In a000 devices we have 15 fifos, so in the shared memory
config the number of tx fifos in the array was changed
accordingly.
As it is in the middle of the struct, the parsing code needs
to be duplicated.
To minimize the duplication, do not save variables we never
actually use.

When sending the SCD_QUEUE_CONFIG command, the queue is
associated to a specific TID. If later there is a need to
use this TID on a different queue instead, it first needs to
be unassociated from the first queue.

and specify that this key should be taken form the key table
instead of from the TX command.

Support DQA queue sharing when no free queue exists for
allocation to a STA that already exists. This means that
a single queue will serve more than a single TID (although
the RA will be the same for all TIDs served).
We try to choose the lowest AC possible, to ensure the
shared queues have the lowest possible combined AC
requirements. The queue to share is chosen only from the
same RA's DATA queues as follows (in descending priority):
1. An AC_BE queue
2. Same AC queue
3. Highest AC queue that is lower than new AC
4. Any existing AC (there always is at least 1 DATA queue)
If any aggregations existed for any of the TIDs of the
shared queue - they are stopped (the FW is notified), but
no delBA is sent.

Support marking queues as inactive upon a timeout expiring,
and allow inactive queues to be re-assigned to other RA/TIDs
if no other queue is free.
This is done by keeping a timestamp of the latest frame TXed
for every RA/TID, and then going over the queues currently in
use when a new queue is needed, inactivating all those that
are inactive.

When a data packet is received, we need to make sure that we stay
awake until it can be processed and wait a while before trying to
enter runtime_suspend os system_suspend again. To do so, add a new
reference type for RX data and take the reference when sending the
packet to mac80211. We only do this for data packets, all the other
RX packets sent by the firmware (e.g. notifications) are not a reason
to prevent suspend.

If a host command was queued while in runtime suspend, it would go out
before the D0I3_END_CMD was sent. Sometimes it works, but sometimes
it fails, and it is obviously the wrong thing to do.
To fix this, have the opmode take a reference before sending a SYNC
command and make the pcie trans wait for the runtime state to become
active before actually queueing the command.

Add a timer in order to release expired frames from the
reorder buffer.
This is needed since some APs do not retransmit frames
to fill in the reorder holes and in TCP it results with
a complete stall of traffic.
This has a few side effects on the general design:
The nssn may not reflect the the head of the reorder buffer.
This situation is valid, and packets with SN lower than the
reorder buffer head will be dropped.
Another side effect is that since the reorder timer might expire
we need to lock the reorder buffer.
This however is fine since the locking is only inside a
single reorder buffer between RX path and reorder timeout and
there is no outside contention.

Next hardware will direct packets to core based on the TCP/UDP
streams.
This logic can create holes in reorder buffer since packets that
belong to other stream were directed to a different core.
However, those are valid holes and the packets can be indicated
in L3 order.
The hardware will utilize a mechanism of informing the driver of
the normalized ssn and the driver shall release all packets that
SN is lower than the nssn.
This enables managing the reorder across the queues without sharing
any data between them.
The reorder buffer is allocated and released directly in the RX path
in order to avoid various races between control path and rx path.
The code utilizes the internal messaging to notify rx queues of when
to delete the reorder buffer.

According to the spec when a BA session is started there
is a timeout set for the session in the ADDBA request.
If there is not activity on the TA/TID then the session
expires and a DELBA is sent.
In order to check for the timeout, data must be shared
among the rx queues.
Add a timer that runs as long as BA session is active
for the station and stops aggregation session if needed.
This patch also lays the infrastructure for the reordering
buffer which will be enabled in the next patches.

mac80211 will call the driver whenever there is a race between
RSS queues and control path that requires a processing of all
pending frames in RSS queues.
Implement that by utilizing the internal notification mechanism:
queue a message to all queues. When the message is received on
a queue it decrements the atomic counter. This guarantees that
all pending frames in the RX queue were processed since the message
is in order inside the queue.

"DQA" is shorthand for "dynamic queue allocation". This
enables on-demand allocation of queues per RA/TID rather than
statically allocating per vif, thus allowing a potential
benefit of various factors.
Please refer to the DOC section this patch adds to sta.h to
see a more in-depth explanation of this feature.
There are many things to take into consideration when working
in DQA mode, and this patch is only one in a series. Note that
default operation mode is non-DQA mode, unless the FW
indicates that it supports DQA mode.
This patch enables support of DQA for a station connected to
an AP, and works in a non-aggregated mode.
When a frame for an unused RA/TID arrives at the driver, it
isn't TXed immediately, but deferred first until a suitable
queue is first allocated for it, and then TXed by a worker
that both allocates the queues and TXes deferred traffic.
When a STA is removed, its queues goes back into the queue
pools for reuse as needed.

LQM stands for Link Quality Measurement. The firmware
will collect a defined set of statitics (see the
notification for details) that allow to know how busy
the medium is. The driver issues a request to the firmware
that includes the duration of the measurement (the firmware
needs to be on channel for that amount of time) and the
timeout (in case the firmware has a lot of offchannel
activities). If the timeout elapses, the firmware will
send partial results which are still valuable.
In case of disassociation / channel switch and alike, the
driver is in charge of stopping the measurements and the
firmware will reply with partial results.
The user space API for now is debugfs only and will be
implmemented in an upcoming patch.

Thermal zone device registration can fail, and in this case
we don't want to remove WiFi functionality. This is why the
thermal zone registration function is void, and the flows
continue even if the thermal zone device registration failed.
Same applies for the cooling device.

zone device didn't register properly and take the minimal
precautions to avoid panic'ing when we access it.

Leaving ucode_loaded to true after stop_device() has been called
is a recipe for problems. Flows that are not sync'ed with the
driver life cycle (like debugfs hooks and thermal hooks) must

In multi rx queue HW, without execessive locking, there is no sync
between the ctrl path (default queue) and the rest of the rx queues.
This might cause issues on certain situations. For example, in case
a delBA was processed on a default queue but out of order packets
still wait for processing on the other queue.
The solution is to introduce internal messaging between the CTRL path
and the other rx queues.
The driver will send a message to the firmware, which will echo it to
all the requested queues. The message will be in order inside the queue.
This way we can avoid CTRL path and RSS queues races.
Add support for this messaging mechanism. As the firmware is agnostic to
the data sent, add internal representation of the data as well.
Although currently only delBA flow will use it, the internal representation
will enable generic use of this infrastructure for future uses.
Next patch will utilize this messaging mechanism for the reorder buffer
delBA flow.
