MU-MIMO Rx involves different interpretation of
the VHT-SIG-A compared to SU-MIMO.
The incorrect interpretation led ath10k to report
VHT MCS values greater than 9 which subsequently
prompted mac80211 to drop such frames. This
effectively broke Rx with MU-MIMO in many cases
and manifested with a kernel warning in the log
which looked like this:

This patch enables raw Rx/Tx encap mode to support software based
crypto engine. This patch introduces a new module param 'cryptmode'.
cryptmode:
0: Use hardware crypto engine globally with native Wi-Fi mode TX/RX
encapsulation to the firmware. This is the default mode.
1: Use sofware crypto engine globally with raw mode TX/RX
encapsulation to the firmware.
Known limitation:
A-MSDU must be disabled for RAW Tx encap mode to perform well when
heavy traffic is applied.

Some firmware revisions pad 4th hw address in
Native Wifi Rx decap. This is the case with 10.x
and it was assumed that this is true for all
firmware images.
However QCA988X with 999.999.0.636 and QCA61X4
with WLAN.RM.2.0-00088 don't have the padding.
Hence add a feature flag indicating that the
padding isn't present so firmware images can
advertise it appropriately. This way driver will
behave as it was before with old firmware blobs
and doesn't cause any regressions from user
perspective.
Effectively this patch enables QCA988X with

Target to host HTT messages are conflicting between 10.x and other
firmware revisions. By maintaining separate HTT T2H tables for each
firmware revisions (main, 10x and tlv) similar to WMI abstraction,
solves the conflicts. Add ATH10K_FW_IE_HTT_OP_VERSION so that the firmware can
advertise the HTT interface to ath10k.
This fix is needed to get management frames over HTT (ie.
ATH10K_FW_FEATURE_HAS_WMI_MGMT_TX disabled) working with 10.2.4.48-2 firmware.
Otherwise there will be unknown htt events and nothing works:
[30087.438343] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: htt event (19) not handled
[30087.448691] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: htt event (19) not handled
[30149.032974] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: htt event (19) not handled
If the firmware does not have ATH10K_FW_IE_HTT_OP_VERSION use the main HTT
interface. That way old firmware images will still work.

While fixing a bug reported by Avery I went ahead
and added a warning suspecting there might be
something more to the bug. This ended up with
people reporting they see warnings during heavy
traffic. This bought me some time and helped me
understand the problem better - apparently fw/hw
can report a chained msdus as follows: 1 msdu, 1
chained, 1 msdu (0 length).
The patch removes the extra check but leaves the
other change that fixed the original skb_push
panic bug (msdu_chaining was overwritten in an
unfortunate way which made the above example to
be treated as non-chained case).

It was possible to call hif_stop() 2 times through
ath10k_htc_connect_init() timeout failpath which
could lead to double free_irq() kernel splat for
multiple MSI interrupt case.
Re-order init sequence to avoid this problem. The
HTC stop shouldn't stop HIF implicitly since it
doesn't implicitly start it. Since the re-ordering
required some functions to be split/removed/renamed
rename a few functions to make more sense while at
it.

Apparently firmware can sometimes report a
sequence with the first rx descriptor saying it's
not the last MSDU. In that case msdu_chaining
value could be overwritten saying it's not a
chained MSDU. This in turn led to skb_push panic
as the frame could be treated as an A-MSDU instead
of a chained MSDU.

msdu_payId was read before txrx tasklet was killed
so it was possible to end up using an invalid
sk_buff pointer leading to a panic.
Make sure to sanitize rx ring sk_buff pointers and
make the clean up go through all possible entries
and not rely on coherent-DMA mapped u32 index
which could be (in theory) corrupted by the device
as well.

It was possible to create/delete/start/stop
monitor vdev from a few places that were not
exclusively protected against each other. This
resulted in monitor vdev being stopped/removed by
one call origin while another one was expecting it
to continue running.
For example if CAC was started and interface's
promiscuous mode was toggled monitor vdev was
removed from the driver meaning no radar would be
detected. In additional a warning would be printed
upon CAC completion complaining it tried to stop
non-running monitor vdev.
The patch simplifies monitor code by removing
IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF (which wasn't really
ever needed) and improves state tracking. It also
unifies prints.

RSSI and RATES fields are valid only when START_VALID
bit is set. So, in current implementation we have to
remember/caclulate them when START_VALID and report the same
when only END_VALID is set.
Currently during heavy traffic we could have:
- 10 packets with START_VALID - correct RSSI and RATES
- 10 packets with END_VALID
- 10 packets with START_VALID - correct RSSI and RATES
- 10 packets with END_VALID
...
Next using monitor interface we will see:
- 10 packets with correct rssi/rates
- 10 packets with rssi=-95/rate=6Mbps
