Firmware doesn't perform Rx reordering so it is
left to the host driver to do that.
Use mac80211 to perform reordering instead of
re-inventing the wheel.
This fixes TCP throughput issues in some
environments.

Firmware could request inspection of some
submitted tx requests. Since the callback wasn't
implemented it was possible to bleed tx msdu_ids
which could translate to tx flushing timeouts.
There's nothing ath10k can do to help firmware
with tx processing now so just report all tx
frames as already inspected to prevent firmware
from sending up inspection events and force it to
report regular tx completion indications with
discard status.

While fixing a bug reported by Avery I went ahead
and added a warning suspecting there might be
something more to the bug. This ended up with
people reporting they see warnings during heavy
traffic. This bought me some time and helped me
understand the problem better - apparently fw/hw
can report a chained msdus as follows: 1 msdu, 1
chained, 1 msdu (0 length).
The patch removes the extra check but leaves the
other change that fixed the original skb_push
panic bug (msdu_chaining was overwritten in an
unfortunate way which made the above example to
be treated as non-chained case).

It was possible to call hif_stop() 2 times through
ath10k_htc_connect_init() timeout failpath which
could lead to double free_irq() kernel splat for
multiple MSI interrupt case.
Re-order init sequence to avoid this problem. The
HTC stop shouldn't stop HIF implicitly since it
doesn't implicitly start it. Since the re-ordering
required some functions to be split/removed/renamed
rename a few functions to make more sense while at
it.

Apparently firmware can sometimes report a
sequence with the first rx descriptor saying it's
not the last MSDU. In that case msdu_chaining
value could be overwritten saying it's not a
chained MSDU. This in turn led to skb_push panic
as the frame could be treated as an A-MSDU instead
of a chained MSDU.

Make sure to sanitize rx ring sk_buff pointers and

It was possible to create/delete/start/stop
monitor vdev from a few places that were not
exclusively protected against each other. This
resulted in monitor vdev being stopped/removed by
one call origin while another one was expecting it
to continue running.
For example if CAC was started and interface's
promiscuous mode was toggled monitor vdev was
removed from the driver meaning no radar would be
detected. In additional a warning would be printed
upon CAC completion complaining it tried to stop
non-running monitor vdev.
The patch simplifies monitor code by removing
IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF (which wasn't really
ever needed) and improves state tracking. It also
unifies prints.

RSSI and RATES fields are valid only when START_VALID
bit is set. So, in current implementation we have to
remember/caclulate them when START_VALID and report the same
when only END_VALID is set.
Currently during heavy traffic we could have:
- 10 packets with START_VALID - correct RSSI and RATES
- 10 packets with END_VALID
- 10 packets with START_VALID - correct RSSI and RATES
- 10 packets with END_VALID
...
Next using monitor interface we will see:
- 10 packets with correct rssi/rates
- 10 packets with rssi=-95/rate=6Mbps
