To prepare the driver for MLO support, split the driver vif data structure to
scale for multiple links. This requires changing the use of arvif to per link
and not per hw which can now comprise of multiple links. Also since most
configurations from mac80211 are done per link, do refactoring of the driver
functions to apply these configurations at link level.
Split ath12k_vif which is the driver private of ieee80211_vif to store link
specific information as ath12k_link_vif. For default use cases the ath12k vif
will have a preallocated link vif called deflink which will be used by non ML
and the first link vif of ML vif.
With MLO support to be added, remaining link vifs will be allocated during
channel assignment where vdev create/start happens. These link vifs will be
freed during interface down.
Current ath12k_vif(arvif) structure

The new ath12k_vif (ahvif) containing ath12k_link_vif(s) (arvif) (deflink is
preallocated member which is always the first link if ieee80211_vif is MLD and
is the only link otherwise):

To refactor existing ath12k_vif to make use of link vifs, following
changes are made:
1. ath12k_vif now called by variable name ahvif storing multiple
arvifs (struct ah12k_link_vif) and also has a back pointer to ieee80211_vif.
2. In this patch set, only deflink is used to be on par with the
existing code. When MLO support is added the link id will be used to fetch
the arvif.
3. For mac80211 ops which doesn't use specific link_id, the config or info
is common for the vif, hence apply the config to all link vifs.
The links_map in the ahvif, will be used to identify all the link vifs that
are setup.
4. Change ath12k_vif_to_arvif() as ath12k_vif_to_ahvif() to fetch the
hw level vif. The link vif can be fetched from ahvif->link[], or the
deflink can be accessed via ahvif->deflink. API to access link
vif (arvif) by passing link_id can be introduced with MLO Support.
5. The ieee80211_vif can be accessed from ahvif using ath12k_ahvif_to_vif().
The locking continues to use wiphy_lock() for protecting access to most data in
struct ath12k&co, there are no changes in that regard. Though struct
ath12k_vif::link[] is protected with RCU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
