With preparation before, this patchset can enable 8851BE eventually.
Thanks for the review, Kalle.

The first four patches are to add remaining chip_ops and chip_info.
Patch 5/7 is to extend debugfs entry of read_reg to have ability to read
wider length of registers. Patch 6/7 is to enable a firmware feature, and
other features like hardware scan aren't verified completely, so I defer
to enable them later because current version can still work fine.

The last patch 7/7 is to modify Kconfig and Makefile to enable 8851BE.

I received samples of the RTW8851BE and the preliminary version of these patches 
one week ago. I tested with that code for 4 days, and then switched to this 
version when it was posted here. During the nearly 7 days of testing, I found no 
major issues. The connection was stable with a local LibreSpeed server and 
Speedtest.net both showing 400-500 Mbps up and down. The connection was to an 
ax1500 AP using the 5G band.
