In preparation for unconditionally passing the
struct tasklet_struct pointer to all tasklet
callbacks, switch to using the new tasklet_setup()
and from_tasklet() to pass the tasklet pointer explicitly
and remove .data field.

Previous settings for TX descriptors of and reserved page packets
are insufficient.
For the sequence number of packets downloaded to reserved page, it
should be filled by hardware.
And for ps-poll packets in reserved page, to prevent AID being
changed by hardware, NAVUSEHDR should be set.
Additionally, the rate should be adjusted based on the current band
for mgmt and reserved page packets.

TX status report of 8723D differs from 8822B/8822C, it uses
C2H_CCX_TX_RPT (0x03) with different format. With sequence number
and TX status, driver can know if certain packet was transmitted
successfully.

In previous setting, management packets' sequence numbers will
not increase and always stay at 0. Add hw sequence number support
for mgmt packets.
The table below shows different sequence number setting in the
tx descriptor.
seq num ctrl | EN_HWSEQ | DISQSELSEL | HW_SSN_SEL
------------------------------------------------------
sw ctrl | 0 | N/A | N/A
hw ctrl per MACID | 1 | 0 | N/A
hw ctrl per HWREG | 1 | 1 |HWREG(0/1/2/3)

Driver used to kick off every TX packets, that will waste some
time while we can do better to kick off the TX packets once after
they are all prepared to be transmitted.
For PCI, it uses DMA engine to transfer the SKBs to the device,
and the transition of the state of the DMA engine could be a cost.
Driver can save some time to kick off multiple SKBs once so that
the DMA engine will have only one transition.
So, split rtw_hci_ops::tx() to rtw_hci_ops::tx_write() and
rtw_hci_ops::tx_kick_off() to explicitly kick the SKBs off after
they are written to the prepared buffer. For packets come from
ieee80211_ops::tx(), write one and then kick it off immediately.
For packets queued in TX queue, which come from
ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue(), we can dequeue them, write them
to the buffer, and then kick them off together.

Extract skb allocation routines for rsvd_page and h2c.
These routines should also be used by USB and SDIO.
This should not change the logic at all.
memset() for pkt_info is unnecessary, just declare as {0}.
Also skb_put()/memcpy() can be replaced by skb_put_data().

The mac80211 provides software TX queue for driver, as long as
driver has hooked ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue. Each time a
packet is queued onto the TX queue, that queue will be woken
up the inform driver to serve the queue.
Now driver only supports PCI interface ICs, there's no specific
traffic control for each queue, just schedule a tasklet, and
dump all of the packets at once to the DMA ring. Instead of TX
the packets whenever TX queue is woke, tasklet handler can have
more packets dumped to the device, takes advantage of burst
write with DMA engine.
And if the driver is going to support USB/SDIO ICs, the tasklet
can be more flexible for aggregating the packets, enhance the
efficiency of bandwidth usage.

Allows driver to send RTS by filling tx descriptor.
The user may want to set the rts threshold. But since we have not
been taking over rate control from mac80211 to driver by setting flag
IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL, there is nothing we can do about it.
So here just store the value, and mac80211 will tell us to use rts
protection by ieee80211_tx_info::control::use_rts.

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:
