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.

Instead of allocating sk_buff for a mere 16-byte
tx fragment list buffer use headroom of the
original msdu sk_buff.
This decreases CPU cache pressure and improves
performance.
Measured improvement on AP135 is 560mbps ->
590mbps of UDP TX briding traffic.

Until now the all MSDU transfer related structures
were freed when all resources were unreferenced.
Now HTC transfer is freed independently and HTT
transfer is so too.
This yields a way more simpler ath10k_skb_cb and
should possibly enable parallel pipe processing
(which is now serialized in
ath10k_pci_process_ce routine).

The patch prevents beacon misses in some case of

If a beacon can't be transmitted directly from an

This will be necessary for further changes in
command submission scheme.
Once HTC is cleaned up WMI commands will finally
block.
This requires for SWBA to be processed in a
non-atomic context for now. Once other necessary
changes are in this will be reverted.

ath10k doesn't support qca988x hw1.0 boards anymore. Unfortunately
the PCI id is the same in hw1.0 and hw2.0 so ath10k tries to use
hw1.0 boards anyway. But without hw1.0 workarounds in place
ath10k just crashes horribly.
To avoid using hw1.0 boards at all add a chip id detection
and fail the probe if hw1.0 is detected:
[ 5265.786408] ath10k: ERROR: qca988x hw1.0 is not supported
[ 5265.786497] ath10k: Unsupported chip id 0x043200ff
[ 5265.786574] ath10k: could not register driver core (-95)
[ 5265.793191] ath10k_pci: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -95
Also add a warning if there's an unknown chip id but continue
the boot process normally anyway.

The mgmt_rx event structure has been expanded.
Since the structure header is expanded the payload
(i.e. mgmt frame) is shifted by a few bytes. This
needs to be taken into account in order to support
both old and new firmware.
This introduces a fw_features to keep track of any
FW-related ABI/behaviour changes.

Restart the hardware if FW crashes.
If FW crashes during recovery we leave the
hardware in a "wedged" state to avoid recursive
recoveries.
When in "wedged" state userspace may bring
interfaces down (to issue stop()) and then bring
one interface (to issue start()) to reload
hardware manually.

Split up fw-related and hw-related suspension code.
Although we don't advertise WoW support to
mac80211 yet it's useful to keep the code in
suspend/resume hooks.
At this point there's no need to keep pci pm ops.
In case of WoW mac80211 calls ath10k_suspend()
which should take care of entering low-power mode.
In case WoW is not available mac80211 will go
through regular interface teradown and use start/stop.

Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.
The wiki page for the driver is:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k
The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:
