wifi: mac80211: simplify non-chanctx drivers

There are still surprisingly many non-chanctx drivers, but in
mac80211 that code is a bit awkward. Simplify this by having
those drivers assign 'emulated' ops, so that the mac80211 code
can be more unified between non-chanctx/chanctx drivers. This
cuts the number of places caring about it by about 15, which
are scattered across - now they're fewer and no longer in the
channel context handling.

wifi: plfxlc: Drop unused include

The driver includes the legacy GPIO header <linux/gpio.h>
but does not use any symbols from it. Drop the include.

wifi: plfxlc: fix clang-specific fortify warning

When compiling with clang 16.0.6 and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y, I've
noticed the following (somewhat confusing due to absence of an actual
source code location):

declared with 'warning' attribute: detected read beyond size of field (2nd
parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
__read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);

The compiler actually complains on 'plfxlc_get_et_strings()' where
fortification logic inteprets call to 'memcpy()' as an attempt to copy
the whole 'et_strings' array from its first member and so issues an
overread warning. This warning may be silenced by passing an address
of the whole array and not the first member to 'memcpy()'.

wifi: mac80211: add wake_tx_queue callback to drivers

mac80211 is fully switching over to the internal TX queue (iTXQ)
implementation. Update all drivers not yet providing the now mandatory
wake_tx_queue() callback.

As an side effect the netdev interfaces of all updated drivers will
switch to the noqueue qdisc.

wifi: mac80211: split bss_info_changed method

Split the bss_info_changed method to vif_cfg_changed and
link_info_changed, with the latter getting a link ID.
Also change the 'changed' parameter to u64 already, we
know we need that.

wireless: add plfxlc driver for pureLiFi X, XL, XC devices

This is a driver for pureLiFi X, XL, XC devices which use light to transmit
data, so they are not compatible with normal Wi-Fi devices. The driver uses
separate NL80211_BAND_LC band to distinguish from Wi-Fi. The driver is based
on 802.11 softMAC Architecture and uses native 802.11 for configuration and
management. Station and Ad-Hoc modes are supported.

The driver is compiled and tested in ARM, x86 architectures and compiled in
powerpc architecture. This driver implementation has been based on the zd1211rw
driver.
