After scan aborts we still receive some hw scan c2h packets, and
processing these c2h commands will change current channel. If device
already connect to other AP, driver will set wrong op channel due
to current channel changed. The disconnection happens when hw scan back
to wrong op channel that device can't receive beacon from AP. To fix
this issue, we ignore the late c2h if we are not scanning, and set
current channel back to op channel after scan to align the FW behavior.

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.

Upon hw scan completion, idle mode is not re-entered. This might
increase power consumption under no link mode. Fix this by adding the
re-enter flow. We need another work for this since enter_ips waits
for c2h_work to finish, which might lead to deadlock if caller is in
the same work.

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,
-----------------------------------
...
path rate pwr base (byr lmt ) rem
A CCK_1M 66(0x42) 78 -12 ( 12 -12) 0
A CCK_2M 66(0x42) 78 -12 ( 8 -12) 0
...
-----------------------------------
After supporting SAR and making some configurations,
-----------------------------------
...
path rate pwr base (byr lmt sar ) rem
A CCK_1M 62(0x3e) 78 -16 ( 12 -12 -16) 0
A CCK_2M 62(0x3e) 78 -16 ( 8 -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

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.

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.
