With MLO connections we need to let the firmware pick the rate
as we don't know the link the frame might be transmitted on
(in some cases we do know, but we'd rather always use the FW
and find bugs.) We _did_ end up finding bugs and fixing them,
but older devices likely won't get fixed as we don't have a
need for this there, they cannot support MLO.
Thus, go back to picking a rate on the host for the relevant
frames on older (pre-Bz) devices.

All the regulatory tables from BIOS are going to be loaded
(preferably) from the UEFI instead of the ACPI.
There is a security issue with the fact that anyone can
add these UEFI variables.
The solution for that is to have a lock for all WIFI GUID UEFI
variables, and only if the UEFI variables are locked then we can
read it.
The status of the lock (unlocked, locked, test mode) is indicated
in a ACPI table: Guid Lock ACPI Indicator.
Load this table so the driver knows whether to read from UEFI or
not

When connecting to an AP, we currently initialize the rate
control only after associating. Since we now use firmware
to assign rates to auth/assoc frames rather than using the
data in the station and the firmware doesn't know, they're
transmitted using low mandatory rates. However, if the AP
advertised only higher supported rates we want to use them
to be nicer (it still must receive mandatory rates though),
so send the information to the firmware earlier to have it
know about it and be able to use it.

The wiphy_work infra ensures that the entire worker will run
with the wiphy mutex. It is useful to have RX handlers
running as a wiphy_work, when we don't want the handler to
run in parallel with mac80211 work (to avoid races).
For example - BT notification can disable eSR starting from the next
patch.
In ieee80211_set_active_links we first check that eSR is
allowed, (drv_can_activate_links) and then activate it.
If the BT notif was received after drv_can_activate_links
(which returned true), and before the activation - eSR will be
activated when it shouldn't.
If BT notif is handled with the wiphy mutex, it can't run in
parallel to ieee80211_set_active_links, which also holds that
mutex.
Add the necessary infrastructure here, for use in the next commit.

eSR is activated when a chanctx is assigned to more than one link.
During eSR activation we should disable RLC for both phys, and configure
the FW with a special phy command for both phys.
Currently we assign the phy_ctxt to the link only after eSR activation,
so RLC is not disabled for the new phy_ctxt, and a cmd is not sent to FW.
Fix this by first assigning the new phy_ctxt to the link and then
doing the eSR activation.

There's only one user of this code, which is STA unblock
during sleep for uAPSD on really old devices. Instead of
having this all through the API with calls up and down,
just implemented a special-case CMD_BLOCK_TXQS flag for
this, it's only needed in the old gen1 transport.
While at it, fix a complain that lockdep would have, as
we lock the cmd queue and then the TXQs in the reclaim
by using spin_lock_nested(). We no longer need to disable
BHs in iwl_trans_pcie_block_txq_ptrs() since it's called
with them disabled already.

When the vif is in MLD mode, we'll get a vif links change from
non-zero to zero on disassociation, which removes all links in
the firmware and adds the 'deflink' the driver/mac80211 has.
This causes the firmware to clear some internal state.
However, in non-MLD mode, this doesn't happen, and causes some
state to be left around in firmware, which can particularly
cause trouble with the ref-BSSID in multi-BSSID, leading to an
assert later if immediately making a new multi-BSSID connection
with a different ref-BSSID.
Fix this by removing/re-adding the link in the non-MLD case
when the channel is removed from the vif. This way, all of the
state will get cleared out, even if we need the deflink, which
is more for software architecture purposes than otherwise.

If a TX queue has no space for new TX frames, the driver will keep
these frames in the overflow queue, and during reclaim flow it
will retry to send the frames from that queue.
But if the reclaim flow was invoked from TX queue flush, we will also
TX these frames, which is wrong as we don't want to TX anything
after flush.
This might also cause assert 0x125F when removing the queue,
saying that the driver removes a non-empty queue
Fix this by TXing the overflow queue's frames only if we are
not in flush queue flow.
