WiFi 7 chips doesn't have static const tables defined in driver. If tables
aren't loaded properly from firmware file, driver can get NULL pointer
access exception. One way is to add the checking statements when trying to
access these tables, but I choose to check them right after loading
firmware elements from firmware file, so I don't need to add error handlers
everywhere.
Currently, the needed firmware elements of WiFi 6 chips are all zero, and
coming WiFi 7 chip will need at least BB MCU, parameters of BB and RF.
We will add them after 8922AE is verified.

The tables of BB and RF parameters are pairs of {addr, value}. Load them
and convert from little-endian to CPU order, and show the version to clear
which version we are using.
rtw89_8922ae 0000:03:00.0: Firmware element BB version: 00 04 00 00
rtw89_8922ae 0000:03:00.0: Firmware element radio A version: 00 13 00 00
rtw89_8922ae 0000:03:00.0: Firmware element NCTL version: 00 05 00 00
We use tables defined in firmware elements with higher priority than
original static const tables defined in driver, because WiFi 7 chips will
not define the tables in driver, and existing chips can possibly migrate to
the new design one by one.

In order to pack more data into firmware file, we introduce firmware
elements and append BB_MCU firmware first. The first part of new firmware
file is still unchanged firmware of WiFi CPU, so the new firmware format
can be backward compatible to old format. The new elements part consists
of ID and size basically, which can append more elements simply. To avoid
unaligned access in certain platform and be easy to read, headers of all
elements start at 16-byte aligned address.

More detail of element header is shown below. The additional fields
'version' and 'element_priv[]' are meta data of elements, so that we can
know element version easily, and element_priv[] provide specific fields
for certain element, such as RF path index for RF parameter tables.

For existing chips, firmware is only for WiFi CPU, but WiFi 7 chips add
new hardware component BB MCU that needs firmware as well. The firmwares of
BB MCU 0/1 are also downloaded via the same path like WiFi CPU firmware,
and use the same firmware header format, so add firmware suits to access
them commonly.

A firmware with v1 format contains many sections to download. Add parser to
read section type, target address, length, checksum and so on, and then
download the section to WiFi CPU with proper location.
The additional dynamic header length named dynamic_hdr_len is used to
skip content of dynamic header containing compiler flags of firmware, which
can help to determine variant firmware build, but currently rtw89 only
use single one variant. So, just skip the content.
The layout of a WiFi CPU firmware with v1 format looks like:
+---------------------------------------+

H2C RA V1 command adds two words to support WiFi 7 chips, which can
possibly support up to 4SS rates. Because current chips have only 2SS
rates, leave the fields blank for now. The main changes are to set

RA (rate adaptive) H2C command is used to tell firmware which rates can
be used for specified MAC ID. Basically, this commit doesn't change result.
Only change to set two 32-bit instead of continual 8-byte rate masks one
by one. Originally, we only set 5-byte masks, because existing WiFi 6
2SS chips only need 5-byte masks. Setting two 32-bit masks will be more

When using compressed firmware, the early firmware load feature will fail.
In most cases, the only downside is that if a device has more than one
firmware version available, only the last one listed will be loaded.
In at least two cases, there is no firmware loaded, and the device fails
initialization. See https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/issues/259 and
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1212808 for examples of
the failure.

in 5 GHz, so reduce elements from 4 to 2, and use index to iterate them.
Meanwhile, always do RX narrowband calibration (ID_NBRXK) for each group.

In the wpa_supplicant rekey flow, it sends an EAPOL packet 4/4 through
nl80211_tx_control_port() and triggers wake_tx_queue() in the driver.
Then, it sends nl80211_new_key() to configure a new key in mac80211.
However, in wake_tx_queue(), a workqueue is used to process the tx packet,
which might cause the driver to process the EAPOL packet later than
nl80211_new_key(). As a result, the EAPOL 4/4 packet is dropped by mac80211
due to the rekey configuration being finished. The EAPOL packets belongs to
VO packets that need high priority. Therefore, we process VO packets
directly without workqueue to ensure that packets can process immediately.
VO is normally used by voice application that is low traffic load and low
latency, that doesn't affect user experience.

For combo chips, antennas were controlled by bluetooth only during
power on. If WiFi wish to do transmission, notification to the coexistence
module are required. Previously we only do this before authentication.
To allow transmission before auth, such as management TX, now we start
the initiation of coexistence earlier so antennas are shared between
WiFi and bluetooth after set_channel(), and frames could then be sent.
