Some SAR sources, e.g. ACPI, may allow different SAR configs by antenna.
Previously, the minimum config between antennas was taken. Because there
are differences between HW design, different chips might have different
solutions to achieve this. So, it cannot be done through a single common
handling. Now, add the relevant skeleton for this purpose ahead.
First, add a flag into chip info to describe whether it has implemented
this function or not. Second, support to query SAR config for a given RF
path. With it, each chip can implement its own handling. Then, if a chip
declares to support this function, when it queries SAR config without a
given RF path, it gets a maximum config between antennas.

Support to load dynamic SAR tables with ACPI RWRD method. The content
format of a single dynamic SAR table is basically the same as static
SAR table. However, it's able to carry multiple dynamic SAR tables at
one time. And, its header contains one more field to describe how many
dynamic SAR tables are filled in the content. Either static SAR table
or dynamic SAR tables can be supported, but not both simultaneously.
Besides, also support to load indicator of dynamic SAR with ACPI RWSI
method. The indicator will describe a target dynamic SAR table, which
should be followed currently, by antenna. It can be changed at runtime
according to platform mode. For example, tablet mode can use different
SAR from normal mode. So, track indicator configuration if dynamic SAR
is configured.

To support SAR configuration in BIOS via ACPI, add related subbnad/band
converting/handling function and define SW format to store result after
parsing. Then, register a new SAR source, i.e. ACPI, into SAR flow and
implement its query function.
Besides, tweak priority of common SAR to be the highest. And, ACPI SAR
can just be configured once when no other sources is already working.
For now, evaluating SAR via ACPI returns -ENOENT, i.e. ACPI SAR doesn't
really work yet. The evaluating flow will be implemented in the following.

The following implementations will support SAR source from ACPI/BIOS.
And when querying, it needs to take more parameters into account. To
avoid changing function prototype of querying SAR everytime when new
SAR source is introduced, wrap query parameters into a structure first.

TAS state switching mechanism now incorporates the TX ratio as a
decision parameter. The average power calculation has been improved
by using a higher resolution conversion from dBm to linear. During
scan or MCC operations, TAS state is forced to static SAR and
suspend the average power calculation. Additionally, TAS window
size depends on the regulatory domain and band to ensure compliance.
TAS is enabled when permitted by the regulatory domain and is
currently supported on the 8852CE.
For debugging, add a flag to disable_dm that can stop TAS mechanism.

Since debugfs needs wiphy lock held, wiphy_locked_debugfs_{read,write}()
will be adopted, so implmenet file_ops::read/write along with their
arguments.
For reading part, it needs lots of changes because seq_file is not
suitable for wiphy_locked_debugfs_{read,write}(), so use spatch script
below to convert basically, and manually implement the functions.
@ rule1 @
identifier m;
@@
- seq_printf(m,
+ p += scnprintf(p, end - p,
...)
@ rule2 @
identifier m;
@@
- seq_puts(m,
+ p += scnprintf(p, end - p,
...)
For current version, only 4K buffer to output. To note ourselves, add
ellipsis symbol "..." to trailing if buffer is full. Later, add an option
to specify buffer size needed by a debugfs entry.

TX power in MAC domain is signed 7 bits. (unit: based on txpwr_factor_mac)
The valid range should be [-64, 63].
While the original wrong bounds might not really be encountered, still make
them correct.

If multiple channels, SAR will be hard to determine the center frequency
to query. Therefore, we move this decision out of SAR.

Time Averaged SAR (TAS) tracks the amount of transmit power over a
period of time and adjusts the power accordingly. Two thresholds are
used to determine when to increase or reduce transmit power: Dynamic
Power Reduction (DPR) on/off. Compared to Static SAR, which has a
constant transmit power, TAS can improve the user experience or
range extension.
TAS can be enabled through BIOS, and the driver will evaluate
Realtek ACPI DSM with RTW89_ACPI_DSM_FUNC_TAS_EN to determine
whether TAS should be enabled.

This driver named rtw89, which is the next generation of rtw88, supports
Realtek 8852AE 802.11ax 2x2 chip whose new features are OFDMA, DBCC,
Spatial reuse, TWT and BSS coloring; now some of them aren't implemented
though.
The chip architecture is entirely different from the chips supported by
rtw88 like RTL8822CE 802.11ac chip. First of all, register address ranges
are totally redefined, so it's impossible to reuse register definition. To
communicate with firmware, new H2C/C2H format is proposed. In order to have
better utilization, TX DMA flow is changed to two stages DMA. To provide
rich RX status information, additional RX PPDU packets are added.
Since there are so many differences mentioned above, we decide to propose
a new driver. It has many authors, they are listed in alphabetic order:
