mac80211: extend current rate control tx status API
This patch adds the new struct ieee80211_rate_status and replaces 'struct rate_info *rate' in ieee80211_tx_status with pointer and length annotation. The struct ieee80211_rate_status allows to: (1) receive tx power status feedback for transmit power control (TPC) per packet or packet retry (2) dynamic mapping of wifi chip specific multi-rate retry (mrr) chains with different lengths (3) increase the limit of annotatable rate indices to support IEEE802.11ac rate sets and beyond ieee80211_tx_info, control and status buffer, and ieee80211_tx_rate cannot be used to achieve these goals due to fixed size limitations. Our new struct contains a struct rate_info to annotate the rate that was used, retry count of the rate and tx power. It is intended for all information related to RC and TPC that needs to be passed from driver to mac80211 and its RC/TPC algorithms like Minstrel_HT. It corresponds to one stage in an mrr. Multiple subsequent instances of this struct can be included in struct ieee80211_tx_status via a pointer and a length variable. Those instances can be allocated on-stack. The former reference to a single instance of struct rate_info is replaced with our new annotation. An extension is introduced to struct ieee80211_hw. There are two new members called 'tx_power_levels' and 'max_txpwr_levels_idx' acting as a tx power level table. When a wifi device is registered, the driver shall supply all supported power levels in this list. This allows to support several quirks like differing power steps in power level ranges or alike. TPC can use this for algorithm and thus be designed more abstract instead of handling all possible step widths individually. Further mandatory changes in status.c, mt76 and ath11k drivers due to the removal of 'struct rate_info *rate' are also included. status.c already uses the information in ieee80211_tx_status->rate in radiotap, this is now changed to use ieee80211_rate_status->rate_idx. mt76 driver already uses struct rate_info to pass the tx rate to status path. The new members of the ieee80211_tx_status are set to NULL and 0 because the previously passed rate is not relevant to rate control and accurate information is passed via tx_info->status.rates. For ath11k, the txrate can be passed via this struct because ath11k uses firmware RC and thus the information does not interfere with software RC.
