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.

Previously, mac_mem_base_addr_table was declared in debug.c locally
because it's only used via debugfs to dump mac memory. Now, we plan to
refine SER (system error recover) flow which will also need to dump mac
memory to somewhere as information for error which is catched. So, we
move mac_mem_base_addr_table to mac.c rtw89_mac_mem_base_addrs earlier
as common code.
(no logic is changed)

These function is used to stop transmitting when we are going to switch
channels or do some RF calibration. Before these operations, we need to
stop channel transmission and backup setting into parameter tx_en. After
operations are done, resume transmitting by backup parameter tx_en.

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.

In AP mode, when a STA associate to us, we need to create an entry in
firmware and hardware, and then they can transmit data properly.
The entry index called mac_id which is assigned when sta_add, and we ask
firmware to create an entry for an associated station. Also, the address
CAM should be filled so hardware can know which packet is ours, and lookup
the mac_id for further use.

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.

We are planning to support more chipsets, e.g. 8852C. Before that, we
consider architecutre to handle multiple kinds of chipsets. Obviosuly,
based on original design, rtw89_core module will have large size even
if there is only one chipset under running. It is because all chipset
related things are put in rtw89_core now. To reduce such overhead, we
extract modules of rtw89 and adjust dependencies between modules.
The following assumes that 8852AE, 8852AU, and 8852CE are all supported,
we describe the difference before and after extraction.
[Before extraction]
-------------
|------------------------------------ | rtw89_usb |
V -------------
--------------------------------------- -------------
| rtw89_core (including 8852A, 8852C) | <--- | rtw89_pci |
--------------------------------------- -------------
The data of 8852A and 8852C are built in rtw89_core.
And rtw89_pci is the entry of 8852AE and 8852CE.
And rtw89_usb is the entry of 8852AU.
[After extraction]
------------- ----------------
|----------- | rtw89_usb | <-------- | rtw89_8852au |
| ------------- ----------------
V --------------- |
-------------- | | <---------------
| rtw89_core | <--- | rtw89_8852a |
-------------- | | <---------------
^ ^ --------------- |
| | ------------- ----------------
| | | | <-------- | rtw89_8852ae |
| |----------- | rtw89_pci | ----------------
| | | <-----------------
| ------------- |
| --------------- ----------------
|--------------- | rtw89_8852c | <------ | rtw89_8852ce |
--------------- ----------------
The data of 8852A/8852C is extracted to rtw89_8852a/rtw89_8852c.
And rtw89_pci/rtw89_usb handles only common flow of pci/usb bus.
Finally, 8852AE, 8852AU, and 8852CE have individual entry modules,
i.e. rtw89_8852ae, rtw89_8852au, and rtw89_8852ce correspondingly.
