wcn36xx: Implement tx_rate reporting

Currently, the driver reports a tx_rate of 6.0 MBit/s no matter the true
rate:

root@linaro-developer:~# iw wlan0 link
Connected to 6c:f3:7f:eb:9b:92 (on wlan0)
SSID: SQ-DEVICETEST
freq: 5200
RX: 4141 bytes (32 packets)
TX: 2082 bytes (15 packets)
signal: -77 dBm
rx bitrate: 135.0 MBit/s MCS 6 40MHz short GI
tx bitrate: 6.0 MBit/s

bss flags: short-slot-time
dtim period: 1
beacon int: 100

This patch requests HAL_GLOBAL_CLASS_A_STATS_INFO via a hal_get_stats
firmware message and reports it via ieee80211_ops::sta_statistics.

TX: 1101376 bytes (12119 packets)
signal: -75 dBm
rx bitrate: 135.0 MBit/s MCS 6 40MHz short GI
tx bitrate: 108.0 MBit/s VHT-MCS 5 40MHz VHT-NSS 1

bss flags: short-slot-time
dtim period: 1

Tested on MSM8939 with WCN3680B running firmware CNSS-PR-2-0-1-2-c1-00083,
and verified by sniffing frames over the air with Wireshark to ensure the
MCS indices match.

wcn36xx: Correct band/freq reporting on RX

For packets originating from hardware scan, the channel and band is
included in the buffer descriptor (bd->rf_band & bd->rx_ch).

For 2Ghz band the channel value is directly reported in the 4-bit
rx_ch field. For 5Ghz band, the rx_ch field contains a mapping
index (given the 4-bit limitation).

The reserved0 value field is also used to extend 4-bit mapping to
5-bit mapping to support more than 16 5Ghz channels.

This change adds correct reporting of the frequency/band, that is
used in scan mechanism. And is required for 5Ghz hardware scan
support.

wcn36xx: let device generate qos seq numbers

wcn36xx currently sends an incorrect sequence number into the BA session
setup firmware command: it should be saving or updating the ssn in the
TX_START ampdu_action callback instead of waiting until TX_OPERATIONAL.
However, we can sidestep the issue by letting the hardware generate the
sequence numbers for QoS frames, as is done in prima, so do that.

wcn36xx: mac80211 driver for Qualcomm WCN3660/WCN3680 hardware

This is a mac80211 driver for Qualcomm WCN3660/WCN3680 devices. So
far WCN3660/WCN3680 is available only on MSM platform.

Firmware can be found here:
