wifi: wcn36xx: add support for pronto-v3

Pronto v3 has a different DXE address than prior Pronto versions. This
patch changes the macro to return the correct register address based on
the pronto version.

wcn36xx: implement flush op to speed up connected scan

Without ieee80211_ops->flush implemented to empty HW queues, mac80211 will
do a 100ms dead wait after stopping SW queues, before leaving the operating
channel to resume a software connected scan[1].
(see ieee80211_scan_state_resume)

This wait is correctly included in the calculation for whether or not
we've exceeded max off-channel time, as it occurs after sending the null
frame with PS bit set. Thus, with 125 ms max off-channel time we only
have 25 ms of scan time, which technically isn't even enough to scan one
channel (although mac80211 always scans at least one channel per off-
channel window).

Moreover, for passive probes we end up spending at least 100 ms + 111 ms
(IEEE80211_PASSIVE_CHANNEL_TIME) "off-channel"[2], which exceeds the listen
interval of 200 ms that we provide in our association request frame. That's
technically out-of-spec.

[1]: Until recently, wcn36xx performed software (rather than FW-offloaded)
scanning when 5GHz channels are requested. This apparent limitation is now
resolved -- see commit 1395f8a6a4d5 ("wcn36xx: Enable hardware scan offload
for 5Ghz band").
[2]: in quotes because about 100 ms of it is still on-channel but with PS
set

wcn36xx: Remove useless skb spinlock

Each DXE control block is associated to a specific channel.
The channel lock is always taken before accessing a control block.
There is no need to have an extra (useless) spinlock for the control
block skb.

wcn36xx: Fix firmware crash due to corrupted buffer address

wcn36xx_start_tx function retrieves the buffer descriptor from the
channel control queue to start filling tx buffer information. However,
nothing prevents this same buffer to be concurrently accessed in a
concurent tx call, leading to potential buffer coruption and firmware
crash (observed during iperf test). The channel control queue should
only be accessed and updated with the channel lock.

Fix this issue by using a local buffer descriptor which will be copied
in the thread-safe wcn36xx_dxe_tx_frame.

Note that buffer descriptor size is few bytes so the introduced copy
overhead is insignificant. Moreover, this allows to keep the locked
section minimal.

wcn36xx: Check DXE IRQ reason

IRQ reason was not cheked for errors.
Although error handing is not currently supported, it
will be nice to output an error value to the log if the

wcn36xx: Correct DXE chip version differentiation

The CCU block in WCNSS is configured for appropriate routing of
interrupts from the DXE to the application cpu, this is not dependant on
the iris version (wcn3660 vs wcn3680), but rather if the SoC has a riva
or pronto built in.

wcn36xx: introduce per-channel ring buffer locks

wcn36xx implements a ring buffer for transmitted frames for each
(high and low priority) DMA channel. The ring buffers are lockless:
new frames are inserted at the head of the queue, while finished
packets are reaped from the tail.

Unfortunately, the list manipulations are missing any kind of barriers
so are susceptible to various races: for example, a TX completion
handler might read an updated desc->ctrl before the head has actually
advanced, and then null out the ctl->skb pointer while it is still
being used in the TX path.

Simplify things here by adding a spin lock when traversing the ring.
This change increased stability for me without adding any noticeable
overhead on my platform (xperia z).
