Subject: [PATCH v2 00/24] rtw88: major fixes for 8822c to have stable functionalities

Note this patch set is based on patch set "rtw88: mac80211 driver for
Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips". For reference:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10811967/
https://lkml.kernel.org/linux-wireless/1550131671-2601-1-git-send-email-yhchuang@realtek.com/

These patches are mean to make sure 8822c chip to operate normal for most
of the basic functionalities, such as power on, switch channel, scan,
connection establish and connection monitor.

As the original patch set was sent 3 months ago, progress has been made
by Realtek during the past months. Now we have tested on more chips and
released tables and parameters for them. Also the chips are all
programed with efuse map released for 8822c.

Most of the changes are about BB and RF, both control the tx/rx path.
PHY parameters/seq and efuse info make sure the hardware is powered on
correctly. And channel setting updates help driver to switch to target
channel accurately. Then trx mode setting and DACK will make hardware to
have stable performance to tx/rx to connect to AP.

Here tx power control is also required to transmit with a precise power.
Otherwise if the power is too high or too low, the peer might not be able
to receive the signal.

Finally, we need to report correct tx status for mac80211's connection
monitor system, this requires firmware's C2H of tx status report. After
this, users can use 8822c chips for more stable wireless communication.


v2

This v2 is sent for that https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10811967/
has many modifications and the original patch set would not apply.
Also with a few changes in this one. Listed below

 - report ACK for tx frames not have IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS,
   otherwise they will be marked as "drop"
 - add more rf register write protection for patch "rtw88: add a delay
   after writing a rf register"
