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.

Originally, there is already a mechanism, SER (system error recover),
to deal with HW/FW recovery. After FW v0.13.36.0, FW supports a H2C
(host to chip) command to make a CPU exception. Then, SER is supposed
to catch this FW crash and do L2 reset. This feature is a simulation
to verify if flow of recovering from FW crash works.
Usage of fw_crash debugfs is as the following.
$ echo 1 > fw_crash // trigger FW crash and wait SER handling
$ cat fw_crash // return 0 if restart has been done

As the fw features gradually increase, it would be better that
we have a set of methods to maintain fw features instead of using
scattered bool variables.
We reconstruct the way fw recognize features, and introduce
RTW89_CHK_FW_FEATURE() / RTW89_SET_FW_FEATURE() to check / set
fw features for uses.

Declare this function allows us to use customized scanning policy, so
each scan takes less time. This is a similar implementation to hw_scan
in rtw88, except that we offload more items to firmware and extend the
maximum IE length. For backward compatibility, we fallback to sw_scan
when firmware does not support this feature.

Fill mac_id and self_role depends on the operation mode.
In AP mode, echo connected station has an unique mac_id, and each vif also
has one mac_id to represent itself.
The self_role is assigned to vif if the operation mode is decided, and
RTW89_SELF_ROLE_AP_CLIENT is assigned to the connected STA in AP mode,

The h2c_join firmware command is used to indicate a station is connected,
and the assoc_cmac_tbl firmware command is used to set CMAC table
corresponding to a mac_id. Both commands must work in both station and AP
modes. Use the mac_id of rtw89_sta naturally and intuitively.

BA CAM is used to ACK peer's packets, so it must be established when
IEEE80211_AMPDU_RX_START, and free it by IEEE80211_AMPDU_RX_STOP.
The hardware can support two static BA CAM entries, so I implement a bitmap
and a struct to record which entry is used and its corresponding tid. Also,
the hardware can learn and create dynamic BA CAM entries automatically if
received packets don't match static BA CAM. That means it can still work if
we don't use H2C to set static BA CAM. An exception is tid=0 should be
always allocated in static BA CAM, so an existing static BA CAM will be
replaced if it is full and peer is going to establish a BA with tid=0.
The new firmware use new format of this H2C, so I upgrade it as well.

====================
This time we have:
* ndo_fill_forward_path support in mac80211, to let drivers use it
* association comeback notification for userspace, to be able
to react more sensibly to long delays
* support for background radar detection hardware in some chipsets
* SA Query Procedures offload on the AP side

With wrong rtwsta->mac_id, it can't send out ack properly when we receive
assoc response occasionally. Then, it failed to connect an AP.
The cause is that we store 'sta' and use it somewhere. To correct this,
remove the variable and use mac_id in drv_priv of 'sta' or 'vif' passed
by mac80211.

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:
