The layout struct of efuse should not do address alignment by compiler.
Otherwise it leads unexpected layout and size for certain arch suc as arm.
In x86-64, the results are identical before and after this patch.
Also adjust bit-field to prevent over adjacent byte to avoid warning:

Add 8821A and 8812A chip type enums.
Add cck_high_power member to struct rtw_hal. This will be used to
calculate the RX signal strength of RTL8812AU.
Add various register definitions which will be used by the new drivers.
Move some existing register definitions from rtw8821c.h and rtw8822b.h.
They were duplicated in those headers and will also be used by the new
drivers.

The Realtek wifi 5 devices which support USB 3 are weird: when first
plugged in, they pretend to be USB 2. The driver needs to send some
commands to the device, which make it disappear and come back as a
USB 3 device.
Implement the required commands in rtw88.
When a USB 3 device is plugged into a USB 2 port, rtw88 will try to
switch it to USB 3 mode only once. The device will disappear and come
back still in USB 2 mode, of course.
Some people experience heavy interference in the 2.4 GHz band in
USB 3 mode, so add a module parameter switch_usb_mode with the
default value 1 to let people disable the switching.

The efuse of the SDIO RTL8822BS chip has only one known member: the mac
address is at offset 0x11a. Add a struct rtw8822bs_efuse describing this
and use it for copying the mac address when the SDIO bus is used.

Sparse lists the following for rtw88:
CHECK drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822b.c
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8822b.c:2500:22: warning: symbol 'rtw8822b_hw_spec' was not declared. Should it be static?
The warning arises because the external declaration for rtw8822b_hw_spec
occurs in rtw8822be.h, which is not included in rtw8822b.h. That line is
moved, and the now empty file rtw8822be.h is deleted.
Symbol 'rtw8822b_hw_spec' can be made constant.

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.

This commit adds several Tx/Rx physical information to phy_info
debugfs for 8822B/8822C. By this debugfs, we can know physical
information, such as Tx/Rx rate, RSSI, EVM,SNR, etc. The
information is gotten from the packets of Tx/Rx path. It has
no impact for the performance of 8822B/8822C.
In the fields, we may meet different kinds of problems, but
we may have no professional instrument to check them. At
this moment, this debugfs is a good tool, and it may provide
useful information for debug.

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:
