c83c500b55 ath11k: enable idle power save mode
Host sends wmi command to allow hardware enter idle power
save mode in ath11k_mac_op_start function.

hw parameter idle_ps indicates whether idle power save is supported.

e838c14a9e ath11k: enable shadow register configuration and access
To enable shadow register access, host needs to pass shadow
register configuration to firmware via qmi message. Host also
needs to update ring's HP or TP address to shadow register
address. The write operation to shadow register will be
forwarded to target register by hardware automatically, and
the write operation to shadow register is permitted even
when the target is in power save or sleep mode.

Update the shadow config whenever power up happens.

This feature is controlled by hw parameter supports_shadow_regs which is only
enabled for QCA6390.

3f6e6c3291 ath11k: disable monitor mode on QCA6390
QCA6390 does not support monitor mode at the moment so disable it altogether,
using a hack as mac80211 does not support disabling it otherwise. Add a boolean
to hw_params to know if hardware supports monitor mode.

IPQ8074 continues to support monitor mode normally.

2626c26970 ath11k: add interface_modes to hw_params
As QCA6390 does not support mesh interfaces, move the interface_modes to
hw_params. Also create interface combinations dynamically so that it's easy to
change the values.

Now QCA6390 does not claim to support mesh interfaces to user space, but
IPQ8074 continues to do that.

4152e4206c ath11k: setup QCA6390 rings for both rxdmas
For QCA6390, only one pdev is created and this pdev manages both lmacs, thus
both rxdmas. So host needs to initialize all rxdma related rings for one pdev.

Another difference is for QCA6390, host fills rxbuf to firmware and firmware
further fills the rxbuf to rxbuf ring for each rxdma.

14dd3a71cc ath11k: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

107560d847 ath11k: set queue_len to 4096
The driver currently does not use wake_txq_queue. This leads to the
tx_queue_len being defaulted to 1000. Setting this parameter will
change the queue_len to 4096 which is more fitting for HE.

d5c65159f2 ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices
ath11k is a new driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices, first
supporting only IPQ8074 SoC using the shared memory AHB bus. ath11k
uses mac80211 and supports AP, Station and Mesh modes.

Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especially
the WMI layer) it was concluded to be simpler to have a "clean start"
for ath11k code base and not try to share the code with ath10k. This
makes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, which
would have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existing
setups.

Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are major
differences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11k
supports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. And
there's only one WMI interface to support.

Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for
802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k is
accepted to upstream.

The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository but
they will be also submitted to linux-firmware:

https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware

This was tested with firmware version WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1.

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