This series adds support for the USB chip variants to the RTW88 driver.

The first patches in the series consolidate the locking in the driver.
The rtw88 driver protects the register accesses with spinlocks which
naturally don't cope well with the asynchronous nature of USB. It turned
out though that in most cases where additional locks are taken the
global driver mutex is acquired anyway which makes them mostly
unnecessary. The exception is the debugfs code which depends on the
additional locks. This is changed to acquire the global driver mutex as
well, so the additional locks can be removed.  I verified the callstacks
leading to the different locks with a cscope based shell script, so I am
pretty confident that I haven't missed any pathes. Nevertheless please
have a careful look, please.

Another problem to address is that the driver uses
ieee80211_iterate_stations_atomic() and
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() and does register accesses
in the iterator. This doesn't work with USB, so iteration is done in two
steps now: The ieee80211_iterate_*_atomic() functions are only used to
collect the stations/interfaces on a list which is then iterated over
non-atomically in the second step. The implementation for this is
basically the one suggested by Ping-Ke here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/423f474e15c948eda4db5bc9a50fd391@realtek.com/

The USB driver code itself is based on
https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtw88-usb.git.  The most significant
change to that code base is likely the TX queue handling.  It seems the
PCI versions of the RTW88 chips have eight differently prioritized TX
queues whereas the USB variants only have one to three queues (one per
bulk endpoint).  The original code base first mapped the TX packets
coming into the driver onto eight TX queues which were then re-mapped
again to the existing endpoints. As the eight TX queues do not
physically exist on the USB variants I changed that to map the incoming
TX packets directly onto the bulk endpoints.

I tested this series on the RTW8822CU only. I don't have access to any
of the other chips supported by the RTW88 driver, so testing feedback
would be greatly appreciated.

This is my first excursion to the Linux wireless world, so please review
carefully :)

Hi Sascha

glad you found some *working* devices for rtw88 !

I spend some of the weekend testing your driver submission.

for rtl8821cu devices I get following output

Well, not fully. I had to add [3] = RTW_DEF_RFE(8822c, 0, 0), to the
rtw8822c_rfe_defs array.

Do these chips work with your out of tree variant of this driver?

Is the efuse info completely 0xff or only the field indicating the rfe
option?

Nice. Did you test a rtw8723du device as well?

Most devices in the driver are described as:

	USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(0x0bda, 0xc82c, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff),

This particular one has:

	USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0xc811),

When I use USB_DEVICE() instead of USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO() on my
device then the Wifi driver tries to bind to the bluetooth interface on
the same device which then fails with similar error messages. Maybe you
have to use

	USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(0x0bda, 0xc811, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff)

instead. I could imagine that the plain USB_DEVICE() once worked for you
because the bluetooth driver was faster to probe and only left the Wifi
interface free for the Wifi driver to probe.

I check RFE allocation of 8821c. 255 isn't defined.
If efuse info isn't complete 0xff, try to force RFE 0 to see if it works.

I have a 8723DU module.

With this patchset, it can find AP, but can't estiablish connection.
I check air capture, but no TX packets found.
That says RX works, but TX doesn't.

With master branch of Hans Ulli GitHub, it shows many "atomic scheduling"
warnings when I insert the USB dongle.
When I do 'iw scan', it is going to get stuck, and I can only push
power button to turn off my laptop.

The rtw88 repository has 8723DU support added with:

	initial for RTW8723DU devices

    	not tested, no Device
	Hints are found in rtl8822bu code

No active commits to this file since then, so it's probably not supposed
to work.  Unless somebody comes up with fixes I'll remove support for
this chip for now.

Isn't this racy? What guarantees that vifs are not deleted after
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() call?

The driver mutex &rtwdev->mutex is acquired during the whole
collection/iteration process. For deleting an interface
ieee80211_ops::remove_interface would have to be called, right?
That would acquire &rtwdev->mutex as well, so I think this should be
safe.
