wifi: rtw88: dump firmware debug information in abnormal state

Sometimes firmware may enter strange state or infinite
loop due to unknown bug, and then it will lead critical
function fail, such as sending H2C command or changing
power mode. In these abnormal states, we add more debug
information, including hardware register status, to help
further investigation.

wifi: rtw88: Fix action frame transmission fail before association

For combo chips, antennas were controlled by bluetooth only during
power on. If WiFi wish to do transmission, notification to the coexistence
module are required. Previously we only do this before authentication.
To allow transmission before auth, such as management TX, now we start
the initiation of coexistence earlier so antennas are shared between
WiFi and bluetooth after set_channel(), and frames could then be sent.

wifi: rtw88: correct PS calculation for SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS

This driver relies on IEEE80211_CONF_PS of hw->conf.flags to turn off PS or
turn on dynamic PS controlled by driver and firmware. Though this would be
incorrect, it did work before because the flag is always recalculated until
the commit 28977e790b5d ("wifi: mac80211: skip powersave recalc if driver SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS")
is introduced by kernel 5.20 to skip to recalculate IEEE80211_CONF_PS
of hw->conf.flags if driver sets SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS.

Correct this by doing recalculation while BSS_CHANGED_PS is changed and
interface is added or removed. It is allowed to enter PS only if single
one station vif is working. Without this fix, driver doesn't enter PS
anymore that causes higher power consumption.

wifi: rtw88: use RTW_FLAG_POWERON flag to prevent to power on/off twice

Use power state to decide whether we can enter or leave IPS accurately,
and then prevent to power on/off twice.

The commit 6bf3a083407b ("wifi: rtw88: add flag check before enter or leave IPS")
would like to prevent this as well, but it still can't entirely handle all
cases. The exception is that WiFi gets connected and does suspend/resume,
it will power on twice and cause it failed to power on after resuming,
like:

rtw_8723de 0000:03:00.0: failed to poll offset=0x6 mask=0x2 value=0x2
rtw_8723de 0000:03:00.0: mac power on failed
rtw_8723de 0000:03:00.0: failed to power on mac
rtw_8723de 0000:03:00.0: leave idle state failed
rtw_8723de 0000:03:00.0: failed to leave ips state
rtw_8723de 0000:03:00.0: failed to leave idle state
rtw_8723de 0000:03:00.0: failed to send h2c command

To fix this, introduce new flag RTW_FLAG_POWERON to reflect power state,
and call rtw_mac_pre_system_cfg() to configure registers properly between
power-off/-on.

wifi: rtw88: iterate over vif/sta list non-atomically

The driver uses ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic()
and ieee80211_iterate_stations_atomic() in several places and does
register accesses in the iterators. This doesn't cope with upcoming
USB support as registers can only be accessed non-atomically.

Split these into a two stage process: First use the atomic iterator
functions to collect all active interfaces or stations on a list, then
iterate over the list non-atomically and call the iterator on each
entry.

rtw88: sync the power state between driver and firmware

In current flow, driver issues power requests to firmware for entering or
leaving deep power mode. But driver does not wait for an ack from firmware
via reading CPWM register when driver requests to enter deep power mode.
The behavior will lead to unsynchronized state between firmware and driver.
Furthermore, consecutive same power requests may confuse firmware and leads
to unexpected value of CPWM register. This patch ensures that the power
request will wait for an ack from firmware and only send one power request
each time.

rtw88: use shorter delay time to poll PS state

When TX packet arrives, driver should leave deep PS state to make
sure the DMA is working. After requested to leave deep PS state,
driver needs to poll the PS state to check if the mode has been
changed successfully. The driver used to check the state of the
hardware every 20 msecs, which means upon the first failure of
state check, the CPU is delayed 20 msecs for next check. This is
harmful for some time-sensitive applications such as media players.

So, use shorter delay time each check from 20 msecs to 100 usecs.
The state should be changed in several tries. But we still need
to reserve ~15 msecs in total in case of the state just took too
long to be changed successfully. If the states of driver and the
hardware is not synchronized, the power state could be locked
forever, which mean we could never enter/leave the PS state.

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: check firmware leave lps successfully

Driver needs to wait for firmware to restore hardware setting
to active mode after leaving lps.

After getting H2C from driver for leaving lps, firmware will
issue null packet without PS bit to inform AP driver is active,
and then restore REG_TCR Register if AP has receiced null packet.

But the transmission of null packet may cost much more time
in noisy environment. If driver does not wait for firmware,
null packet with PS bit could be sent due to incorrect REG_TCR setting.
And AP will be confused.

In our test, 100ms is enough for firmware to send null packet
to AP. If REG_TCR Register is still wrong after 100ms, we will
modify it directly, force the PS bit to be cleared

rtw88: add deep power save support

Deep power save allows firmware/hardware to operate in a
lower power state. And the deep power save mode depends on
LPS mode. So, before entering deep PS, driver must first
enter LPS mode.

Under Deep PS, most of hardware functions are shutdown,
driver will not be able to read/write registers and transfer
data to the device. Hence TX path must be protected by each
interface. Take PCI for example, DMA engine should be idle,
and no nore activities on the PCI bus.

If driver wants to operate on the device, such as register
read/write, it must first acquire the mutex lock and wake
up from Deep PS, otherwise the behavior is undefined.

rtw88: not to control LPS by each vif

The original design of LPS enter/leave routines allows
to control the LPS state by each interface. But the
hardware cannot actually handle it that way. This means
the hardware can only enter LPS once with an associated
port, so there is no need to keep tracking the state of
each vif.

Hence the logic of enter/leave LPS state can be simple,
just to check the state of the device's flag. And for
leaving LPS state, it will get the same port id to send
to inform the hardware.

But it could have a little side-effect that if the driver is having

and decide to leave PS, the thoughput will be lower. Once traffic is
detected by watch_dog and left PS state, the throughput will resume

rtw88: add BT co-existence support

Both RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE are WiFi + BT combo chips. Since
WiFi and BT use 2.4GHz to transmit, it is important to
make sure they run concurrently without interfering each
other. To achieve this, WiFi driver requires a mechanism
to collaborate with BT, whether they share the antenna(s)
or not.

The final decision made by the co-existence mechanism is
to choose a proper strategy, or called "tdma/table", and
inform either firmware or hardware of the strategy.
To choose a strategy, co-existence mechanism needs to
have enough information from WiFi and BT.

BT information is provided through firmware C2H.
The contents describe the current status of BT, such as
if BT is connected or is idle, or the profile that is
being used.

WiFi information can be provided by WiFi itself. The WiFi
driver will call various of "notify" functions each time
the state of WiFi changed, such as WiFi is going to switch
channel or is connected. Also WiFi driver can know if it
shares antenna with BT by reading efuse content. Antenna
configuration of the module will finally get a different
strategy.

Upon receiving any information from WiFi or BT, the WiFi
driver will run the co-existence mechanism immediately.
It will set the RF antenna configuration according to the
strategy through the TDMA H2C to firmware and a hardware
table. Based on the tdma/table, WiFi + BT should work with
each other, and having a better user experience.

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:
