[PATCH 00/19] rtw89: support AP mode

[Ping-Ke Shih <pkshih@realtek.com>]

To support AP mode, we implement ::start_ap and ::stop_ap to configure
firmware and hardware to play an AP. Then, we download beacon content to
firmware, so firmware can send out periodically the frames that must have
continual sequence number with other management frames.

When mac80211 buffers unicast packets for certain STAs, it tells driver via
::set_tim, and then we download the beacon content to firmware again. On the
other hand, if a broadcast packet is going to send out, it should go via
HIQ (HI queue) that hardware will raise group frame bit in TIM of beacon
frame. But if no STA sleeps, a broadcast packet is sent via AC queue.

When a STA is going to connect, it issues a probe request frame and then
auth/assoc frames. To receive these frames before it is connected, we need
to consider more RX filter flags to set registers properly.

When a connection is established, we need to assign a mac_id as a behalf of
this peer in firmware and hardware, and then use this mac_id to initialize
an instance in firmware via H2C(s). The most important part is to add a
corresponding address CAM entry that contains peer's MAC address and BSSID,
so hardware can determine a packet is belong to which peer. If it is a
security connection, keys will be filled to security CAM as well.

Since there are many CAM ID(s), I add a debugfs entry to see if the
relations between ID(s) and STA(s) are expected.
