Enable USB RX aggregation when there is at least 1 Mbps RX or TX
traffic, otherwise disable it.
USB RX aggregation improves the RX speed of RTL8811CU on certain ARM
systems, like the NanoPi NEO Core2. Before: 28 Mbps, after: 231 Mbps.
It also improves the RX speed of RTL8822CU on some x86_64 systems.
Before: ~200 Mbps, after: ~300 Mbps.
The official drivers for these chips use the same logic for SDIO, but
for some reason the SDIO driver in rtw88 always enables RX aggregation,
so this patch only toggles aggregation for USB devices.
RTL8703B is likely not found in USB devices, and RTL8723DU doesn't like
aggregation.

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.

Though mac queue flushing has been supported, sometimes data may be waiting
on interface from host to chip. If it occurs, there may still be data that
flows into mac just after we do flush. To avoid that, we add the hci part
of flushing.

Driver used to kick off every TX packets, that will waste some
time while we can do better to kick off the TX packets once after
they are all prepared to be transmitted.
For PCI, it uses DMA engine to transfer the SKBs to the device,
and the transition of the state of the DMA engine could be a cost.
Driver can save some time to kick off multiple SKBs once so that
the DMA engine will have only one transition.
So, split rtw_hci_ops::tx() to rtw_hci_ops::tx_write() and
rtw_hci_ops::tx_kick_off() to explicitly kick the SKBs off after
they are written to the prepared buffer. For packets come from
ieee80211_ops::tx(), write one and then kick it off immediately.
For packets queued in TX queue, which come from
ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue(), we can dequeue them, write them
to the buffer, and then kick them off together.

Some devices need to configure interface/HCI related reigsters
in power on flow. Add interface_cfg for HCI for the settings.
The driver only supports RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE now, and since
RTL8822BE does not need to configure PCIE, the configuration
is only added for RTL8822CE. Without it, some of the RTL8822CE
device can crash and disconnected to host in suspend/wowlan mode.

Different interfaces have its own link-related power save mechanism.
Such as PCI can enter L1 state based on the traffic on the link, and
sometimes driver needs to enable/disable it to avoid some issues, like
throughput degrade when PCI trying to enter L1 state even if driver is
having heavy traffic.
For now, rtw88 only supports PCIE chips, and they just need to disable
ASPM L1 when driver is not in power save mode, such as IPS and LPS.

Deep power save allows firmware/hardware to operate in a
lower power state. And the deep power save mode depends on
LPS mode. So, before entering deep PS, driver must first
enter LPS mode.
Under Deep PS, most of hardware functions are shutdown,
driver will not be able to read/write registers and transfer
data to the device. Hence TX path must be protected by each
interface. Take PCI for example, DMA engine should be idle,
and no nore activities on the PCI bus.
If driver wants to operate on the device, such as register
read/write, it must first acquire the mutex lock and wake
up from Deep PS, otherwise the behavior is undefined.

This is a new mac80211 driver for Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips.
rtw88 now supports RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE now, with basic station mode
functionalities. The firmware for both can be found at linux-firmware.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
For RTL8822BE: rtw88/rtw8822b_fw.bin
For RTL8822CE: rtw88/rtw8822c_fw.bin
And for now, only PCI buses (RTL8xxxE) are supported. We will add support
for USB and SDIO in the future. The bus interface abstraction can be seen
in this driver such as hci.h. Most of the hardware setting are the same
except for some TRX path or probing setup should be separated.
Supported:
* Basic STA/AP/ADHOC mode, and TDLS (STA is well tested)
Missing feature:
* WOW/PNO
* USB & SDIO bus (such as RTL8xxxU/RTL8xxxS)
* BT coexistence (8822B/8822C are combo ICs)
* Multiple interfaces (for now single STA is better supported)
* Dynamic hardware calibrations (to improve/stabilize performance)
Potential problems:
* static calibration spends too much time, and it is painful for
driver to leave IDLE state. And slows down associate process.
But reload function are under development, will be added soon!
* TRX statictics misleading, as we are not reporting status correctly,
or say, not reporting for "every" packet.
The next patch set should have BT coexistence code since RTL8822B/C are
combo ICs, and the driver for BT can be found after Linux Kernel v4.20.
So it is better to add it first to make WiFi + BT work concurrently.
Although now rtw88 is simple but we are developing more features for it.
Even we want to add support for more chips such as RTL8821C/RTL8814B.
Finally, rtw88 has many authors, listed alphabetically:
