wifi: rtw89: refine remain on channel flow to improve P2P connection

We add a scanning check to avoid entering IPS after ROC (remain on
channel) during scanning. Additionally, When P2P scanning, the flow is
`1. p2p_listen step` and `2. configure filter` and `3. p2p_scan starts`
in wpas, but in kernel, cfg80211 uses another workqueue to notify driver
the filter change, so sometimes we see (1 > 3 > 2), that will cause Rx
filter related to scan to be cleared. Therefore, we add a scanning check
when configure filter to avoid scan results to be filtered. Finally, we
cancel the ROC delayed workqueue before entering ROC to avoid entering
twice, which might cause leaving ROC too early.

wifi: rtw89: provide functions to configure NoA for beacon update

Callers call renew function when wanting to generate a new P2P NoA
information element, and call append function to append NoA attribute
one by one. Then, updating beacon work will fetch the P2P NoA information
element configured by callers and add it to beacon.

The use case of MCC (multi-channel concurrent) <GO + STA> for example:
* start MCC - GO part
renew P2P NoA
append period NoA after calculation
* download beacon for GO
fetch P2P NoA and add to beacon content
* stop MCC - GO part
renew P2P NoA (reset)

wifi: rtw89: 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. For now, it is allowed to enter PS only if
single one station vif is working, and it could possible to have PS per
vif after firmware can support it. Without this fix, driver doesn't
enter PS anymore that causes higher power consumption.

wifi: rtw89: fix power save function in WoWLAN mode

In WoWLAN Mode, it's expected that WiFi chip could enter power save mode
only after all setting is finished, but current wow_enter_lps function
break the rule and may lead to WoWLAN function fail in low probability,
so fix it.

wifi: rtw89: add ieee80211::remain_on_channel ops

Add support of remain on channel ops. Since channel context is
required to enable multi-channel concurrent(MCC) and the current
ROC in mac80211 don't support more than 1 channel context, add this
to let P2P and other protocols relying on this work as expected.
The off-channel duration and cancel timing is purely controlled by
upper layers.

wifi: rtw89: add WoWLAN function support

WoWLAN is a feature which allows devices to be woken up from suspend
state through WLAN events.

When user enables WoWLAN feature and then let the device enter suspend
state, WoWLAN firmware will be loaded by the driver and periodically
monitors WiFi packets. Power consumption of WiFi chip will be reduced
in this state.

We now implement WoWLAN function in rtw8852ae and rtw8852ce chip.
Currently supported WLAN events include receiving magic packet,
rekey packet and deauth packet, and disconnecting from AP.

wifi: rtw89: support for processing P2P power saving

Support P2P client to process Notice of Absence (NoA) mechanism when it
connects with P2P GO applying an NoA schedule. We define some action
types including init, update, remove and terminate in h2c function to
enable/disable NoA schedule.

deep PS for now.

rtw89: add Realtek 802.11ax driver

This driver named rtw89, which is the next generation of rtw88, supports
Realtek 8852AE 802.11ax 2x2 chip whose new features are OFDMA, DBCC,
Spatial reuse, TWT and BSS coloring; now some of them aren't implemented
though.

The chip architecture is entirely different from the chips supported by
rtw88 like RTL8822CE 802.11ac chip. First of all, register address ranges
are totally redefined, so it's impossible to reuse register definition. To
communicate with firmware, new H2C/C2H format is proposed. In order to have
better utilization, TX DMA flow is changed to two stages DMA. To provide
rich RX status information, additional RX PPDU packets are added.

Since there are so many differences mentioned above, we decide to propose
a new driver. It has many authors, they are listed in alphabetic order:
