Register cfg80211_sar_capa with type NL80211_SAR_TYPE_POWER and four
frequency ranges for configurations in unit of 0.25 dBm. And handle
callback set_sar_specs.
Originally, TX power has three main parameters, i.e. power base,
power by rate, and power limit. The formula can be simply considered
as TX power = power base + min(power by rate, power limit). With the
support of SAR which can be treated as another power limit, there is
one more parameter for TX power. And the formula will evolve into
TX power = power base + min(power by rate, power limit, power sar).
Besides, debugfs tx_pwr_tbl is also refined to show SAR information.
The following is an example for the difference.
Before supporting SAR,
-----------------------------------

A CCK_2M 66(0x42) 78 -12 ( 8 -12) 0

-----------------------------------
After supporting SAR and making some configurations,

A CCK_1M 62(0x3e) 78 -16 ( 12 -12 -16) 0

Declare this function allows us to use customized scanning policy.
By doing so we can be more time efficient on each scan. In order to
make existing coex mechanism work as usual, firmware notifies driver
on each channel switch event, then decide antenna ownership based on
the current channel/band. Do note that this new mechanism affects
throughput more than the sw_scan we used to have, but the overall
average throughput is not affected since each scan take less time.
Since the firmware size is limited, we only support probe requests
with custom IEs length under 128 bytes for now, if any user space
tools requires more than that, we'll introduce related changes
afterwards. For backward compatibility, we fallback to sw_scan when
using older firmware that does not support this feature.

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

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.

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

On the other hand, for worldwide roamin chips, if there is no

from all regulatory notifications will be handled by rtw_regulatory.

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.

Although FW crash logs are already supported for dumping in driver, the
logs may not be sufficient to analyze field issues. To improve this part,
we add a support to dump FW memory.
When driver receives FW crash notifications, driver uses DDMA, which is a
HW ability, to copy specified FW memory to FW fifo. Driver can then dump
these information from FW fifo. With this support, not only FW crash log
but also specified FW memory will be dumped while FW crash. Besides,
specified registers are also dumped.
This feature is implemeted on 8822C first due to difference of FW layouts
between ICs. In addition, we add a debugfs to trigger FW crash. It can
simulate the process of crash, dump and reset. Through it, we can also
check if a reset is ongoing.

Use napi to reduce overhead on rx interrupts.
Driver used to interrupt kernel for every Rx packet, this could
affect both system and network performance. NAPI is a mechanism that
uses polling when processing huge amount of traffic, by doing this
the number of interrupts can be decreased.
Network performance can also benefit from this patch. Since TCP
connection is bidirectional and acks are required for every several
packets. These ack packets occupie the PCI bus bandwidth and could
lead to performance degradation.
When napi is used, GRO receive is enabled by default in the mac80211
stack. So mac80211 won't pass every RX TCP packets to the kernel TCP
network stack immediately. Instead an aggregated large length TCP packet
will be delivered.
This reduces the tx acks sent and gains rx performance. After the patch,
the Rx throughput increases about 25Mbps in 11ac.

rtw_enter_ips() to force the chipset power off to reset the chip.
Finally, driver calls ieee80211_restart_hw() to inform mac80211 stack
to restart.
Since only 8822c firmware supports this feature, the interrupt will only
be triggered when 8822c chipset is loaded.

Previous settings for TX descriptors of and reserved page packets
are insufficient.
For the sequence number of packets downloaded to reserved page, it
should be filled by hardware.
And for ps-poll packets in reserved page, to prevent AID being
changed by hardware, NAVUSEHDR should be set.
Additionally, the rate should be adjusted based on the current band
for mgmt and reserved page packets.

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.

The TX power requires to be adjusted based on the thermal value.
The actual power will decrease if the thermal value raised, and
will increase if the thermal value lowered. Driver comapres the
thermal value, as moving averages. If it changes over a limit,
driver will modify the TX power index to compensate.

Connecting to an AP with WPA2 security may fail. The IQK
and the EAPOL 4-way handshake may overlap because the
driver does IQK right after assoc success.
For 802.11n devices, the IQK is done in the driver and it
could require more than 100ms to complete. During IQK, any
TX/RX events are paused. So if the EAPOL 4-way handshake
started before IQK finished, then the 1/4 and 2/4 part of
the handshake could be dropped. The AP will then issue
deauth with reason IEEE8021X_FAILED (23).
To resolve this, move IQK routine into managed TX prepare
(ieee80211_ops::mgd_prepare_tx()). The callback is called
before the managed frames (auth/assoc) are sent. This will
make sure that the IQK is completed before the handshake
starts. But don't do IQK during scanning because doing it
on each channel will take too long.
For 802.11ac devices, the IQK is done in firmware and it
takes less time to complete. Therefore we don't see a
failure during the EAPOL 4-way handshake. But it is still
worth moving the IQK into ieee80211_ops::mgd_prepare_tx().

Without setting antenna control owner, the WiFi could be disconnected if
the BT has traffic. Because the antenna is switched to BT side for its
traffic, and the WiFi will have no chance to transfer data. Set control
