Enabling CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST raises many warnings in wilc driver, even on
some places already protected by a read critical section. An example of
such case is in wilc_get_available_idx:
=============================

This warning is due to the section being protected by a srcu critical read
section, but the list traversal being done with classic RCU API. Fix the
warning by using corresponding SRCU read lock/unlock APIs. While doing so,
since we always manipulate the same list (managed through a pointer
embedded in struct_wilc), add a macro to reduce the corresponding
boilerplate in each call site.

The wakeup and sleep commands need to be sent to the WILC chip only
when it is in power save mode (PSM, as controlled by "iw dev wlan0 set
power_save on/off"). The commands are relatively costly, so it pays
to skip them when possible.
iperf3 without this patch (no significant different with PSM on/off):

PSM off (TX is 46% improved, RX slightly improved; may not be significant):

Use the correct sequence to configure clockless registers for chip wake-up.
The following sequence is expected from WILC chip for wakeup:
- set wakeup bit in wakeup_reg register
- after setting the wakeup bit, read back the clock status bit for wakeup
complete.
For SDIO/SPI modules, the wakeup sequence is the same except uses different
register values so refactored the code to use common function for both
SDIO/SPI bus.

Added multiple queues[BK,BE,VI,VO] to handle different priority data
packets. Before adding a packet to the queue, checked its priority from
the header, and then add to the suitable queue. The limit for each queue
is maintained separately. Also while passing the packets to the firmware
via VMM take care to select data packets based on priority and available
space.
