We have iwl_tx_cmd for devices older than 22000, iwl_tx_cmd_gen2 for
22000 devices, and iwl_tx_cmd_gen3 ax210 and up.
But the convention for all other APIs is to have the latest version
without any prefix and the older ones - with a _vX prefix,
where X is the highest version that this struct support.
The term 'gen' was introduced as the name of the (back then) new
transport, and should not be used as a device name (for that we have the
actual names: 22000, ax210, etc.)
Now as a new transport, called 'gen3', is going to be written and it can
be confused with this API.
Move iwl_tx_cmd to use the regular versioning convention.

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.

There are a number of MAC parameters that are in the iwl_cfg
(which is the last config matched to the MAC/RF combination).
This isn't necessary, there are many more of those than MACs,
so move (most of) the data into the MAC family config struct.
Note that DCCM information remains for use by older devices,
and on 9000 series it'll be in struct iwl_cfg but be ignored
when the CRF is in a Qu/So platform.

These are (going to be) base MAC parameters that are identical
even for different platforms with the same MAC, so rename the
structure accordingly, calling it iwl_family_base_params.
Also rename the pointer to it so the dereferencing is a bit
shorter.

Since 9000 series devices, the devices are split into MAC and
CRF parts. Currently, "struct iwl_cfg" reflects some MAC and
some RF parameters, but we want to clean this up and move the
MAC data to what's now "struct iwl_cfg_trans_params". As the
first step, to reflect the intent, rename this structure.

For UHR, a version 3 of the rate API is being added, which
increases the number of bits used for MCSes by shifting the
NSS bit up. Handle that.

In EHT, we shouldn't report a legacy rate to mac80211, that
might just be confusing. Set it to zero, since it's only
really relevant for radiotap.

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.
People eager to get an early version of this firmware can

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