rtw-next patches for v6.12
A pull-request for v6.12 containing fixes and features, and list major
changes below:
rtw88:
- improve USB performance by aggregation
- fix RX bandwidth for rx_status
rtw89:
- support new WiFi 6 chip RTL8852BE-VT
- support WoWLAN net-detect feature
- support hardware encryption in unicast management frames
- support hardware rfkill
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the
middle of multiple other structs, we use the `__struct_group()`
helper to create a new tagged `struct libipw_hdr_3addr_hdr`.
This structure groups together all the members of the flexible
`struct libipw_hdr_3addr` except the flexible array.
As a result, the array is effectively separated from the rest of the
members without modifying the memory layout of the flexible structure.
We then change the type of the middle struct members currently causing
trouble from `struct libipw_hdr_3addr` to `struct libipw_hdr_3addr_hdr`.
We also want to ensure that when new members need to be added to the
flexible structure, they are always included within the newly created
tagged struct. For this, we use `static_assert()`. This ensures that the
memory layout for both the flexible structure and the new tagged struct
is the same after any changes.
This approach avoids having to implement `struct libipw_hdr_3addr_hdr`
as a completely separate structure, thus preventing having to maintain
two independent but basically identical structures, closing the door
to potential bugs in the future.
Also, remove a couple of unused structures `struct libipw_ibss_dfs` and
`struct libipw_assoc_request`.
So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:

Enable USB RX aggregation when there is at least 1 Mbps RX or TX
traffic, otherwise disable it.
USB RX aggregation improves the RX speed of RTL8811CU on certain ARM
systems, like the NanoPi NEO Core2. Before: 28 Mbps, after: 231 Mbps.
It also improves the RX speed of RTL8822CU on some x86_64 systems.
Before: ~200 Mbps, after: ~300 Mbps.
The official drivers for these chips use the same logic for SDIO, but
for some reason the SDIO driver in rtw88 always enables RX aggregation,
so this patch only toggles aggregation for USB devices.
RTL8703B is likely not found in USB devices, and RTL8723DU doesn't like
aggregation.

The chips can be configured to aggregate several frames into a single
USB transfer. Modify rtw_usb_rx_handler() to support this case.
RX aggregation improves the RX speed of RTL8811CU on certain ARM
systems, like the NanoPi NEO Core2. It also improves the RX speed of
RTL8822CU on some x86_64 systems.
Currently none of the chips are configured to aggregate frames.
Tested with RTL8822CU, RTL8811CU, and RTL8723DU.

The delay option is the period in unit of second for WoWLAN firmware
to wait before the first scan. We get the option from cfg80211 and
practice it. Another, in some platform, WoWLAN firmware may found
configured network and then trigger resume process, before suspend
process is completed, lead to the wakeup function failed.
So the default value is set one to avoid the issue.

Net-detect is an option of WoWLAN to allow the device to
be woken up from suspend mode when configured network is detected.
When user enables net-detect and lets the device enter suspend
state, WoWLAN firmware will periodically scan until beacon or
probe response of configured networks are received. If configured
networks are detected, WoWLAN firmware will trigger resume process.

When net-detect is enabled, WoWLAN firmware will periodically
scan until beacon or probe response of configured networks are
received. To reduce power consumption, the FW-IPS mode is
implemented to keep WiFi chip in idle mode between each scan.
The FW-IPS is controlled by WoWLAN firmware to turn of some critical
electrical components, and is different from the original IPS mode
which most electrical components are turned off.

Driver has supported different WoWLAN reason code by commit 0e52102177
("wifi: rtw89: wow: update WoWLAN reason register for different FW")
since firmware version 0.27.80.0. The old driver can't support two
kinds of WoWLAN reason, so increase firmware format to v1.
Also driver tables of BB and RF registers and power values will be added

When the firmware interface layer was refactored it provided various
"get" and "set" functions. For the "get" in some cases a parameter
needed to be passed down to firmware as a key indicating what to
"get" turning the output parameter of the "get" function into an
input parameter as well. To accommodate this the "get" function blindly
copies the parameter which in some places resulted in an uninitialized
warnings from the compiler. These have been fixed by initializing the
input parameter in the past. Recently another batch of similar fixes
were submitted to address clang static checker warnings [1].
Proposing another solution by introducing a "query" variant which is used
when the (input) parameter is needed by firmware. The "get" variant will
only fill the (output) parameter with the result received from firmware
taking care of proper endianess conversion.

Originally, rtw89_btc_phymap() and rtw89_btc_path_phymap() access chan
with hard-code RTW89_CHANCTX_0. But, they are problematic when the chip
supports multiple channels.
So, change their prototype and pass chanctx_idx ahead. Let callers still
pass RTW89_CHANCTX_0 for now, but we will refine callers in the following.

Originally, we planed to fill MAC_0/1 indicators with chanctx and
use sub_entity_xxx for these things. However, there are some reasons
listed below which make us give up this plan after we know our Wi-Fi 7
HW design.
1. one link is bound to one HW band during its life time
but, one link might change chanctx dynamically
2. in concurrent mode, assume 1st vif is MLD
1st vif's 2nd link might use the same chanctx as 2nd vif
but, they are not on the same HW band
So, we let sub_entity_xxx stuffs deal with only chanctx now. And, to be
more readable, we rename sub_entity related words to chanctx.
No logic is changed.

Originally during unassign-chanctx, MCC (multi-channel concurrency) is
re-planed before set-channel if need. But, we might calculate MCC stuffs
based on old channel info. And, the following set-channel might be racing
with FW MCC state mechanism. So, we refine this flow. Now, if MCC re-plan
is needed here, it will be done after set-channel.
Besides, to be more rigorous, we now ensure entity isn't paused before we
deal with MCC things here.

"iw dev wlp2s0 station dump" shows incorrect rx bitrate:
tx bitrate: 866.7 MBit/s VHT-MCS 9 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 2
rx bitrate: 86.7 MBit/s VHT-MCS 9 VHT-NSS 1
This is because the RX band width is calculated incorrectly. Fix the
calculation according to the phydm_rxsc_2_bw() function from the
official drivers.
After:
tx bitrate: 866.7 MBit/s VHT-MCS 9 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 2
rx bitrate: 390.0 MBit/s VHT-MCS 9 80MHz VHT-NSS 1
