The transmission utilization ratio for sdio bus for small packet is
slow, because the space and time cost for sdio bus is same for large
length packet and small length packet. So the speed of data for large
length packet is higher than small length.
Test result of different length of data:

This patch change the TX packet from single packet to a large length
bundle packet, max size is 32, it results in significant performance
improvement on TX path.
Also there's a fourth thread "ath10k_tx_complete_wq" added to ath10k as it
improves TCP RX throughput (values in Mbps):

change it to ar->workqueue 410 360 449 414

This patch is to set register to allow the mbox enter sleep status
if it does not have tx traffic and wakeup it if tx traffic arrive.
After mbox enter sleep status, the soc will enter sleep status by
firmware, this will save power. The power consume drops from about
90mW to about 10mW with this patch.

IPQ8074 HW supports three TCL rings for tx. Currently these rings
are mapped based on the Access categories, viz. VO, VI, BE, BK.
In case, one of the traffic type dominates, then it could stress
the same tcl rings. Rather, it would be optimal to make use of all
the rings in a round robin fashion irrespective of the traffic type
so that the load could be evenly distributed among all the rings.
Also, in case the selected ring is busy or full, a retry mechanism
is used to ensure other available ring is selected without dropping
the packet.
In SMP systems, this change avoids a single CPU from getting hogged
when heavy traffic of same category is transmitted.
The tx completion interrupts corresponding to the used tcl ring
would be more which causes the assigned CPU to get hogged.
Distribution of tx packets to different tcl rings helps balance
this load.

For sdio chip, it is high latency bus, all the TX packet's content will
be tranferred from HOST memory to firmware memory via sdio bus, then it
need much more memory in firmware than low latency bus chip, for low
latency chip, such as PCI-E, it only need to transfer the TX descriptor
via PCI-E bus to firmware memory. For sdio chip, reduce the complexity of
TX logic will help TX efficiency since its memory is limited, and it will
reduce the TX circle's time of each packet and then firmware will have more
memory for TX since TX complete also need memeory.
This patch disable TX complete indication from firmware for htt data
packet, it will not have TX complete indication from firmware to ath10k.
It will cut the cost of bus bandwidth of TX complete and make the TX
logic of firmware simpler, it results in significant performance
improvement on TX path.
Udp TX throughout is 130Mbps without this patch, and it arrives
400Mbps with this patch.
The downside of this patch is the command "iw wlan0 station dump" will
show 0 for "tx retries" and "tx failed" since all tx packet's status
is success.

Pktlog data are different among the chipset & chipset versions.
As part of enhancing the user space script to decode the pktlog
trace events generated, it is desirable to know which chipset or
which chipset version has provided the events and thereby decode
the pktlogs appropriately.
Pktlog checksum helps to determine the chipset variant which is
given by the firmware in the struct wmi_ready_event.
Pktlog checksums are computed during the firmware build.
So, adding that pktlog checksum in the pklog trace events.

As Hash based reo destination selection is configured,
the decapped packets reach different reo destintion rings
based on the destintaion ring selected for the computed hash (based on
the 5-tuple {ip src/ip dst/src port/dst port/protocol}) by hw and
as configured by driver.
Hence the current implementation of amsdu list based processing after all
the subframes of amsdu are received (since all msdu's for a pdev are
received in same reo dest ring), is not applicable here and hence is
replaced with per msdu based handling as these subframes
can be received in different reo dest rings.
Also, as some of the rx descriptor fields might be valid only for the
first msdu (for ex. received 80211 header, encryption type, etc),
it might not be useful now as we cannot sync between different
subframes received in different rings. Hence do not rely on those
fields and replace them with fieds valid only on per msdu descriptors.
Also cache other details such as encryption type for a peer so that
it can be reused when a packet is received from it.

delivers them to the driver. For fragmented frames, driver is
required to do a little more; it has to reassemble the fragments
and then reinject them to the HW for verifying the PN. Currently,
to keep the logic simple, PN verifcation is disabled in HW and is
handled in mac80211 for all the frames (fragmented and unfragmented).
On the contrary, offloading PN Validation to the HW brings important
benefits. It reduces CPU cycles spent on the host CPU for verifying
the same; helps in enabling features which improve performance like
mac80211 fast RX path, enabling multiple REO rings for parallel RX
processing, 802.11 decapsulation offloading. All these features are
dependent on PN offload which in turn is dependent on handling of
the received fragments in the driver.
When TKIP security is used, additional handling is required while
processing the fragments; since MIC is computed on an MSDU in TKIP,
only the last fragment has the MIC info. In this case, driver has to
compute the MIC after reassembly and compare it against the MIC
present in the frame. For this, MICHAEL_MIC kernel crypto library
APIs are used and the dependencies are appropriately set.
