Add the common bits and pieces to add USB support to the RTW88 driver.
This is based on https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtw88-usb.git which
itself is first written by Neo Jou.

coex->mutex is used in rtw_coex_info_request() only. Most callers of this
function hold rtwdev->mutex already, except for one callsite in the
debugfs code. The debugfs code alone doesn't justify the extra lock, so
acquire rtwdev->mutex there as well and drop the now unnecessary
spinlock.

The rtwdev->rf_lock spinlock protects the rf register accesses in
rtw_read_rf() and rtw_write_rf(). Most callers of these functions hold
rtwdev->mutex already with the exception of the callsites in the debugfs
code. The debugfs code doesn't justify an extra lock, so acquire the mutex
there as well before calling rf register accessors and drop the now
unnecessary spinlock.

It's confusing to read two different firmware versions in the syslog
for the same device:
rtw_8822cu 2-1:1.2: Firmware version 9.9.4, H2C version 15
rtw_8822cu 2-1:1.2: Firmware version 9.9.11, H2C version 15
Print the firmware type in this message to make clear these are really
two different firmwares for different purposes:
rtw_8822cu 1-1.4:1.2: WOW Firmware version 9.9.4, H2C version 15

During HW scan, the channel related feilds in hal struct changed partially.
If setting Tx power will get WARNING:rtw_get_tx_power_params() due to some

We would like to make chip_info table const, but 8821c uses one field as
a variable, and causes core dump. To fix this, move the field to another
struct that can be read and written.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Mapping table from country code to rtw_regulatory, which manages tx power
limit according to countries, is updated. And mapping architecture is also
upgraded. For more precise control on tx power limit, it allows different
rtw_regulatory for different bands logically. Besides, a helper function
to query rtw_regulatory for current band under current country is provided.
For older chips, some newly added rtw_regulatory may not be configured.
To avoid that those chips have no limit on some countries mapping to a
newer rtw_regulatory after table update, a backward selection mechanism
of rtw_regulatory is introduced. It can help chips use a rtw_regulatory
which has been configured as an alternative of a newer one which is not
configured.
In addition, rtw88 actually doesn't manage channel plans by itself.
Instead, it follows them from stack. So, correct some naming about
chplan with regd, and remove the unnecessary channel control for now.

Although FW crash logs are already supported for dumping in driver, the
logs may not be sufficient to analyze field issues. To improve this part,
we add a support to dump FW memory.
When driver receives FW crash notifications, driver uses DDMA, which is a
HW ability, to copy specified FW memory to FW fifo. Driver can then dump
these information from FW fifo. With this support, not only FW crash log
but also specified FW memory will be dumped while FW crash. Besides,
specified registers are also dumped.
This feature is implemeted on 8822C first due to difference of FW layouts
between ICs. In addition, we add a debugfs to trigger FW crash. It can
simulate the process of crash, dump and reset. Through it, we can also
check if a reset is ongoing.

Use napi to reduce overhead on rx interrupts.
Driver used to interrupt kernel for every Rx packet, this could
affect both system and network performance. NAPI is a mechanism that
uses polling when processing huge amount of traffic, by doing this
the number of interrupts can be decreased.
Network performance can also benefit from this patch. Since TCP
connection is bidirectional and acks are required for every several
packets. These ack packets occupie the PCI bus bandwidth and could
lead to performance degradation.
When napi is used, GRO receive is enabled by default in the mac80211
stack. So mac80211 won't pass every RX TCP packets to the kernel TCP
network stack immediately. Instead an aggregated large length TCP packet
will be delivered.
This reduces the tx acks sent and gains rx performance. After the patch,
the Rx throughput increases about 25Mbps in 11ac.

Some AP will not follow the power save request, or it cannot stop
transmission until its queue is empty. It may bring the decreasing of
data rate.
WLAN firmware will count is the AP still leaked packet after power save
handshake was done or not to enable WLAN slot extend mechanism.
The extend WLAN slot mechanism will extend the WLAN slot after power save
handshake, 5 ms per times, maximum is 5 times to received the leaked packet
to avoid the rate lower down.
And if the transmission was already locked at CCK rate.
The extended WLAN slot can also increase the opportunity that we can
received the CCK's long packet and be released from CCK rate.
