wifi: wilc1000: use SRCU instead of RCU for vif list traversal

Enabling CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST raises many warnings in wilc driver, even on
some places already protected by a read critical section. An example of
such case is in wilc_get_available_idx:

=============================

This warning is due to the section being protected by a srcu critical read
section, but the list traversal being done with classic RCU API. Fix the
warning by using corresponding SRCU read lock/unlock APIs. While doing so,
since we always manipulate the same list (managed through a pointer
embedded in struct_wilc), add a macro to reduce the corresponding
boilerplate in each call site.

wifi: wilc1000: validate chip id during bus probe

Previously, the driver created a net device (typically wlan0) as soon
as the module was loaded. This commit changes the driver to follow
normal Linux convention of creating the net device only when bus
probing detects a supported chip.

wifi: wilc1000: fix incorrect power down sequence

Use the correct register configuration when the WILC chip is down so the
successive interface up operation is successful. The modified registers
values during chip down helps to avoid the "FW not responding" debug
message which sometimes occurs because of temporary bus communication
failure during the next start. Also, make sure on first communication with
the chip that it is indeed woken up.

wifi: wilc1000: use vmm_table as array in wilc struct

Enabling KASAN and running some iperf tests raises some memory issues with
vmm_table:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in wilc_wlan_handle_txq+0x6ac/0xdb4
Write of size 4 at addr c3a61540 by task wlan0-tx/95

KASAN detects that we are writing data beyond range allocated to vmm_table.
There is indeed a mismatch between the size passed to allocator in
wilc_wlan_init, and the range of possible indexes used later: allocation
size is missing a multiplication by sizeof(u32)

wilc1000: Add reset/enable GPIO support to SPI driver

For the SDIO driver, the RESET/ENABLE pins of WILC1000 are controlled
through the SDIO power sequence driver. This commit adds analogous
support for the SPI driver. Specifically, during initialization, the
chip will be ENABLEd and taken out of RESET and during
deinitialization, the chip will be placed back into RESET and disabled
(both to reduce power consumption and to ensure the WiFi radio is
off).

Both RESET and ENABLE GPIOs are optional. However, if the ENABLE GPIO
is specified, then the RESET GPIO should normally also be specified as
otherwise there is no way to ensure proper timing of the ENABLE/RESET
sequence.

wilc1000: Improve WILC TX performance when power_save is off

The wakeup and sleep commands need to be sent to the WILC chip only
when it is in power save mode (PSM, as controlled by "iw dev wlan0 set
power_save on/off"). The commands are relatively costly, so it pays
to skip them when possible.

TX 0.00-120.01 sec 140 MBytes 9.82 Mbits/sec
RX 0.00-120.69 sec 283 MBytes 19.6 Mbits/sec

with this patch applied:

PSM off (TX is 46% improved, RX slightly improved; may not be significant):
TX 0.00-120.00 sec 206 MBytes 14.4 Mbits/sec

wilc1000: Fix spurious "FW not responding" error

When deinitializing the driver, one or more "FW not responding" error
appears on the console. This appears to be due to wilc_wlan_stop()
disabling host/WILC1000 communication, but then right afterwards, it
tries to release the bus with chip-sleep enabled. The problem is
enabling the chip-sleep cannot success once host/WILC1000
communication is disabled. Fix by only releasing the bus.

wilc1000: configure registers to handle chip wakeup sequence

Use the correct sequence to configure clockless registers for chip wake-up.
The following sequence is expected from WILC chip for wakeup:
- set wakeup bit in wakeup_reg register
- after setting the wakeup bit, read back the clock status bit for wakeup
complete.

For SDIO/SPI modules, the wakeup sequence is the same except uses different
register values so refactored the code to use common function for both
SDIO/SPI bus.

wilc1000: Fix use of void pointer as a wrong struct type

ac_classify() expects a struct sk_buff* as its second argument, which is
a member of struct tx_complete_data. priv happens to be a pointer to
struct tx_complete_data, so passing it directly to ac_classify() leads
to wrong behaviour and occasional panics.

Since there is only one caller of wilc_wlan_txq_add_net_pkt and it
already knows the type behind this pointer, and the structure is already
in the header file, change the function signature to use the real type
instead of void* in order to prevent confusion.

WILC1000 connects to Microchip AVR/SMART MCUs, SMART MPUs, and other
processors with minimal resource requirements with a simple
SPI/SDIO-to-Wi-Fi interface.

WILC1000 driver has been part of staging for few years. With
contributions from the community, it has improved significantly. Full
driver review has helped in achieving the current state.
The details for those reviews are captured in 1 & 2.
