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.

Every chip family except RTL8723AU has a copy of the efuse dumping
code. Remove this and dump the efuse from a single place using a new
function rtl8xxxu_dump_efuse().
Also, use print_hex_dump() to print the efuse instead of a loop and
dev_info(). It shows the ASCII interpretation of the bytes, which is
nice.

Move the reusable parts into separate functions and create one
identify_chip function for each chip type.
This is preparation for supporting the RTL8710BU chip, which would
need too many ugly changes to this function. Another reason to do this

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
and RTL8723BU) because the CFO tracking should only be done when
bluetooth is disabled, and determining that looked complicated.
That leaves only the RTL8192EU and RTL8188FU chips. I tested this with
the latter.

This chip is found in the cheapest USB adapters, e.g. 1.17 USD with
VAT and shipping from China included.
It's a gen 2 chip, similar to the RTL8723BU, but without Bluetooth.
Features: 2.4 GHz, b/g/n mode, 1T1R, 150 Mbps.
The vendor driver rtl8188fu version 4.3.23.6_20964.20170110 [0]
was used as reference. The CD shipped with the device includes a
newer driver, version 5.11.5-1-g12f7cde4b.20201102, but that one
couldn't complete the WPA2 key exchange thing for whatever reason.

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.

The WiFi tx power of RTL8723BU is extremely low after booting. So
the WiFi scan gives very limited AP list and it always fails to
connect to the selected AP. This module only supports 1x1 antenna
and the antenna is switched to bluetooth due to some incorrect
register settings.
Compare with the vendor driver https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bu,
we realized that the 8723bu's enable_rf() does the same thing as
rtw_btcoex_HAL_Initialize() in vendor driver. And it by default
sets the antenna path to BTC_ANT_PATH_BT which we verified it's
the cause of the wifi weak tx power. The vendor driver will set
the antenna path to BTC_ANT_PATH_PTA in the consequent btcoexist
mechanism, by the function halbtc8723b1ant_PsTdma.
This commit hand over the antenna control to PTA(Packet Traffic
Arbitration), which compares the weight of bluetooth/wifi traffic
then determine whether to continue current wifi traffic or not.
After PTA take control, The wifi signal will be back to normal and
the bluetooth scan can also work at the same time. However, the
btcoexist still needs to be handled under different circumstances.
If there's a BT connection established, the wifi still fails to
connect until BT disconnected.
