This mechanism reduces the numbers of false alram in cck rate by
dynamically adjusting the value of power threshold and cs_ratio.
We determine the new value by three factors, which are rssi, false alarm
count and igi. Based on these factors, we define the current condition
into five levels. Compared to the previous level, if the level is changed,
we set the new values for power threshold and cs_ratio.

Since 8822c requires to do not only IQK, but also DPK.
Move these calibrations that need to be done once the channel
is determined, into phy_calibration.
And note that the order of the calibrations matters, 8822c
should do IQK first, then DPK.

Power amplifiers are not linear components, and require DPK to
reduce its nonlinearity. DPK is called Digital Pre-distortion
Calibration, can be used to compensate the output of power.
DPK tracking is in charge of tracking the thermal changes. And
it then shifts the power curve accordingly, which makes the
power output remains linear even if the PA works in different
temperature.
To perform DPK, the parameter table should also be updated.
And the table will be applied when device is powered on.
Then DPK will reference the values to calibrate.

Both RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE are WiFi + BT combo chips. Since
WiFi and BT use 2.4GHz to transmit, it is important to
make sure they run concurrently without interfering each
other. To achieve this, WiFi driver requires a mechanism
to collaborate with BT, whether they share the antenna(s)
or not.
The final decision made by the co-existence mechanism is
to choose a proper strategy, or called "tdma/table", and
inform either firmware or hardware of the strategy.
To choose a strategy, co-existence mechanism needs to
have enough information from WiFi and BT.
BT information is provided through firmware C2H.
The contents describe the current status of BT, such as
if BT is connected or is idle, or the profile that is
being used.
WiFi information can be provided by WiFi itself. The WiFi
driver will call various of "notify" functions each time
the state of WiFi changed, such as WiFi is going to switch
channel or is connected. Also WiFi driver can know if it
shares antenna with BT by reading efuse content. Antenna
configuration of the module will finally get a different
strategy.
Upon receiving any information from WiFi or BT, the WiFi
driver will run the co-existence mechanism immediately.
It will set the RF antenna configuration according to the
strategy through the TDMA H2C to firmware and a hardware
table. Based on the tdma/table, WiFi + BT should work with
each other, and having a better user experience.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
