Treat a single connected STA in PSM as a slow link and regulate Tx speed
according to slow link priority/stop thresholds.
This allows us to avoid flooding the FW, while delivering decent
throughput to a peer in forced-PSM.

Update the 18xx FW status private part to include Tx related link
priorities. Introduce new HW ops to determine link priority per chip
family.
For 18xx the changes are:
- Suspended links are at most low priority and Tx for them is stopped
beyond the suspend threshold.
- Active links now get their thresholds directly from FW
- There's a new "stop" threshold for active links, at which point a link
stops receiving new packets.
Update the min 18xx FW version required to make sure suspended links
bitmap is advertised by the FW.

Prioritize EDCA by choosing the AC before anything else. Use the
fast/slow link bitmap in FW to improve the scheduling algorithm for
the multi-link scenario.
Set packet thresholds to determine if a given link is high or low
priority according to its speed. A slow link will be given high priority
if the amount of packets queued for it in the FW is lower than the
slow-threshold. Similarly, a fast link will be given high priority if
the number of its packets queued in FW is smaller than the high-threshold.
The improved algorithm:
1. Choose optimal AC according to FW utilization
2. Traversing the VIFs in a round-robin fashion, try to choose a high
priority link. Links are traversed in a round-robin fashion inside a
VIF.
3. If no high priority links are found, choose the first non-empty
(low priority) link found in the round robin.

The firmwares version string contain 5 integers. We used to consider
all the digits (except for the first one, which indicates the chip) as
linearly increasing version numbers. This is not correct, because
some of the integers indicate type of firmware (eg. single-role
vs. multi-role) or the internal project it was created for.
Besides, this varies a bit from chip to chip, so we need to make the
firmware version checks more flexible (eg. allow the lower driver to
ignore some of the integers). Additionally, we need to change the
code so that we only check for a linearly increasing number on the
fields where this actually makes sense.

In 18xx the calibration process of the PHY Cortex domain

before it can be used for transmission. To fulfill world
wide regulatory restrictions, fw should be always
synchronized/updated with current CRDA configuration.
Add a new "CMD_DFS_CHANNEL_CONFIG" command to update the
fw with current reg-domain, this command passes a bit map
of channels that are allowed to be used for transmission.
The driver shall update the fw during initialization and
after each change in the current reg-domain
configuration. The driver will save the channel number of
incoming beacons during the scan process, as they might
be a result of the passive scan on
"IEEE80211_CHAN_PASSIVE_SCAN" channel and will update the
fw accordingly once the scan is finished, the purpose of
this is to be ready in case of the authentication request
on one of these disabled (uncalibrated) channels.
The new command requires to wait for the fw completion
event "DFS_CHANNELS_CONFIG_COMPLETE_EVENT".
No scan commands (including the sched scan) can be
executed concurrently with the "CMD_DFS_CHANNEL_CONFIG",
wl->mutex ensures that.
