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.

We're just trusting that these tables are of the right dimensions, when
we could do better by just using the struct directly. Let's expose the
struct txpwr_lmt_cfg_pair instead.
The table changes were made by using some Vim macros, so that should
help prevent any translation mistakes along the way.
Remaining work: get the 'void *data' out of the generic struct
rtw_table; all of these tables really deserve to be their own data
structure, with proper type fields.

Add a structure for power parameters including base,
offset, limit and a function to get tx power parameters.
Then, refine flow to get tx power index through the
function.

Since this macro definition has different values in different chipset,
the current defined macro value is for 8822b. This will cause the
settings of 8822c be incorrect.
Remove RTW_MAX_POWER_INDEX and use max_power_index in struct rtw_chip_info
to make sure the value of different chipset is right.

Rename the function names to make them have the same prefix "rtw_phy"
for the tx power setting routines. Only the function names and
corresponding identation are modified.

Some functions that should be static are unnecessarily exposed, remove
their declaration in header file phy.h.
After resolving their declaration order, they can be declared as static.
So this commit changes nothing except the order and marking them static.

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:
