rtw88: Disable PCIe ASPM while doing NAPI poll on 8821CE

Many Intel based platforms face system random freeze after commit
9e2fd29864c5 ("rtw88: add napi support").

The commit itself shouldn't be the culprit. My guess is that the 8821CE
only leaves ASPM L1 for a short period when IRQ is raised. Since IRQ is
masked during NAPI polling, the PCIe link stays at L1 and makes RX DMA
extremely slow. Eventually the RX ring becomes messed up:
[ 1133.194697] rtw_8821ce 0000:02:00.0: pci bus timeout, check dma status

Since the 8821CE hardware may fail to leave ASPM L1, manually do it in
the driver to resolve the issue.

rtw88: 8822ce: set CLKREQ# signal to low during suspend

We find the power sequence of system suspend flow don't meet
the criteria when using 8822CE-VR chip by rfe-type 6, because the
reference clock form host is sometimes late. To avoid the behavoir,
we keep CLKREQ# signal to low during suspend to make sure the reference
clock arrival in time.

rtw88: refine napi deinit flow

We used to stop napi before disabling irqs. And it turns out
to cause some problem when we try to stop device while interrupt arrives.

To safely stop pci, we do three steps:
1. disable interrupt
2. synchronize_irq
3. stop_napi
Since step 2 and 3 may not finish as expected when interrupt is enabled,
use rtwpci->running to decide whether interrupt should be re-enabled at
the time.

rtw88: add napi support

Use napi to reduce overhead on rx interrupts.

Driver used to interrupt kernel for every Rx packet, this could
affect both system and network performance. NAPI is a mechanism that
uses polling when processing huge amount of traffic, by doing this
the number of interrupts can be decreased.

Network performance can also benefit from this patch. Since TCP
connection is bidirectional and acks are required for every several
packets. These ack packets occupie the PCI bus bandwidth and could
lead to performance degradation.

When napi is used, GRO receive is enabled by default in the mac80211
stack. So mac80211 won't pass every RX TCP packets to the kernel TCP
network stack immediately. Instead an aggregated large length TCP packet
will be delivered.

This reduces the tx acks sent and gains rx performance. After the patch,
the Rx throughput increases about 25Mbps in 11ac.

rtw88: fix multiple definition of rtw_pm_ops

'const struct dev_pm_ops rtw_pm_ops' is declared by pci.c, and it should be
declare as 'extern' in pci.h. Without 'extern' causes every file including
pci.h has an individual instance of rtw_pm_ops but not reference to the one
declared in pci.c

If kernel config, like test robot, doesn't build driver as module, it leads

rtw88: kick off TX packets once for higher efficiency

Driver used to kick off every TX packets, that will waste some
time while we can do better to kick off the TX packets once after
they are all prepared to be transmitted.

For PCI, it uses DMA engine to transfer the SKBs to the device,
and the transition of the state of the DMA engine could be a cost.
Driver can save some time to kick off multiple SKBs once so that
the DMA engine will have only one transition.

So, split rtw_hci_ops::tx() to rtw_hci_ops::tx_write() and
rtw_hci_ops::tx_kick_off() to explicitly kick the SKBs off after
they are written to the prepared buffer. For packets come from
ieee80211_ops::tx(), write one and then kick it off immediately.
For packets queued in TX queue, which come from
ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue(), we can dequeue them, write them
to the buffer, and then kick them off together.

rtw88: don't hold all IRQs disabled for PS operations

This driver generally only needs to ensure that
(a) it doesn't try to process TX interrupts at the same time as
power-save operations (and similar)
(b) the device interrupt gets disabled while we're still handling the
last set of interrupts

For (a), all the operations (e.g., PS transitions, packet handling)
happens in non-atomic contexts (e.g., threaded IRQ).

For (b), we only need mutual exclusion for brief sections (i.e., while
we're actually manipulating the interrupt mask/status).

So, we can introduce a separate lock for handling (b), disabling IRQs
while we do it. For (a), we can demote the locking to BH only, now that
(b) (the only steps done in atomic context) and that has its own lock.

This helps reduce the amount of time this driver spends with IRQs off.
Notably, transitioning out of power-save modes can take >3 milliseconds,
and this transition is done under the protection of 'irq_lock'.

rtw88: allows to enable/disable HCI link PS mechanism

Different interfaces have its own link-related power save mechanism.
Such as PCI can enter L1 state based on the traffic on the link, and
sometimes driver needs to enable/disable it to avoid some issues, like
throughput degrade when PCI trying to enter L1 state even if driver is
having heavy traffic.

For now, rtw88 only supports PCIE chips, and they just need to disable
ASPM L1 when driver is not in power save mode, such as IPS and LPS.

rtw88: pci: enable CLKREQ function if host supports it

By Realtek's design, there are two HW modules associated for CLKREQ,
one is responsible to follow the PCIE host settings, and another
is to actually working on it. But the module that is actually working
on it is default disabled, and driver should enable that module if
host and device have successfully sync'ed with each other.

The module is default disabled because sometimes the host does not
support it, and if there is any incorrect settings (ex. CLKREQ# is
not Bi-Direction), device can be lost and disconnected to the host.

So driver should first check after host and device are sync'ed, and
the host does support the function and set it in configuration
space, then driver can turn on the HW module to working on it.

rtw88: new Realtek 802.11ac driver

This is a new mac80211 driver for Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips.
rtw88 now supports RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE now, with basic station mode
functionalities. The firmware for both can be found at linux-firmware.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
For RTL8822BE: rtw88/rtw8822b_fw.bin
For RTL8822CE: rtw88/rtw8822c_fw.bin

And for now, only PCI buses (RTL8xxxE) are supported. We will add support
for USB and SDIO in the future. The bus interface abstraction can be seen
in this driver such as hci.h. Most of the hardware setting are the same
except for some TRX path or probing setup should be separated.

Supported:

* Basic STA/AP/ADHOC mode, and TDLS (STA is well tested)

Missing feature:

* WOW/PNO
* USB & SDIO bus (such as RTL8xxxU/RTL8xxxS)
* BT coexistence (8822B/8822C are combo ICs)
* Multiple interfaces (for now single STA is better supported)
* Dynamic hardware calibrations (to improve/stabilize performance)

Potential problems:

* static calibration spends too much time, and it is painful for
driver to leave IDLE state. And slows down associate process.
But reload function are under development, will be added soon!
* TRX statictics misleading, as we are not reporting status correctly,
or say, not reporting for "every" packet.

The next patch set should have BT coexistence code since RTL8822B/C are
combo ICs, and the driver for BT can be found after Linux Kernel v4.20.
So it is better to add it first to make WiFi + BT work concurrently.

Although now rtw88 is simple but we are developing more features for it.
Even we want to add support for more chips such as RTL8821C/RTL8814B.

Finally, rtw88 has many authors, listed alphabetically:
