In the Inter Multi-Link Operation, the primary device is expected to receive
the partner device buffer. Therefore, each device initializes the partner
device buffer in their cmem configuration. So add a helper function to
initialize the partner device buffer in their cmem configuration.

Currently, hardware abstractions (ah) of different radio bands are tightly
coupled to a single device (ab). But, with hardware device group abstraction
(ag), multiple radios across different devices in a group can form different
combinations of hardware abstractions (ah) within the group. Hence, the mapping
between ah to ab can be removed and instead it can be mapped with struct
ath12k_hw_group (ag).
Current mapping between struct ath12k_hw (ah), struct ath12k_base (ab) and struct
ath12k_hw_group (ag):

| | +-----------+ | +-----------+ | |
| | Dual band device-1 (ab) | |
| +-------------------------------------+ |
| ath12k_hw_group (ag) based on group id |
+------------------------------------------------+
After hardware device group abstraction moving ah array out of ab to ag:

This decoupling of struct ath12k_hw (ah) from struct ath12k_base (ab) and
mapping it to struct ath12k_hw_group (ag) will help in forming different
combinations of multi-link devices.

Currently reoqueue tid setup uses lookup table (LUT) during peer association,
but for ML peer there will be multiple link peers (belonging to different

setup only on one of the links which is the primary link.
Add changes to create separate ML reo queue lookup table for ML peers and use
the same while setting up rx tid for ML peer's primary link. For ML peers use
ml_peer_id instead of peer_id to setup/lookup the reo queue entry in the LUT.

To prepare the driver for MLO support, split the driver vif data structure to
scale for multiple links. This requires changing the use of arvif to per link
and not per hw which can now comprise of multiple links. Also since most
configurations from mac80211 are done per link, do refactoring of the driver
functions to apply these configurations at link level.
Split ath12k_vif which is the driver private of ieee80211_vif to store link
specific information as ath12k_link_vif. For default use cases the ath12k vif
will have a preallocated link vif called deflink which will be used by non ML
and the first link vif of ML vif.
With MLO support to be added, remaining link vifs will be allocated during
channel assignment where vdev create/start happens. These link vifs will be
freed during interface down.

To refactor existing ath12k_vif to make use of link vifs, following
changes are made:
1. ath12k_vif now called by variable name ahvif storing multiple
arvifs (struct ah12k_link_vif) and also has a back pointer to ieee80211_vif.
2. In this patch set, only deflink is used to be on par with the
existing code. When MLO support is added the link id will be used to fetch
the arvif.
3. For mac80211 ops which doesn't use specific link_id, the config or info
is common for the vif, hence apply the config to all link vifs.
The links_map in the ahvif, will be used to identify all the link vifs that
are setup.
4. Change ath12k_vif_to_arvif() as ath12k_vif_to_ahvif() to fetch the
hw level vif. The link vif can be fetched from ahvif->link[], or the
deflink can be accessed via ahvif->deflink. API to access link
vif (arvif) by passing link_id can be introduced with MLO Support.
5. The ieee80211_vif can be accessed from ahvif using ath12k_ahvif_to_vif().
The locking continues to use wiphy_lock() for protecting access to most data in
struct ath12k&co, there are no changes in that regard. Though struct
ath12k_vif::link[] is protected with RCU.

When a packet arrives in Rx rings, the RX descriptor moves from the used
list to the free list. Then, the rxdma ring gets replenished, where the Rx
descriptor again moves from the free list to the used list. At the end, the
descriptor came to the used list with unnecessary list movement. The
descriptor used list is maintained in the Rxdma ring structure, which
creates lock contention for the list operations (add, delete) in the Rx
data path. Optimize the Rx data path by removing the used list from the
common Rxdma ring and maintain as a local variable in the Rx ring handler
itself, which avoid lock contention. Now, to find the used list descriptor
during descriptor cleanup, we need to check the in_use flag for each Rx
descriptor.

Most of the RX descriptors fields are currently not used in the
ath12k driver. Hence add support to selectively subscribe to the
required quad words (64 bits) within msdu_end and mpdu_start of
rx_desc.
Add compact rx_desc structures and configure the bit mask for Rx TLVs
(msdu_end, mpdu_start, mpdu_end) via registers. With these registers
SW can configure to DMA the partial TLV struct to Rx buffer.
Each TLV type has its own register to configure the mask value.
The mask value configured in register will indicate if a particular
QWORD has to be written to rx buffer or not i.e., if Nth bit is enabled
in the mask Nth QWORD will be written and it will not be written if the
bit is disabled in mask. While 0th bit indicates whether TLV tag will be
written or not.
Advantages of Qword subscription of TLVs
- Avoid multiple cache-line misses as the all the required fields
of the TLV are within 128 bytes.
- Memory optimization as TLVs + DATA + SHINFO can fit in 2k buffer
even for 64 bit kernel.

the required fields. To make word mask subscription changes compatible
with the older firmware version (firmware that does not support word
mask subscription), two different structures of rx_desc will be
required for the same hardware.
The hardware param hal_desc_sz value cannot be constant for the same
hardware. It depends on the size of rx_desc structure which may
change based on firmware capability to support word mask subscription.
Hence, remove hal_desc_sz from hardware param and add hal_rx_ops
to get the size of rx_desc in run time.

For WCN7850, there is a SRNG named MAC buffer ring, i.e.,
dp->rx_mac_buf_ring. During initialization, it is setup
by host and then under control of firmware. During RX
process, firmware fetches buffers from
dp->rx_refill_buf_ring to fill that MAC buffer ring,
and those buffers are taken by RXDMA to carry real WLAN
frames received from air.
Currently a low RX throughput is observed. Checking
firmware log, lots of errors are reported by MAC buffer
ring, complaining that it is running out of buffers,
which further indicates that RXDMA is suffering from
starvation. Currently the size of dp->rx_mac_buf_ring
is configured as 1024. After changing it to 2048, those
error messages are reduced, and a 6.4% increase is seen
in peak throughput. Note that 2048 is an empirical
value. It is chosen here because the RX throughput
meets our expectation after the change.
This change only applies to WCN7850 since other
chips don't have a MAC buffer ring.

ath12k is a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices, first
supporting QCN9274 and WCN7850 PCI devices. QCN9274 supports both AP
and station; WCN7850 supports only station mode. Monitor mode is not
(yet) supported. Only PCI bus devices are supported.
ath12k is forked from an earlier version of ath11k. It was simpler to
have a "clean start" for the new generation and not try to share the
code with ath11k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids major
changes in ath11k, which would have significantly increased the risk
of regressions in existing setups.
ath12k uses le32 and cpu_to_le32() macros to handle endian
conversions, instead of using the firmware byte swap feature utilized
by ath11k. There is only one kernel module, named ath12k.ko.
Currently ath12k only supports HE mode (IEEE 802.11ax) or older, but
work is ongoing to add EHT mode (IEEE 802.11be) support.
The size of the driver is ~41 kLOC and 45 files. To make the review
easier, this initial version of ath12k does not support Device Tree,
debugfs or any other extra features. Those will be added later, after
ath12k is accepted to upstream.
The driver is build tested by Intel's kernel test robot with both GCC
and Clang. Sparse reports no warnings. The driver is mostly free of
checkpatch warnings, albeit few of the warnings are omitted on
purpose, list of them here:

The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabetical
order below.
