Currently, loading the firmware fails when it has higher API or CAPA
bits than the driver supports. That's an issue with integration.
At the same time, actually using api[0] and capa[0] will become
confusing when we also have api[1] and capa[1], and it's almost
certain that we'll mix up the bits and use the bits for api[1] with
api[0] by accident.
Avoid all this by translating the API/CAPA bits to the regular kernel
test_bit() format, and also providing wrapper functions. Also use the
__bitwise__ facility of sparse to check that we're testing the right
one.

Most of the time, the issues we want to debug with the
firmware dump mechanism are transient. It is then very
hard to stop the recording on time and get meaningful
data.
In order to solve this, I add here an infrastucture
of triggers. The user will supply a list of triggers
that will start / stop the recording. We have two types
of triggers: start and stop. Start triggers can start a
specific configuration. The stop triggers will be able to
kick the collection of the data with the currently running
configuration. These triggers are given to the driver by
the .ucode file - just like the configuration.
In the next patches, I'll add triggers in the code.

The scheduler is a HW sub-block that directs the work of the Flow
Handler by issuing requests for frame transfers, specifying source
and destination. Its primary function is to allocate flows into the
TX FIFOs based upon a pre-determined mapping.
The driver has some responsibilities to the scheduler, namely
initialising and maintaining the hardware registers. This is
currently done by directly accessing them, which can cause races
with the firmware also accessing the registers.
To address this problem, change the driver to no longer directly
access the registers but go through the firmware for this if the
firmware has support for DQA and thus the new command.

This patch enables Energy Based Scan (EBS) - intended to detect energy
on 5 GHz band channels. Passive scan on this band takes up to 2.64 sec
assuming 110mSec per-channel * 24 channels. EBS is designed to detect
energy on channels with intensive Wifi activity as well as those where
only beacons are transmitted. EBS completes sampling all channels within
shortest beacon frame transmission time. Total EBS duration is about 100
msec (typical beacon interval).
Detecting Wifi activity on 5 GHz band channels can significantly reduce
scan duration thus saving time and power. EBS failure reported by FW
disables EBS for current connection. It is re-enabled upon new
connection attempt on any WLAN interface.

Today, the driver logic looks for the conditions to disable
power management albeit power management should be enabled
in a very few distinct cases.
This patch changes the driver logic to enable power
management once the required conditions met.
While at it, make some housekeeping and support a few
additional use cases:
a) Add support for a standalone p2p client:
Power management should be enabled for a P2P client
MAC only if the firmware supports it (TLV flag is set).
Instead we used the DCM flag, therefore we didn't cover
use cases that did not include the DCM flag.
b) Add support to Same-Channel-Mode (SCM):
If both clients share the same channel (SCM), and there
are no other active vifs in the system, power management
should be enabled only if the firmware supports this
(TLV flag is set).
c) Fix power management logic for GO/AP:
Today, when we detect an active GO / AP MAC - we disable
power management for all the vifs altogether.
Actually, the correct behavior is to enable power
management on a client if on a different channel
(based on the firmware capabilities).
d) Housekeeping - Along with that, this patch includes some
code-reorganizing: Today the logic of disabling power is
scattered across several functions, specifically in the
iterator. For the sake of both readability and
scalability, we moved this logic to its applicable
function, leaving the iterator gather information only.
Furthermore, as power management is a MAC-related
attribute, we moved the power management member to the
iwl_mvm_vif structure.
