Both firmwares (main and 10.x) have different set of vdev
parameters. To stay in sync with FW API, this patch introduces
a dynamic registering method.
ath10k_wmi_vdev_set_param() takes now indirect u32 value
to identify the Vdev parameter it want's to set.

Due to API differences in initialization structures for
main and 10.x firmwares we need to split the wmi_init_cmd
and wmi_resource_config structures.
This will be usefull also when setting the correct TARGET values,

This is still the only way to submit mgmt frames in case
of 10.X firmware.
This patch introduces wmi_mgmt_tx queue, because of the
fact WMI command can block. This is a problem for
ath10k_tx_htt(), since it's called from atomic context.
The skb queue and worker are introduced to move the mgmt
frame handling out of .tx callback context and not block.

10.X firmware can request a memory pool from host to offload
it's own resources. This is a feature designed especially
for AP mode where the target has to deal with large number
of peers.
So we allocate and map a consistent DMA memory which FW can
use to store e.g. peer rate contol maps.

This is the initial framework to implement dynamic
WMI API in order to support new firmware (from so
called 10.X branch)
The realization is to have a static WMI cmd map for
each of the firmwares, registered upom wmi init.
This patch creates such map for MAIN FW, updates
wmi_cmd_send() calls to take as a parameter
the map value instead of direct WMI enum.
As soon as complete 10.X API will be on place,
we will introduce the FW IE mechanics to dynamicaly
identify which FW is being used and based on that
we will use correct map, API, structures, etc.

Ethernet-like decapping mode leaves IP protocol
frame not aligned to 4-byte boundaries. This leads
to re-aligning in mac80211 which in turn leads to
poor CPU cache behaviour on some machines.
Since HW doesn't allow to change payload offset
properly the solution is to force HW to decap in
Native Wifi mode which always has 24-bytes long
802.11 header (even for QoS frames). This means IP
frame is properly aligned in this decap mode.

HW reports each A-MSDU subframe as a separate
