191c4257ba rtw88: update tx power limit table to RF v20
Support more regulatory domains including IC, KCC,
ACMA, CHILE, UKRAINE, and MEXICO. Corresponding tx
power limits for these regulatory domains are added
in tx power limit table. Besides, tx power limits in
some case are also updated to follow RF v20 for better
tx power indexes.

Channel plan mapping table are upgraded to consider
more 2G and 5G channel plans combination cases. It
allow us to identify different situations more accuratly
by channel plan IDs. In addition, mapping table for
country code and channel plan ID and mapping table
for country code and tx power limit are also updated
to follow RF v20. It allow the new enrties in tx power
limit table to be applied correctly.

93f68a865f rtw88: correct power limit selection
If phy rate is decreased, sub bandwidth may be chosen by RA.
We consider possible power limits and apply the min one;
otherwise, the tx power index may be larger than spec.

And we cross-reference power limits of vht and ht with
20/40M bandwidth in 5G to avoid values are not assigned.

a11cddd42b rtw88: restore DACK results to save time
DACK is done right after the hardware has been turned on, which
means it will be done every time we leave the IDLE state.
But it takes ~2 seconds to finish DACK.

We can back up the results and restore them. And it only takes a few
milliseconds to restore the results to the hardware, saving a lot of
time.

6fabdc4a34 rtw88: add beacon function setting
Add beacon function setting routines for each hardware port.
If beacon function is not enabled, the hardware is not able
to synchronize with AP's beacon and can miss the beacons
under some scenarios such as PS mode.

For AP and Adhoc modes that require to send beacons, do not
update the TSF, otherwise the beacon interval may be affected.

e3037485c6 rtw88: new Realtek 802.11ac driver
This is a new mac80211 driver for Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips.
rtw88 now supports RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE now, with basic station mode
functionalities. The firmware for both can be found at linux-firmware.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
For RTL8822BE: rtw88/rtw8822b_fw.bin
For RTL8822CE: rtw88/rtw8822c_fw.bin

And for now, only PCI buses (RTL8xxxE) are supported. We will add support
for USB and SDIO in the future. The bus interface abstraction can be seen
in this driver such as hci.h. Most of the hardware setting are the same
except for some TRX path or probing setup should be separated.

Supported:

 * Basic STA/AP/ADHOC mode, and TDLS (STA is well tested)

Missing feature:

 * WOW/PNO
 * USB & SDIO bus (such as RTL8xxxU/RTL8xxxS)
 * BT coexistence (8822B/8822C are combo ICs)
 * Multiple interfaces (for now single STA is better supported)
 * Dynamic hardware calibrations (to improve/stabilize performance)

Potential problems:

 * static calibration spends too much time, and it is painful for
   driver to leave IDLE state. And slows down associate process.
   But reload function are under development, will be added soon!
 * TRX statictics misleading, as we are not reporting status correctly,
   or say, not reporting for "every" packet.

The next patch set should have BT coexistence code since RTL8822B/C are
combo ICs, and the driver for BT can be found after Linux Kernel v4.20.
So it is better to add it first to make WiFi + BT work concurrently.

Although now rtw88 is simple but we are developing more features for it.
Even we want to add support for more chips such as RTL8821C/RTL8814B.

Finally, rtw88 has many authors, listed alphabetically:
