If the chip can have an LED, register a struct led_classdev and enable
hardware-controlled blinking. When the chip is not transmitting or
receiving anything the LED is off. Otherwise the LED will blink
faster or slower according to the throughput.
The LED can be controlled from userspace by writing 0, 1, or 2 to
/sys/class/leds/rtl8xxxu-usbX-Y/brightness:
0 - solid off.
1 - solid on.
2 - hardware-controlled blinking.
In this patch none of the chips advertise having an LED. That will be
added in the next patches.

Or in the case of RTL8188EU, report the RSSI to the rate control code.
The rate control code for RTL8188EU is less likely to switch to a lower
rate when the RSSI is high. The firmware-based rate control in the other
chips probably works the same way.
This affects all the chips, but it was only tested with RTL8188EU,
RTL8188FU, and RTL8192EU.

According to Realtek programmers, "to adjust oscillator to align
central frequency of connected AP. Then, it can yield better
performance." From commit fb8517f4fa ("rtw88: 8822c: add CFO
tracking").
The RTL8192CU and a version of RTL8723AU apparently don't have the
ability to adjust the oscillator, so this doesn't apply to them.
This also doesn't apply to the wifi + bluetooth combo chips (RTL8723AU

bluetooth is disabled, and determining that looked complicated.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

The RTL8723BU has problems connecting to AP after each warm reboot.
Sometimes it returns no scan result, and in most cases, it fails
the authentication for unknown reason. However, it works totally
fine after cold reboot.
Compare the value of register SYS_CR and SYS_CLK_MAC_CLK_ENABLE
for cold reboot and warm reboot, the registers imply that the MAC
is already powered and thus some procedures are skipped during
driver initialization. Double checked the vendor driver, it reads
the SYS_CR and SYS_CLK_MAC_CLK_ENABLE also but doesn't skip any
during initialization based on them. This commit only tells the
RTL8723BU to do full initialization without checking MAC status.

The RTL8723BU suffers the wifi disconnection problem while bluetooth
device connected. While wifi is doing tx/rx, the bluetooth will scan
without results. This is due to the wifi and bluetooth share the same
single antenna for RF communication and they need to have a mechanism
to collaborate.
BT information is provided via the packet sent from co-processor to
host (C2H). It contains the status of BT but the rtl8723bu_handle_c2h
dose not really handle it. And there's no bluetooth coexistence
mechanism to deal with it.
This commit adds a workqueue to set the tdma configurations and
coefficient table per the parsed bluetooth link status and given
wifi connection state. The tdma/coef table comes from the vendor
driver code of the RTL8192EU and RTL8723BU. However, this commit is
only for single antenna scenario which RTL8192EU is default dual
antenna. The rtl8xxxu_parse_rxdesc24 which invokes the handle_c2h
is only for 8723b and 8192e so the mechanism is expected to work
on both chips with single antenna. Note RTL8192EU dual antenna is
not supported.

We have 3 laptops which connect the wifi by the same RTL8723BU.
The PCI VID/PID of the wifi chip is 10EC:B720 which is supported.
They have the same problem with the in-kernel rtl8xxxu driver, the
iperf (as a client to an ethernet-connected server) gets ~1Mbps.
Nevertheless, the signal strength is reported as around -40dBm,
which is quite good. From the wireshark capture, the tx rate for each
data and qos data packet is only 1Mbps. Compare to the Realtek driver
at https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bu, the same iperf test gets
~12Mbps or better. The signal strength is reported similarly around
-40dBm. That's why we want to improve.
After reading the source code of the rtl8xxxu driver and Realtek's, the
major difference is that Realtek's driver has a watchdog which will keep
monitoring the signal quality and updating the rate mask just like the
rtl8xxxu_gen2_update_rate_mask() does if signal quality changes.
And this kind of watchdog also exists in rtlwifi driver of some specific
chips, ex rtl8192ee, rtl8188ee, rtl8723ae, rtl8821ae...etc. They have
the same member function named dm_watchdog and will invoke the
corresponding dm_refresh_rate_adaptive_mask to adjust the tx rate
mask.
With this commit, the tx rate of each data and qos data packet will
be 39Mbps (MCS4) with the 0xF00000 as the tx rate mask. The 20th bit
to 23th bit means MCS4 to MCS7. It means that the firmware still picks
the lowest rate from the rate mask and explains why the tx rate of
data and qos data is always lowest 1Mbps because the default rate mask
passed is always 0xFFFFFFF ranges from the basic CCK rate, OFDM rate,
and MCS rate. However, with Realtek's driver, the tx rate observed from
wireshark under the same condition is almost 65Mbps or 72Mbps, which
indicating that rtl8xxxu could still be further improved.
