Subject: [PATCH v4] ath10k: move mgmt descriptor limit handle under mgmt_tx

Firmware reserves few descriptors for management frames transmission.
In 16 MBSSID scenario, these slots will be easy exhausted due to frequent
probe responses. So for 10.4 based solutions, probe responses are limited
by a threshold (24).

management tx path is separate for all except tlv based solutions. Since
tlv solutions (qca6174 & qca9377) do not support 16 AP interfaces, it is
safe to move management descriptor limitation check under mgmt_tx
function. Though CPU improvement is negligible, unlikely conditions or
never hit conditions in hot path can be avoided on data transmission.

v2:
- rebased on top of Michal changes
v3:
- handle mgmt_inc_pending for htt txmode alone
v4:
- fix is_mgmt condition

frames that are transmitted via MGMT_TX are using reserved descriptor
slots in firmware. So irrespective of frame type, num_pending_mgmt_tx
should count all to limit probe resp. Here mgmt_tx does not mean frame
type but HTT txmode (HTT_H2T_MSG_TYPE_MGMT_TX).

So ATH10K_SKB_F_MGMT check in tx-compl is not needed. is_mgmt = (txpath
== ATH10K_MAC_TX_HTT_MGMT);

Do you see any issues if nullfunc/other data via MGMT_TX are counted.

If firmware handles them the same way it should be okay I guess. I
would do suggest to make the commit log more explicit on this though
(i.e. the limit is for the path itself, not for mgmt frames per se).

Are you sure you want to be counting nullfuncs here in as well (and
possibly other frames that end up, for whatever reason, on htt-mgmt
tx-path?)

Oh, and this looks unbalanced. You increment only when
`ar->hw_params.max_probe_resp_desc_thres` but always decrement.
