RTL8811CU doesn't report the signal strength for many (any?) data
frames. When the signal strength is not known, set
RX_FLAG_NO_SIGNAL_VAL in order to avoid reporting a signal
strength of 0.

rtw8703b_query_rx_desc(), rtw8723d_query_rx_desc(),
rtw8821c_query_rx_desc(), rtw8822b_query_rx_desc(), and
rtw8822c_query_rx_desc() are almost identical, so replace them all with
a single function, rtw_rx_query_rx_desc().
Also, access the RX descriptor using a struct with __le32 members and
le32_get_bits().
Tested with RTL8811CU, RTL8811AU, and RTL8812AU.

For CCK packets we could get incorrect reports from hardware.
And this causes wrong frequencies being reported. Parse the channel
information from IE if provided by AP to fix this.

We should only fill in frequency reported by firmware during scan.
Add this so frames won't be dropped by mac80211 due to frequency
mismatch.

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.

In the current design, various chip functions and tables
are built into rtw88 core. That causes kernel to load its
functionalities even if a chip isn't currently used. We
plan to make each chip's functionalities a separate
kernel module to reduce rtw88 core. And kernel will be
able to load the necessary.
Before extracting chip functionalities, we export symbols
inside rtw88 core which will be used in chip modules.

Driver just memset() rx_status to 0 before assigning rate indexes.
And driver could never hit the 'else' because the driver checks
if 'pkt_stat->rate >= DESC_RATEMCS0', so the 'else' statement can
be removed.
Also rearrange the if..else statements because DESC_RATEMCS0 is
actually larger than DESC_RATE1M ~ DESC_RATE54M, move the check
of 'pkt_stat->rate >= DESC_RATEMCS0' to the last to keep an
increasing order.

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.

Whenever the firmware increases/decreases the bit rate used
to transmit to a peer, it sends an RA report through C2H to
driver. Driver can then record the bit rate in the peer's
struct rtw_sta_info, and report to mac80211 when it asks us
for the statistics of the sta by ieee80211_ops::sta_statistics

Remove PS related *_irqsafe functions to avoid entering/leaving PS
under interrupt context. Instead, make PS decision in watch_dog.
This could simplify the logic and make the code look clean.
But it could have a little side-effect that if the driver is having
heavy traffic before the every-2-second watch_dog detect the traffic
and decide to leave PS, the thoughput will be lower. Once traffic is
detected by watch_dog and left PS state, the throughput will resume
to the peak the hardware ought to have again.

Report chains and chain_signal in ieee80211_rx_status.
It is useful for program such as tcpdump to see if the
antennas are well connected/placed.
8822C is able to receive CCK rates with 2 antennas, while
8822B can only use 1 antenna path to receive CCK rates.

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:
