These are WiFi 7 devices that will be introduced into the market
in 2023, with new drivers. Wireless extensions haven't been in
real development since 2006. Since wireless has evolved a lot,
and continues to evolve significantly with Multi-Link Operation,
there's really no good way to still support wireless extensions
for devices that do MLO.
Stop supporting wireless extensions for new devices. We don't
consider this a regression since no such devices (apart from
hwsim) exist yet.

Neither FIELD_PREP() nor *_encode_bits() can be used
in constant contexts (such as initializers), but we
don't want to define shift constants for all masks
just for use in initializers, and having checks that
the values fit is also useful.
Therefore, add FIELD_PREP_CONST() which is a smaller
version of FIELD_PREP() that can only take constant
arguments and has less friendly (but not less strict)
error checks, and expands to a constant value.

are separately described. Add a line to avoid the warning.

Due to the two cherry picked commits from wireless to wireless-next we have

USB and (upcoming) SDIO support may sleep in the read/write handlers.
Use non-atomic rtw_iterate_stas() in rtw_ra_mask_info_update() because
the iterator function rtw_ra_mask_info_update_iter() needs to read and
write registers from within rtw_update_sta_info(). Using the non-atomic
iterator ensures that we can sleep during USB and SDIO register reads
and writes. This fixes "scheduling while atomic" or "Voluntary context
switch within RCU read-side critical section!" warnings as seen by SDIO
card users (but it also affects USB cards).

USB and (upcoming) SDIO support may sleep in the read/write handlers.
Shrink the RCU critical section so it only cover the call to
ieee80211_find_sta() and finding the ic_vht_cap/vht_cap based on the
found station. This moves the chip's BFEE configuration outside the
rcu_read_lock section and thus prevent "scheduling while atomic" or
"Voluntary context switch within RCU read-side critical section!"
warnings when accessing the registers using an SDIO card (which is
where this issue has been spotted in the real world - but it also
affects USB cards).

The Realtek rate control algorithm goes back and forth a lot between
the highest and the lowest rate it's allowed to use. This is due to
a lot of frames being dropped because the retry limits set by
IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_RETRY_LIMITS are too low. (Experimentally, they
are 4 for long frames and 7 for short frames.)
The vendor drivers hardcode the value 48 for both retry limits (for
station mode), which makes dropped frames very rare and thus the rate
control is more stable.
Because most Realtek chips handle the rate control in the firmware,
which can't be modified, ignore the limits set by
IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_RETRY_LIMITS and use the value 48 (set during
chip initialisation), same as the vendor drivers.

Or in the case of RTL8188EU, report the RSSI to the rate control code.
The rate control code for RTL8188EU is less likely to switch to a lower
rate when the RSSI is high. The firmware-based rate control in the other
chips probably works the same way.
This affects all the chips, but it was only tested with RTL8188EU,
RTL8188FU, and RTL8192EU.

There is currently no return check for writing an authentication
type (HERMES_AUTH_SHARED_KEY or HERMES_AUTH_OPEN). It looks like
it was accidentally skipped.
This patch adds a return check similar to the other checks in
__orinoco_hw_setup_enc() for hermes_write_wordrec().

The wifi + bluetooth combo chip RTL8723BU can leak memory (especially?)
when it's connected to a bluetooth audio device. The busy bluetooth
traffic generates lots of C2H (card to host) messages, which are not
freed correctly.
To fix this, move the dev_kfree_skb() call in rtl8xxxu_c2hcmd_callback()
inside the loop where skb_dequeue() is called.
The RTL8192EU leaks memory because the C2H messages are added to the
queue and left there forever. (This was fine in the past because it
probably wasn't sending any C2H messages until commit e542e66b7c
("wifi: rtl8xxxu: gen2: Turn on the rate control"). Since that commit
it sends a C2H message when the TX rate changes.)
To fix this, delete the check for rf_paths > 1 and the goto. Let the
function process the C2H messages from RTL8192EU like the ones from
the other chips.
Theoretically the RTL8188FU could also leak like RTL8723BU, but it
most likely doesn't send C2H messages frequently enough.
This change was tested with RTL8723BU by Erhard F. I tested it with
RTL8188FU and RTL8192EU.

TX BD's RAM table describes how HW allocates usable buffer section
for each TX channel at fetch time. The total RAM size for TX BD is
chip-dependent. For 8852BE, it has only half size (32) for TX channels
of single band. Original table arrange total size (64) for dual band.
It will overflow on 8852BE circuit and cause section conflicts between
different TX channels.
So, we do the changes below.
* add another table for single band chip and export both kind of tables
* point to the expected one in rtw89_pci_info by chip
