With MLO connections we need to let the firmware pick the rate
as we don't know the link the frame might be transmitted on
(in some cases we do know, but we'd rather always use the FW
and find bugs.) We _did_ end up finding bugs and fixing them,
but older devices likely won't get fixed as we don't have a
need for this there, they cannot support MLO.
Thus, go back to picking a rate on the host for the relevant
frames on older (pre-Bz) devices.

All the regulatory tables from BIOS are going to be loaded
(preferably) from the UEFI instead of the ACPI.
There is a security issue with the fact that anyone can
add these UEFI variables.
The solution for that is to have a lock for all WIFI GUID UEFI
variables, and only if the UEFI variables are locked then we can
read it.
The status of the lock (unlocked, locked, test mode) is indicated
in a ACPI table: Guid Lock ACPI Indicator.
Load this table so the driver knows whether to read from UEFI or
not

When connecting to an AP, we currently initialize the rate
control only after associating. Since we now use firmware
to assign rates to auth/assoc frames rather than using the
data in the station and the firmware doesn't know, they're
transmitted using low mandatory rates. However, if the AP
advertised only higher supported rates we want to use them
to be nicer (it still must receive mandatory rates though),
so send the information to the firmware earlier to have it
know about it and be able to use it.

This adds support for hardware scan after FW version 0.34.35. Currently
we only support scanning on single hardware band and support of dual band
scan will be added in the future. Adjust the current flow to make driver
compatible with different generation ICs.

The channel field slightly differs between WiFi 6 and WiFi 7.
So we prepare some required functions in advance, this doesn't change
existing wifi 6 ICs behavior. This H2C prepares the channel list
to be scanned for. With layout as the following:
+--------+--------------------+-------------------+-----------------------+
| header | number of channels | channel info size | channel_info * number |

This function is to set TX/RX path. Especially for 1SS rate, it can select
to TX on one or two antenna. Before this operation, stop hardware to
prevent transmitting/receiving unexpected packets. After that, restore
settings and reset hardware to prevent it stays on abnormal state.

To set TX/RX path or set channel, we need these helpers to stop TX and
restore settings. The sch_tx stands for scheduler TX channel, and the
cfg_ppdu is to stop reporting PPDU status, so we should stop them during
setting.

Hardware puts RX descriptor and packet in RX DMA buffer, so it could be
over one buffer size if packet size is 11454, and then it will be split
into two segments. WiFi 7 chips use larger size of RX descriptor, so
enlarge DMA buffer size according to RX descriptor to have better
performance and simple flow.

PCI RX ring is a kind of read/write index ring, and DMA and ring index are
asynchronous, so suddenly driver gets newer index ahead before DMA. To
resolve this rare situation, we use a RX tag as helpers to make sure DMA
is done.
The RX tag is a 13-bit value, and range is from 1 ~ 0x1FFF, but 0 isn't
used so should be skipped.
Only enable this validation to coming WiFi 7 chips, because existing
chips use different design and don't really meet this situation.
Add missed rx_ring_eq_is_full for 8851BE by the way.

The wiphy_work infra ensures that the entire worker will run
with the wiphy mutex. It is useful to have RX handlers
running as a wiphy_work, when we don't want the handler to
run in parallel with mac80211 work (to avoid races).
For example - BT notification can disable eSR starting from the next
patch.
In ieee80211_set_active_links we first check that eSR is
allowed, (drv_can_activate_links) and then activate it.
If the BT notif was received after drv_can_activate_links
(which returned true), and before the activation - eSR will be
activated when it shouldn't.
If BT notif is handled with the wiphy mutex, it can't run in
parallel to ieee80211_set_active_links, which also holds that
mutex.
Add the necessary infrastructure here, for use in the next commit.
