Add support to record the number of frames enqueued, hardware
descriptor type, encapsulation/encryption types used, frames
dropped and completed. This is useful for understanding the
datapath performance and tune the peak throughput.
The link specific stats can be viewed through the below debugfs file
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/netdev:wlan1/link_stats
link[0] Tx Unicast Frames Enqueued = 9

For MLO netdevice, the broadcast frame should be transmitted with the
same sequence number on all the links.
Per IEEE 802.11be-2024 section 10.3.2.14.2 "Transmitter requirements",
An AP MLD shall use SNS11 in Table 10-5 (Transmitter sequence number
spaces) maintained by the MLD to determine the sequence number of a
group addressed data frame that is transmitted by an AP affiliated
with the AP MLD so that the same group addressed Data frame
transmitted over multiple links by the AP MLD uses the same
sequence number for transmission on each link.
Currently the MLO multicast handling is done in the mac80211 layer.
Enable support for handling MLO Multicast in the driver to update the
hardware descriptors in a custom way to handle the multicast frames.
Firmware expects the MLO multicast frames to the submitted to the
hardware with special vdev_id (actual vdev_id + 128) to recognize it as
a host inspected frame to avoid using the reinjected path and it also
uses the multicast global sequence number (GSN) provided by the host
in the HTT metadata to process and transmit it with the same sequence
number.

To prepare the driver for MLO support, split the driver vif data structure to
scale for multiple links. This requires changing the use of arvif to per link
and not per hw which can now comprise of multiple links. Also since most
configurations from mac80211 are done per link, do refactoring of the driver
functions to apply these configurations at link level.
Split ath12k_vif which is the driver private of ieee80211_vif to store link
specific information as ath12k_link_vif. For default use cases the ath12k vif
will have a preallocated link vif called deflink which will be used by non ML
and the first link vif of ML vif.
With MLO support to be added, remaining link vifs will be allocated during
channel assignment where vdev create/start happens. These link vifs will be
freed during interface down.
Current ath12k_vif(arvif) structure

The new ath12k_vif (ahvif) containing ath12k_link_vif(s) (arvif) (deflink is
preallocated member which is always the first link if ieee80211_vif is MLD and
is the only link otherwise):

| +-------------------------------+
| |
+---------------------------------+
To refactor existing ath12k_vif to make use of link vifs, following
changes are made:
1. ath12k_vif now called by variable name ahvif storing multiple
arvifs (struct ah12k_link_vif) and also has a back pointer to ieee80211_vif.
2. In this patch set, only deflink is used to be on par with the
existing code. When MLO support is added the link id will be used to fetch
the arvif.
3. For mac80211 ops which doesn't use specific link_id, the config or info
is common for the vif, hence apply the config to all link vifs.
The links_map in the ahvif, will be used to identify all the link vifs that
are setup.
4. Change ath12k_vif_to_arvif() as ath12k_vif_to_ahvif() to fetch the
hw level vif. The link vif can be fetched from ahvif->link[], or the
deflink can be accessed via ahvif->deflink. API to access link
vif (arvif) by passing link_id can be introduced with MLO Support.
5. The ieee80211_vif can be accessed from ahvif using ath12k_ahvif_to_vif().
The locking continues to use wiphy_lock() for protecting access to most data in
struct ath12k&co, there are no changes in that regard. Though struct
ath12k_vif::link[] is protected with RCU.

Currently, the calculation of ack signal strength is incorrect.
This is because before calculating the ack signal strength, ath12k need
to determine whether the hardware and firmware support db2dbm. If the
hardware and firmware support db2dbm, do not need to add noise floor,
otherwise, need to add noise floor.
Besides, the value of ack_rssi passed by firmware to ath12k should be a
signed number, so change its type to s8.
This patch affects QCN9274 and WCN7850 because they have the same issue.

ath12k is a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices, first
supporting QCN9274 and WCN7850 PCI devices. QCN9274 supports both AP
and station; WCN7850 supports only station mode. Monitor mode is not
(yet) supported. Only PCI bus devices are supported.
ath12k is forked from an earlier version of ath11k. It was simpler to
have a "clean start" for the new generation and not try to share the
code with ath11k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids major
changes in ath11k, which would have significantly increased the risk
of regressions in existing setups.
ath12k uses le32 and cpu_to_le32() macros to handle endian
conversions, instead of using the firmware byte swap feature utilized
by ath11k. There is only one kernel module, named ath12k.ko.
Currently ath12k only supports HE mode (IEEE 802.11ax) or older, but
work is ongoing to add EHT mode (IEEE 802.11be) support.
The size of the driver is ~41 kLOC and 45 files. To make the review
easier, this initial version of ath12k does not support Device Tree,
debugfs or any other extra features. Those will be added later, after
ath12k is accepted to upstream.
The driver is build tested by Intel's kernel test robot with both GCC
and Clang. Sparse reports no warnings. The driver is mostly free of
checkpatch warnings, albeit few of the warnings are omitted on
purpose, list of them here:
https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife/blob/master/tools/scripts/ath12k/ath12k-check#L52
The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabetical
order below.
