the current code does 4 memcpys for each completion frame.
1) duplicate the desc
2 + 3) inside kfifo insertion
4) kfifo remove
The code simply drops the kfifo and uses a trivial ring buffer. This
requires a single memcpy for insertion. There is no removal needed as
we can simply use the inserted data for processing. As the code runs
inside the NAPI context it is atomic and there is no need for most of
the locking.

Firmware expects all the required REO destination rings setup
while processing wmi_init command. Not doing this causes connected
stations getting disconnected and not able to connect back.

Make sure the number of WBM_IDLE_LINK ring descriptors is power
of 2. This increases the number of descriptors to 32k from the
current ~18k to fix the target assert because of the shortage in
the descriptors in WBM_IDLE_LINK ring. Remove unnecessary
power of 2 calculation in ath11k_dp_link_desc_setup() as it is
not required after this change.

It is observed that ath11k STA mode UL throughput is low.
This is due to packets delivered to FW from TCL instead of TQM.
TCL AST search fail causes packet delivered to FW, fix this by
properly configuring the TCL address search type and ast_hash.
STA UL throughput is improved 10times with 11AC AP.

ath11k is a new driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices, first
supporting only IPQ8074 SoC using the shared memory AHB bus. ath11k
uses mac80211 and supports AP, Station and Mesh modes.
Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especially
the WMI layer) it was concluded to be simpler to have a "clean start"
for ath11k code base and not try to share the code with ath10k. This
makes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, which
would have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existing
setups.
Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are major
differences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11k
supports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. And
there's only one WMI interface to support.
Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for
802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k is
accepted to upstream.
The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository but
they will be also submitted to linux-firmware:
https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware
This was tested with firmware version WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1.
The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabetical
order below.
