To support multi link operation (MLO), need to move from the multi wiphy
model to a single wiphy model. However, the single wiphy model allows
multiple link/radio to be exposed by the same mac80211 hw. So introduce
a new container (ath12k_hw) structure. This approach improves scalability
for future multi link operation support.

v2:
 - Rebased on pending branch as per jeff comments

In the pending branch I made changes to this patchset due to my changes
in the dependency patchsets:
