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.

Software encrypted packets can be passed not just through the drv_tx callback,
but also through the intermediate tx queue.
In order to deal with that, move the override to mt76x02_mac_write_txwi and

On MT76x2, the hardware does not report tx status in the FIFO register,
if the packet id is 0.
Change the allocation of packet IDs to use 0 for no-ack packets, 1 for
non-probing packets and 2-255 for packets with tx status requested.
Fixes rate control issues

MT76x2/MT76x0 has somewhat unreliable tx status reporting, and for that
reason the driver currently does not report per-skb tx ack status at all.
This breaks things like client idle polling, which relies on the tx ack
status of a transmitted nullfunc frame.
This patch adds code to report skb-attached tx status if requested by
mac80211 or the rate control module. Since tx status is polled from a
simple FIFO register, the code needs to account for the possibility of
tx status events getting lost.
The code keeps a list of skbs for which tx status is required and passes
them to mac80211 once tx status has been filled in and the DMA queue is
done with it.
If a tx status event is not received after one second, the status rates
are cleared, and a succesful ACK is indicated to avoid spurious disassoc
during assoc or client polling.

control->sta is set to NULL early when encryption is turned on for the
station and info->control.hw_key is not set.
This code is missing a check for the 802.11 header protected flag, otherwise
it resets the station for other frames, e.g. client probing frames.
