Use napi to reduce overhead on rx interrupts.
Driver used to interrupt kernel for every Rx packet, this could
affect both system and network performance. NAPI is a mechanism that
uses polling when processing huge amount of traffic, by doing this
the number of interrupts can be decreased.
Network performance can also benefit from this patch. Since TCP
connection is bidirectional and acks are required for every several
packets. These ack packets occupie the PCI bus bandwidth and could
lead to performance degradation.
When napi is used, GRO receive is enabled by default in the mac80211
stack. So mac80211 won't pass every RX TCP packets to the kernel TCP
network stack immediately. Instead an aggregated large length TCP packet
will be delivered.
This reduces the tx acks sent and gains rx performance. After the patch,
the Rx throughput increases about 25Mbps in 11ac.

In commit d3ccc14dfe most of the tasklets in this driver was
updated to the new API. However for the rx_work_tasklet only the
type of the callback was changed from
void _rtl_rx_work(unsigned long data)
to
void _rtl_rx_work(struct tasklet_struct *t).
The initialization of rx_work_tasklet was still open-coded and the
function pointer just cast into the old type, and hence nothing sets
rx_work_tasklet.use_callback = true and the callback was still called as
t->func(t->data);
with uninitialized/zero t->data.
Commit 6b8c7574a5 changed the casting of _rtl_rx_work a bit and
initialized t->data to a pointer to the tasklet cast to an unsigned
long.
This way calling t->func(t->data) might actually work through all the
casting, but it still doesn't update the code to use the new tasklet
API.
Let's use the new tasklet_setup to initialize rx_work_tasklet properly
and set rx_work_tasklet.use_callback = true so that the callback is
called as
t->callback(t);
without all the casting.

The LTR mechanism enables PCIE Endpoints to report the service latency
requirements and CPU will enter appropriate sleep state to save power
based on the LTR value.
8723de provides two registers to config the LTR, and the original setting
is too short for CPU to ente sleep state. The patch adjust the LTR setting.

Sometimes driver does not get tx report from firmware because wifi
environment is too noisy to get ack from AP about a TX frame,
or firmware is too busy to report driver in a estimated time.
But the condition will not affect wifi function or throughput.
So we reduce the log level to rtw_debug instead of scary backtrace.

ofdm_index[] is used to indicate how many power compensation is needed to
current thermal value. For internal PA module or 2.4G band, the min_index
is different from other cases.
This issue originally is reported by Dan. He found the size of ofdm_index[]
is 2, but access index 'i' may be equal to 2 if 'rf' is 2 in case of
'is2t'.
In fact, the chunk of code is added to wrong place, so move it back to
proper place, and then power compensation and buffer overflow are fixed.

When 8822CE is associating with AP, driver will poll status bit of
IQ calibration to confirm the IQ calibration is done, and then move on
the association process. Current polling time for IQ calibration is 6
seconds.
But occasionally driver fails in polling the status bit because the status
bit is not set after IQ calibration is done. When it happends, association
process will be serieously delayed up to 6 seconds. To avoid it, we reduce
polling time to 300ms, in which the IQ calibration can be done.

When driver was developed, FCC regulation didn't enable channel 144
and there was no demand for channel 144 at that time. Although HW
actually supports channel 144, driver didn't announce channel 144.
Therefore, channel 144 (20 MHz), channel 142 (40 MHz) and channel
138 (80 MHz) couldn't be used.
Today, channel 144 has been enabled by regulations and
is gradually being supported. With test requirements,
we declare hw supports channel 144.

Some AP will not follow the power save request, or it cannot stop
transmission until its queue is empty. It may bring the decreasing of
data rate.
WLAN firmware will count is the AP still leaked packet after power save
handshake was done or not to enable WLAN slot extend mechanism.
The extend WLAN slot mechanism will extend the WLAN slot after power save
handshake, 5 ms per times, maximum is 5 times to received the leaked packet
to avoid the rate lower down.
And if the transmission was already locked at CCK rate.
The extended WLAN slot can also increase the opportunity that we can
received the CCK's long packet and be released from CCK rate.
While BT multi-link status was finished, there is possible that it still
has some packet remained for seconds. Add a timer to remain the multi-link
mechanism to protect WLAN Rx.
