Vladimir Kondratiev 83982cbe2b wil6210: interrupt moderation
Use hardware capabilities to limit IRQ generation to about 15 per msec
It corresponds to about 7 packets/IRQ when running iperf with default
parameters at 1.3Gbps

Do not enable this feature in the sniffer (monitor)  mode, because
interrupt moderation cause timestamp accuracy deterioration.
For the sniffer flow, it is important to get precise timestamp.

Vladimir Kondratiev e0287c4ab8 wil6210: use NAPI
Introduce NAPI for Rx and Tx completion.

This fixes packet reordering that happens when Rx handled right in
the IRQ: netif_rx puts packet in 'percpu' queue, then network stack
fetches packets from 'percpu' queues for processing, with different
pattern of queue switching. As result, network stack see packets
in different order. This causes hard to understand TCP throughput
degradation in about 30min

Complete polling if only one packet was processed - this eliminates
empty polls that would be otherwise done at the end of each burst

Vladimir Kondratiev 55f7acdd24 wil6210: new SW reset
New firmware allows for shorter SW reset procedure.
After SW reset, FW raises "fw done" IRQ, at this
moment mailbox control structures are initialized, driver caches it.

New status bit wil_status_reset_done introduced to track completion
of the reset. It is set by "fw ready" irq, and required for WMI rx flow
to access control structures.

WMI Tx flow protected by other status bit, wil_status_fwready. It can't
be set before wil_status_reset_done is set by design.

Vladimir Kondratiev de70ab87b1 wil6210: fix FW error notification
user space get notified through kobject_uevent_env(), that might sleep and thus
should run in thread context.

Move user space notification to the thread handler, while mark FW is non-functional
right in the hard IRQ.

Vladimir Kondratiev 7269494e12 wil6210: Detect FW error
In the firmware, added is ability to report internal errors using IRQ.

Catch this IRQ and notify user space via netlink

User space get notified like (udevadm monitor --kernel --property):

Vladimir Kondratiev 2be7d22f06 wireless: add new wil6210 802.11ad 60GHz driver
This adds support for the 60 GHz 802.11ad Wilocity card
through a new driver, wil6210. Wilocity implemented the
firmware, QCA maintains the device driver.

Currently supported:

- STA: with security
- AP: limited to 1 connected STA, security disabled
- Monitor: due to a hardware/firmware limitation
  either control or non-control frames are monitored

Using a STA and AP with this drive, one can assemble
a fully functional BSS. Throughput of 1.2Gbps is achieved
with iperf.

The wil6210 cards have on-board flash memory for the
firmware, the cards comes pre-flashed and no firmware
download is required.
