8822C devices have power trim, thermal and PA bias values
programmed in efuse. Driver should configure the RF components
according to the values.
If the power trim is not configured, then the devices might have
distortion on the output tx power.

According to some experiments, the original RF register protection
setting of 8822c cannot perfectly make sure that there is no hardware
PI write (direct) during direct write. Modify the setting so that the
hardware block of PI would be turned off via rtw8822c_rstb_3wire()
during the direct write, to avoid RF register racing.
Note that 8822b uses SIPI write (indirect), so 8822b does not
have such problem.

This commit adds several Tx/Rx physical information to phy_info
debugfs for 8822B/8822C. By this debugfs, we can know physical
information, such as Tx/Rx rate, RSSI, EVM,SNR, etc. The
information is gotten from the packets of Tx/Rx path. It has
no impact for the performance of 8822B/8822C.
In the fields, we may meet different kinds of problems, but
we may have no professional instrument to check them. At
this moment, this debugfs is a good tool, and it may provide
useful information for debug.

Power amplifiers are not linear components, and require DPK to
reduce its nonlinearity. DPK is called Digital Pre-distortion
Calibration, can be used to compensate the output of power.
DPK tracking is in charge of tracking the thermal changes. And
it then shifts the power curve accordingly, which makes the
power output remains linear even if the PA works in different
temperature.
To perform DPK, the parameter table should also be updated.
And the table will be applied when device is powered on.
Then DPK will reference the values to calibrate.

Add support for doing IQK in firmware
Ideally the RF component's I/Q vectors should be orthogonal,
but usually they are not. So we need to calibrate for the RF
components, ex. PA/LNA, ADC/DAC.
And if the I/Q vectors are more orthogonal, the mixed signal
will have less deviation. This helps with those rates with
higher modulation (MCS8-9), because they have more strict
EVM/SNR requirement. Also the better of the quality of the
signal, the longer it can propagate, and the better throughput
performance we can get.

DACK is done right after the hardware has been turned on, which
means it will be done every time we leave the IDLE state.
But it takes ~2 seconds to finish DACK.
We can back up the results and restore them. And it only takes a few
milliseconds to restore the results to the hardware, saving a lot of
time.

8822c used to count OFDM FA count by subtracting tx count from FA count.
But it need to substract more counters to be accurate.
However, we can count it by adding up all of the FA counters we want.
And it is simpler to add than list all of the components to substract.

Driver Could fail to reset counter if rx clock gating is not disabled.
So we need to disable rx clock gating before resetting counters.
Otherwise counters may increase unexpected.

In 2G channels, the cck source and rxagc should be set to different
values based on different bandwidth to increase the performance of rx
sensitivity.
To improve rx throughput performance, the values of sbd subtune and
pt_opt should be changed in different bandwidth.

This is a new mac80211 driver for Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips.
rtw88 now supports RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE now, with basic station mode
functionalities. The firmware for both can be found at linux-firmware.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
For RTL8822BE: rtw88/rtw8822b_fw.bin
For RTL8822CE: rtw88/rtw8822c_fw.bin
And for now, only PCI buses (RTL8xxxE) are supported. We will add support
for USB and SDIO in the future. The bus interface abstraction can be seen
in this driver such as hci.h. Most of the hardware setting are the same
except for some TRX path or probing setup should be separated.
Supported:
* Basic STA/AP/ADHOC mode, and TDLS (STA is well tested)
Missing feature:
* WOW/PNO
* USB & SDIO bus (such as RTL8xxxU/RTL8xxxS)
* BT coexistence (8822B/8822C are combo ICs)
* Multiple interfaces (for now single STA is better supported)
* Dynamic hardware calibrations (to improve/stabilize performance)
Potential problems:
* static calibration spends too much time, and it is painful for
driver to leave IDLE state. And slows down associate process.
But reload function are under development, will be added soon!
* TRX statictics misleading, as we are not reporting status correctly,
or say, not reporting for "every" packet.
The next patch set should have BT coexistence code since RTL8822B/C are
combo ICs, and the driver for BT can be found after Linux Kernel v4.20.
So it is better to add it first to make WiFi + BT work concurrently.
Although now rtw88 is simple but we are developing more features for it.
Even we want to add support for more chips such as RTL8821C/RTL8814B.
Finally, rtw88 has many authors, listed alphabetically:
