Today, the driver logic looks for the conditions to disable
power management albeit power management should be enabled
in a very few distinct cases.
This patch changes the driver logic to enable power
management once the required conditions met.
While at it, make some housekeeping and support a few
additional use cases:
a) Add support for a standalone p2p client:
Power management should be enabled for a P2P client
MAC only if the firmware supports it (TLV flag is set).
Instead we used the DCM flag, therefore we didn't cover
use cases that did not include the DCM flag.
b) Add support to Same-Channel-Mode (SCM):
If both clients share the same channel (SCM), and there
are no other active vifs in the system, power management
should be enabled only if the firmware supports this
(TLV flag is set).
c) Fix power management logic for GO/AP:
Today, when we detect an active GO / AP MAC - we disable
power management for all the vifs altogether.
Actually, the correct behavior is to enable power
management on a client if on a different channel
(based on the firmware capabilities).
d) Housekeeping - Along with that, this patch includes some
code-reorganizing: Today the logic of disabling power is
scattered across several functions, specifically in the
iterator. For the sake of both readability and
scalability, we moved this logic to its applicable
function, leaving the iterator gather information only.
Furthermore, as power management is a MAC-related
attribute, we moved the power management member to the
iwl_mvm_vif structure.

When power update is initiated on BSS STA while P2P client
exists, the power command will be sent only on BSS STA vif
ignoring P2P client.
Since the firmware has symmetric constraints on the power
save enablement we can simplify the code a bit.
The current firmware doesn't know how to enable power
management on P2P client. Even BSS power management must
be disabled when a P2P client is added.
Future firmware will support power save on BSS and P2P client
as long as they are on different channels.
This was buggy since we didn't disable power management on
P2P client interface if BSS added on the same channel.

New FW enables support for power save on BSS and P2P client MACs
simultaneously when they function on different channels (DCM).
Enable this case in the driver after examining new TLV flag -
IWL_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_BSS_P2P_PS_DCM. Still power management is not
allowed on both MACs if they function on a same channel.
Remove another redundant TLV flag - IWL_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_P2P_PS that
is not in use anymore. Remove bound_vif_cnt as redundant.

The main complexity of the power code is that it needs to
take into account the firmware limitations.
These limitations state that we need to have a global
picture of the vifs present in the system to be able to
decide if we can enable power management on a specific vif.
Even device power save (as opposed to vif power management)
must be disabled in certain circumstances (monitor vif).
Refactor the current code to make this clearer by defining
a function that explicitely computes these constraints.
