iwlwifi: mvm: Refactor and fix max probe len computation
Move iwl_mvm_max_scan_ie_len function to scan.c and fix the
implementation to conform with the LMAC scan API.
Since the correct implementation would leave us with unacceptably
tiny probes, add a workaround which returns a larger value.
In current implementation it's possible that unified_scan_lmac and
unified_sched_scan_lmac would return -ENOBUFS.

iwlwifi: mvm: rs: fix logic in case of multiple TIDs
In case of traffic on multiple TIDs where one is aggregated
and the other is not RS would toggle between considering
traffic vs. the station as aggregated and not aggregated.
Instead consider the sta state as aggregated as long as
there's at least one TID aggregated.
This limitation is because the rates table is kept per
station and not per TID.
Currently BA notifications which don't reclaim any frames
would not cause the RS to be called as no skbs are passed
to mac80211. This is not optimal as RS can benefit from the
statistics of sent vs. acked of such a BA. This can improve the
reaction time of the RS algorithm. Also, an upcoming change in
the firmware would cause BA timeout to be reported as a BA notif
with 0 acked so this change is required for that as well.
iwlwifi: mvm: limit aggregation size in low latency to 6
This is a tradeoff between enabling better throughput for
bursty traffic and low latency. The number 6 was found to be
a good tradeoff for the Miracast use case which is the
major use case for low latency.
iwlwifi: mvm: rs: refactor to allow direct rs updating
Enable RS to get updated directly via iwl_mvm_rs_tx_status
which will be called by the driver and not via mac80211
rate control. This is required for a following patch to
report on BAs which do not cause the BA window to progress.
Also this is a first step in decoupling rs from the
mac80211 rate control.

The scheduler is a HW sub-block that directs the work of the Flow
Handler by issuing requests for frame transfers, specifying source

The driver has some responsibilities to the scheduler, namely
initialising and maintaining the hardware registers. This is

with the firmware also accessing the registers.
To address this problem, change the driver to no longer directly
access the registers but go through the firmware for this if the
