Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ath11k: add dbring debug support

Target copies spectral report and CFR report through dbring to
host for further processing. This mechanism involves ring and
buffer management in the Host, FW, and uCode, where improper
tail pointer update issues are seen.

This dbring debug support help to debug such issues by tracking
head and tail pointer movement along with the timestamp at which
each buffer is received and replenished.

Usage:

echo <module_id> <val> > /sys/kernel/debug/ath11k/ipq8074_2/
mac0/enable_dbr_debug

module_id: 0 for spectral and 1 for CFR
val: 0 - disable, 1 - enable.

Tested-on: IPQ8074 WLAN.HK.2.4.0.1-01467-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ath11k: add spectral/CFR buffer validation support

Currently there is no validation on the spectral/CFR report
over the db ring buffers from the hardware. Improper/incomplete
DMA by the target can result in invalid data received by host.
Due to this we may populate incorrect data to user space.

This buffer validation support fix this issues by filling some
magic value in the buffer during buffer replenish and check for
the magic value in the buffer received by the target. If host
detect magic value in the received buffer it will drop the buffer.

Tested-on: IPQ8074 WLAN.HK.2.4.0.1-01467-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

I think this would look a lot nicer column aligned along the | boundaries

len += scnprintf(buf + len, size - len, "--------------------------------------------------------\n");
len += scnprintf(buf + len, size - len, "| idx | hp | tp | timestamp | event |\n");
len += scnprintf(buf + len, size - len, "--------------------------------------------------------\n");

spin_lock_bh(&db_ring_debug->lock);

for (i = 0; i < db_ring_debug->num_ring_debug_entries; i++) {
len += scnprintf(buf + len, size - len,
"| %4u | %8u | %8u | %11llu | %-9s |\n", i,
db_ring_debug->entries[i].hp,
db_ring_debug->entries[i].tp,
db_ring_debug->entries[i].timestamp,
event_id_to_string[db_ring_debug->entries[i].event]);
