This feature turns out to have an issue: it can take up to 8 seconds to
detect high throughput scenarios and to leave RX OMI bandwidth
reduction. This leads to throughput degradation.
Until the issues are fixed, remove the RX OMI implementation.

When connected to an AP, the PHY will typically be tuned to
a higher bandwidth than the beacons are transmitted on, as
they are normally only transmitted on 20 MHz. This can mean
that another STA is simultaneously transmitting on another
channel of the higher bandwidth, and apparently this energy
may be taken into account by the PHY, resulting in elevated
energy readings.
To work around this, track the firmware's corrected beacon
energy data and replace the RSSI in beacons by that. The
replacement happens for all beacons received in the context
of the current MAC or link (depending on FW version), in
which case the filters will drop all else. For a scan, which
is only tuning to 20 MHz channels, the MAC/link ID will be
one that isn't found (the AUX ID 4), and no correction will
be done (nor is it needed.)

This change reflects the correct ownership of aux_sta,
as it is not a property of the link but rather of the virtual interface.
Updated the initialization, cleanup and access logic for the aux_sta member
to align with its new location within iwl_mld_vif.

iwl_mld_remove_link removes the link from both the FW and from the
driver.
If removing it from the FW failed, we assume that the FW is
dead anyway and remove it from the driver as well.
On the other hand, we still return an error value, indicating the caller
(i.e. mac80211) that the link couldn't be removed - while it was
actually removed.
Later, mac80211 might tell the driver again to remove that link,
and then the driver will warn that it doesn't exist.
Fix this by making iwl_mld_remove_link a void function.

iwlwifi is the driver of all Intel wifi devices since 2008.
Since then, the hardware has changed a lot, but the firmware
API has changed even more. The need to keep one driver that
supports all those different APIs led us to introduce a new
architecture circa 2012 which allowed us to keep the same
interface to the hardware (DMAs, Tx queues, etc...) with a
new layer to implement the mid-layer between mac80211 and
the firmware. The first component is called the 'transport'
and the latter is called 'operation_mode' a.k.a op_mode.
In 2013 we took advantage of the new architecture to
introduce iwlmvm which allowed us to implement the, then,
new firmware API. This op_mode supports 7260 and up, those
devices supports support at least VHT.
Since then, wifi evolved and so did the firmware. It became
much bigger and took a lot of functionality from the driver.
It became increasingly hard to keep the same op_mode for the
newest devices and we experienced frequent regressions on
older devices. In order to avoid those regressions and keep
the code maintainable, we decided it was about time to start
a new op_mode.
iwlmld is a new op_mode that supports BE200 or newer if the
firmware being used is 97.ucode or newer. If the user has
an older devices or BE200 with .96.ucode, iwlmvm will be
loaded. Of course, this op_mode selection is seamless.
All the features supported in iwlmvm are supported in
iwlmld besides a few seldom used use cases: injection and
Hotspot 2.0. Those are under work.
A few points about the implementation:
* iwlmld doesn't have any mutexes, it relies on the
wiphy_lock
* iwlmld is more "resource oriented": stations, links and
interfaces are allocated and freed only after all the
relevant flows are completed.
* Firmware notifications' sizes are validated in a more
structured way.
We would love to see this new op_mode merged in 6.15. The
firmware for this new driver (.97.ucode) is not yet publicly
available but it'll be sent very soon.

I've listed the people who directly contributed
code, but many others from various teams have
contributed in other ways.
