One chip can have different RFE (RF front end) types which we will judge
at runtime. And, different RFE types may use different RF parameter tables.
Though we didn't really meet this case previously, we are going to meet it
on upcoming chip RTL8851B. So, this commit handles parameter tables for
runtime RFE type.
We now encapsulate rtw89_txpwr_rule_<2/5/6>ghz tables into rtw89_rfe_parms.
Then, each chip defines its default parameter tables, and if needed, it can
configure extra parameter tables by RFE type. Finally we determine runtime
parameter tables by RFE type if one is configured. Otherwise, we use the
default parameter tables.
For now, we just move all settings under default parameter tables. We will
configure parameter tables by RFE types in separate commits afterwards.

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:
