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.
