN info notify.

Life time related setting is related to WLAN active port number,

In most case, WLAN TX limitation is helpful for BT in coexistence
scenario, especially for A2DP quality.

Fix BT IQK state decision condition for counting.
The original condition is wrong, it would cause coexistence mechanism
going to the wrong strategy.
New format supports getting TDMA parameter from WL firmware, since
coexistence needs current TDMA parameter to decide strategy.

BT firmware will report BLE-HID and BLE-RCU in different profile.
We can distinguish the two profile from BT info now.
Add the coexistence for BLE-HID coexistence,
it can make BLE HID work more smoothly.
BLE-HID need to Tx/Rx packet more frequently to respond
user operation, but RCU doesn't.
In the case of RCU coexistence, it will make Wi-Fi have a
higher priority to earn more Wi-Fi throughput.
If BLE-HID go for the same case,
it will make user feel mouse is lagging.

The coex mechanism used to skip upon the freeze flag is raised.
That will cause the coex mechanism being skipped unexpectedly.
Coex only wanted to keep the TDMA table from being changed by
BT side.
So, check the freeze and reason, if the coex reason is coming
from BT info, skip it, to make sure the coex triggered by Wifi
itself can work.
This is required for the AP mode, while the control flow is
different with STA mode. When starting an AP mode, the AP mode
needs to start working immedaitely after leaving IPS, and the
freeze flag could be raised. If the coex info is skipped, then
the AP mode will not set the antenna owner, leads to TX stuck.

Add a set of logic with corresponding coexistence parameters to
handle the situation under BT inquiry/page.
We will set PSTDMA while WL-Busy + BT inquiry/page to separate
WL/BT slots. PSTDMA can protect WL data rate and BT performance.
If WL-Busy + BT inquiry/page and there was BT device paired,
We will set the mechanism to 4Slot PSTDMA.
In 4Slot PSTDMA, the paired devices can perform more smoothly
and prevent some issues trigger from insufficient data.
And to avoid A2DP glitch or disconnection, we will adjust ACL
data priority higher than inquiry/page.
In addition, we found sometimes BT inquiry/page still working
last for seconds after BT had notified inquiry/page finished.
It will lead to A2DP glitch cause of ACL data, inquiry/page
priority toggled. To fix the corner, we add a timer to remain
the inquiry/page status.
And we found WL busy/idle threshold is too sensitive,
it will keep switching in some weak network environment and
coexistence mechanism will switch between TDMA and PSTDMA.
The very frequently switching may destroyed not only the
handshake with AP, but BT performance. And it will trigger
some unexpected error.
To prevent the frequently switching, we add a timer to delay
the status change while WL busy switch to idle.

Coex mechanism used to make BT have higher priority and more time to
transfer data when BT inquiry-page, which leads to poor WiFi performance.
Should take WiFi traffic into consideration. If the WiFi is having heavy
traffic, use another parameter to make sure WiFi has more chance to TX/RX,
while guarantee the priority of BT for inquiry. If the WiFi isn't busy
(connected or not), set proper parameter to fix originals.

In the current design, various chip functions and tables
are built into rtw88 core. That causes kernel to load its
functionalities even if a chip isn't currently used. We
plan to make each chip's functionalities a separate
kernel module to reduce rtw88 core. And kernel will be
able to load the necessary.
Before extracting chip functionalities, we export symbols
inside rtw88 core which will be used in chip modules.

Add a new entry "coex_info" in debugfs to dump coex's states for
us to debug on coex's issues.
The basic concept for co-existence (coex, usually for WiFi + BT)
is to decide a strategy based on the current status of WiFi and
BT. So, it means the WiFi driver requires to gather information
from BT side and choose a strategy (TDMA/table/HW settings).
Althrough we can easily check the current status of WiFi, e.g.,
from kernel log or just dump the hardware registers, it is still
very difficult for us to gather so many different types of WiFi
states (such as RFE config, antenna, channel/band, TRX, Power
save). Also we will need BT's information that is stored in
"struct rtw_coex". So it is necessary for us to have a debugfs
that can dump all of the WiFi/BT information required.
Note that to debug on coex related issues, we usually need a
longer period of time of coex_info dump every 2 seconds (for
example, 30 secs, so we should have 15 times of coex_info's
dump).

Driver could possibly be dead-locked while canceling works with
*_sync() with mutex lock held. Those cancel_delayed_work_sync()
functions will wait until the work is done, but if we hold the
lock, they will never acquire the lock.
To prevent this, simply release the lock and acquire again after
the works have been canceled. And to avoid the works being queued
again, check if the device is at RTW_FLAG_RUNNING state, otherwise
just return and do nothing.

With shallow buffer size, certain BT devices have active
A2DP flow control to fill buffer frequently. If the slot
is not at BT side, data can't be sent successfully to BT
devices, and will cause audio glitch.
To resolve this issue, this commit splits TUs into 4-slots
instead of 2-slot for all of the A2DP related coexistence
strategies. That makes BT have higher opportunity to fill
the A2DP buffer in time, and the audio quality could be
more stable and smooth.

The original design of LPS enter/leave routines allows
to control the LPS state by each interface. But the
hardware cannot actually handle it that way. This means
the hardware can only enter LPS once with an associated
port, so there is no need to keep tracking the state of
each vif.
Hence the logic of enter/leave LPS state can be simple,
just to check the state of the device's flag. And for
leaving LPS state, it will get the same port id to send
to inform the hardware.
