P Praneesh f951380a60 ath11k: Disabling credit flow for WMI path
Firmware credit flow control is enabled for WMI control services,
which expects available tokens should be acquired before sending a
command to the target. Also the token gets released when firmware
receives the command.

This credit-based flow limits driver to send WMI command only
when the token available which is causing WMI commands to timeout and
return -EAGAIN, whereas firmware has enough capability to process the
WMI command. To fix this Tx starvation issue, introduce the ability to
disable the credit flow for the WMI path.

The driver sends WMI configuration for disabling credit flow to firmware
by two ways.
	1. By using a global flag
		(HTC_MSG_SETUP_COMPLETE_EX_ID msg type flags)
	2. By using a local flag
		(ATH11K_HTC_CONN_FLAGS_DISABLE_CREDIT_FLOW_CTRL = 1 << 3)

Ath11k uses both these configurations to disable credit flow for the
WMI path completely.

Also added a hw_param member for credit flow control by which we can
enable or disable it based on per-target basis. Currently we are disabling
credit flow for IPQ8074, IPQ6018, and QCN9074 as recommended by firmware.

Tested-on: IPQ8074 hw2.0 AHB WLAN.HK.2.4.0.1-01492-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Tested-on: IPQ6018 hw1.0 AHB WLAN.HK.2.4.0.1-00330-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

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 Restructured Text 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.
