Until now, this driver was written in 80 columns style. However, since
all the functions are prefixed with "wfx_", this constraint is no more
respected in the last patches.
From the perspective of kernel Coding Style, it is not a problem since
it is now allowed to write code on 100 columns.
This patch just unify the code to use 100 columns.

This reverts commit 314fd52f01ead9528a5cda5a868425bb736d93a2.
It turns .h files into non-stand-alone when building, which might cause

When the firmware rejects a frame (because station become asleep or
disconnected), the frame is re-queued in mac80211. However, the
re-queued frame was 8 bytes longer than the original one (the size of
the ICV for the encryption). So, when mac80211 try to send this frame
again, it is a little bigger than expected.
If the frame is re-queued secveral time it end with a skb_over_panic
because the skb buffer is not large enough.
Note it only happens when device acts as an AP and encryption is
enabled.
This patch more or less reverts the commit 049fde130419 ("staging: wfx:
drop useless field from struct wfx_tx_priv").

The device need to receive a skb with necessary space for the ICV. So,
the driver adds this space before to send the frame.
Currently, once the frame is sent, the driver restore the original
content of the skb. However, this step is useless. Mac80211 don't do it
when software encryption is enabled.
Once we have removed this step, it appears that it is no more necessary
to keep hw_key in tx_priv. Then, it is possible to simplify a bunch of
code in the Tx path.

Since the driver does not call ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() anymore, it
is no more necessary to maintain a counter of buffered frames for each
stations.
This change allows to simplify the processing in multiple places in the
driver.

The device is able to send multiple Tx confirmations in the one reply.
In this case, there is only one vif identifier for all the
confirmations.
Unfortunately, to generate this kind of messages the device squashes all
the confirmations whatever their vif ID and use the vif ID of the first
confirmation. So, the driver cannot rely on the vif ID mentioned in the
header. Fortunately, using the packet_id, the driver can retrieve the Tx
request and the associated vif.

In some circumstances, Tx traffic is sent without associated station but
the station exists when the Tx status is received. Beside that, the
driver keep a counter associated to each station. So, in this case, the
counter is not incremented, but is decremented. In this case a warning
"inconsistent notification" appears:

Until now, wfx_flush() flushed queue for while device instead of only
the queue of the intended vif. It sometime failed with a timeout, but
this error was not reported.
Moreover, if the device was frozen, wfx_flush didn't do anything and it
results a potential warning (and maybe a resource leak) when the frozen
device was unregistered.
We can also notice that wfx_tx_queues_wait_empty_vif() did only exist to
work around the broken feature of wfx_flush().
This patch repair wfx_flush() and therefore drop
wfx_tx_queues_wait_empty_vif().

wfx_tx_get_tid() was used as a wrapper around ieee80211_get_tid(). It
did sometime return WFX_MAX_TID to ask to upper layers to not include
the frame in "buffered" counter. The objective of this behavior is not
clear, but tests has shown that wfx_tx_get_tid() can be replaced by
ieee80211_get_tid() without any regressions.
BTW, it is not necessary to save the tid in tx_rpiv since it can be
retrieved from the 802.11 header.

The "link-id" is a slot number provided to the chip. A link-id is
allocated to every station associated with the chip (mainly when the
chip is in AP mode). It is more or less the same thing than the
association ID, but it is limited to 14 values.
Firmware uses the link-id to track the power save status of the
stations.
The current code try to associate a link-id as soon as data are
exchanged with station. It is far easier to rely on sta_add() and
sta_remove().
Until now the value WFX_LINK_ID_NO_ASSOC, was only used when no more
link-id was available. Now, we also use this value for
not-yet-associated stations (that was its primary behavior).

Device and driver maintain a cache of rate policies (aka.
tx_retry_policy in hardware API).
When hif_reset() is sent to hardware, device resets its cache of rate
policies. In order to keep driver in sync, it is necessary to do the
same on driver.
Note, when driver tries to use a rate policy that has not been defined
on device, data is sent at 1Mbps. So, this patch should fix abnormal
throughput observed sometime after a reset of the interface.

Three things make this task more complex than it should:
- Chip necessitate to associate a link-id to each station. It is same
thing than association ID but, using 8 bits only.
- Rate policy is sent separately from Tx frames
- Driver try to handle itself power saving of stations and multicast
data
