On the first wiphy, hw->priv will point to struct mt76_dev, which contains a
struct mt76_phy at the start. For the secondary wiphy, hw->priv will point
to a mt76_phy encapsulated in a driver specific struct
To simplify access to struct mt76_phy members from drivers, the driver specific
device struct is changed to add a union of struct mt76_dev and struct mt76_phy
as the first element

MT7615 chips usually come pre-calibrated, even when used on embedded boards.
In that case, the on-flash EEPROM data needs to be merged with some data
from OTP ROM.
Run this merge if the external EEPROM data is valid and OTP has valid fields.

The hardware expects MT_TX_RATE_NSS to be filled with the number of
space/time streams. For non-STBC rates, this is equal to nss.
For 1-stream STBC, this needs to be set to 2.
This is relevant for VHT rates only, on HT, the value is derived from MCS
internally.

- Store the previous and current rate set in the driver + the TSF value
at the time of the switch.
- Use the tx status TSF value to determine which rate set needs to be used
as reference.
- Report only short or long GI rates for a single status event, not a mix.
- The hardware reports the last used rate index. Use it along with the
retry count to figure out what rate was used for the first attempt.
- Use the same retry count value for all rate slots to make this calculation
work.
- Derive the probe rate from the current rateset instead of the skb cb
- Do not wait for a status report for the probe frame before removing the
probe rate from the rate table. Do it immediately after it was referenced
in a tx status report.
- Use the first half of the first rate retry budget for the probe rate
in order to avoid using too many retries on that rate
- Switch from lower rates to higher rates more conservatively
- enable hardware rate up/down selection

Since we don't clean that tx queue from the tx tasklet, we need to do it
after the firmware upload is done. This patch also adds a cleanup step during
the upload, to help reclaim memory faster.
Fixes unprocessed queued frames eating up memory long after the firmware
upload has already completed

When beacon length is not a multiple of 4, the beacon could be sent with
the last 1-3 bytes corrupted. The skb data is guaranteed to have enough
room for reading beyond the end, because it is always followed by
skb_shared_info, so rounding up is safe.
All other callers of mt76_wr_copy have multiple-of-4 length already.

Now that tx status reporting can figure out the first attempted rate, we can
make switching from lower rates to higher rates more conservative.
This reduces retries under bad link conditions and ensures that fallback
rates get more test coverage

Tx status reporting on mt7603 has a number of issues:
- the hardware can alter the first rate index, but it is not reported to
the driver
- probing is very imprecise, because it alters the per-client rate set,
but only considers info->status.rates for rate selection of a single probe
packet
- short/long GI selection has limitations, which are not accurately reported
to mac80211
- if rates are changed while packets are in flight, tx status reports for
the old rate set might be processed based on the new selection
This led to very suboptimal rate selection with minstrel_ht.
This patch completely reworks tx status reporting to get rid of these
limitations:
- Store the previous and current rate set in the driver + the TSF value
at the time of the switch.
- Use the tx status TSF value to determine which rate set needs to be used
as reference.
- Report only short or long GI rates for a single status event, not a mix.
- The hardware reports the last used rate index. Use it along with the
retry count to figure out what rate was used for the first attempt.
- Use the same retry count value for all rate slots to make this calculation
work.
- Derive the probe rate from the current rateset instead of the skb cb
- Do not wait for a status report for the probe frame before removing the
probe rate from the rate table. Do it immediately after it was referenced
in a tx status report.
- Use the first half of the first rate retry budget for the probe rate
in order to avoid using too many retries on that rate
With this patch, throughput under bad link conditions is improved
significantly, and there is a lot less rate fluctuation going on.

To avoid aggregating rate control probing packets with other traffic, and to
ensure that the probing rate gets used, probing packets get assigned a different
internal queueing priority.
This causes packets to be transmitted in a different order, which is compensated
by the receiver side reordering.
However, if A-MPDU is disabled, this reordering can become visible to upper
layers on the receiver side. Disable the priority change if A-MPDU is disabled.

When the hardware falls back to lower rates for a transmit attempt, only the
first status report will show the number of retries correctly. The frames
that follow will report the correct final rate, but number of retries set to 0.
This can cause the rate control module to vastly underestimate the number of
retransmissions per rate.
To fix this, we need to keep track of the initial requested tx rate per packet
and pass it to the status information.
For frames with tx status requested, this is simple: use the rate configured
in info->control.rates[0] as reference.
For no-skb tx status information, we have to encode the requested tx rate in
the packet id (and make it possible to distinguish it from real packet ids).
To do that, reduce the packet id field size by one bit, and use that bit to
indicate packet id vs rate.
This change also improves reporting by filling the status rate array with
rates from first rate to final rate, taking the same steps as the hardware
fallback table. This matters in corner cases like MCS8 on HT, where the
fallback target is MCS0, not MCS7.

If the MT_TXD3_SN_VALID flag is not set in the tx descriptor, the hardware
assigns the sequence number. However, the rest of the code assumes that the
sequence number specified in the 802.11 header gets transmitted.
This was causing issues with the aggregation setup, which worked for the
initial one (where the sequence numbers were still close), but not for
further teardown/re-establishing of sessions.
Additionally, the overwrite of the TID sequence number in WTBL2 was resetting
the hardware assigned sequence numbers, causing them to drift further apart.
Fix this by using the software assigned sequence numbers

q->tail can be safely updated without locking, because there is no
concurrent access. If called from outside of the tasklet (for flushing),
the tasklet is always disabled.
q->queued can be safely read without locking, as long as the decrement
happens within the locked section.
This patch allows cleaning up tx packets outside of the section that holds
the queue lock for improved performance
