The cmd_in_flight tracking was introduced to workaround faulty
power management hardware, by having the driver keep the NIC
awake as long as there are commands in flight. However, some of
the code handling this workaround was unconditionally executed,
which resulted with an inconsistent state where the driver assumed
that the NIC was awake although it wasn't.
Fix this by renaming 'cmd_in_flight' to 'cmd_hold_nic_awake' and
handling the NIC requested awake state only for hardwares for
which the workaround is needed.

This allows the op_mode to let the transport know that a
queue is currently frozen and that its timer should be
stopped.
When the queue is unfrozen, its timer should be set to
expire after the remainder of the timeout has elapsed.
This can be used when stations go to sleep. When a station
goes to sleep, the op_mode can freeze the timer so that the
queue will never be considered as stuck. When the station
wakes up, the queue will be unfrozen.
This is meant to avoid false positives that would happen if
a buggy station goes to sleep for a very long time. In case
we have a dedicated queue for this station (BA agreement)
and it goes to sleep for a very long time, the queue would
rightfully be stopped during all that time. In this case,
the stuck queue timer could fire and that would be a false
positive.

We don't need to acquire MAC access for each access, it
makes much more sense to keep the MAC access. This speeds
up the Tx DMA stop flow significantly.
Moreover, if one channel can't be stopped, stop the others
but don't poll for them to avoid being stuck there for a
long time.
This solves a situation in which we were stuck in that flow
for way too long with a spinlock held which led to a kernel
panic.

Different queue can have different behavior. While it can be
unacceptable for a certain queue to be stuck for 2 seconds
(e.g. the command queue), it can happen that another queue
will stay stuck for even longer (a queue servicing a power
saving client in GO).
The op_mode can even make the timeout be a function of the
listen interval.

This watchdog allows to monitor the transmit queues. When a
queue doesn't progress for a too long time, a timer fires
and then, debug data can be collected.
This watchdog has never been enabled on dvm controlled
devices, so don't enable it there.
In order to have it running on mvm controlled devices, we
need to fix a small issue in the transport layer: mvm
controlled devices use the shadow registers optimization.
In this case, the watchdog wasn't running at all, even if
enabled by the module parameter. Fix that on the way.

The base address of the scheduler in the device's memory
(SRAM) comes from two different sources. The periphery
register and the alive notification from the firmware.
We have a check in iwl_pcie_tx_start that ensures that
they are the same.
When we resume from WoWLAN, the firmware may have crashed
for whatever reason. In that case, the whole device may be
reset which means that the periphery register will hold a
meaningless value. When we come to compare
trans_pcie->scd_base_addr (which really holds the value we
had when we loaded the WoWLAN firmware upon suspend) and
the current value of the register, we don't see a match
unsurprisingly.
Trick the check to avoid a loud yet harmless WARN.
Note that when the WoWLAN has crashed, we will see that
in iwl_trans_pcie_d3_resume which will let the op_mode
know. Once the op_mode is informed that the WowLAN firmware
has crashed, it can't do much besides resetting the whole
device.

A new host command can be used to configure the scheduler
instead of accessing the scheduler's registers from the
driver. This is easier and less error prone since accessing
the hardware at certain moments can lead to races with the
firmware.
Prefer to use the host command whenever it is available.

In some rare cases, the firmware can put the device to
sleep after the driver requested the access. This is
because the access request can take a short time to be
propagated to the firmware.
If that happens, the driver may think that it has access
since the firmware hasn't put the device to sleep yet, but
right after the driver's check, the firmware might put the
device to sleep.
Warn when this happens by allowing the firmware to finish
the "put the device sleep" flow so that the driver will
not get access to the device. This will make the issue
visible.
This still doesn't fix the race, but at least it makes
it more visible.

Configuring the hw scheduler during queue enablement is done by
writing the appropriate values to the scheduler peripherals, and
it is essentially the same for all buses.
Whenever writing is done via the standard iwl_write_prph, we can
avoid duplicating the code for each bus. Those operations are
queue deactivation, RA/TID mapping, chain-building settings,
enabling/disabling aggregations and activating/deactivating the
TX FIFOs.
Consolidate this code using static inlines in a new header file.

A hardware bug had been discovered on 7260 / 3160 and 7265
and the workaround for this bug is to force the NIC to stay
awake as long as we have host commands in flight. This
workaround has been introduced for all NICs in a previous
patch:
b9439491055a ("iwlwifi: pcie: keep the NIC awake when commands are in flight")
In newer NICs, this bug is solved, so we can let the NIC go
to sleep even when we send commands. The hardware will wake
up when we increment the scheduler write pointer.
Make the workaround conditional to only use it on affected
hardware.

None of the devices supported by iwldvm have support for
shadow registers. This means that we wake the NIC
when we increment the write pointer on Tx ring.
This happened even before my bad commit mentionned below.
Since my commit below, we wake up the NIC when we put a
host command on the ring regardless of shadow register
support. This means that in iwldvm (when the NIC doesn't
support shadow register), we wake up the NIC twice:
pcie_enqueue_hcmd:
wake up the NIC
iwl_pcie_txq_inc_wr_ptr:
wake up the NIC - no shadow reg support
Since waking up the NIC means that we need to acquire a
spinlock, this obviously leads to a recursive spinlock
and hence a freeze.
