Subject: [PATCH] ath11k: use MHI provided APIs to allocate and free MHI controller

Use MHI provided APIs to allocate and free MHI controller to
improve MHI host driver handling. This also fixes a memory leak
as the MHI controller was allocated but never freed.

Main reason is we want to ensure the MHI controller is zero-initialized
and
we want to mandate it as it is better to have it under our control in
case
we also want to allocate and track peripheral data/memory related to the
MHI
controller.

This one should be dependent on the patch [1] which exists on mainline
and
should already part of your tree if you're on any 5.10 RC.
