    rtw88: add driver TX queue support · 3745d3e5
    Yan-Hsuan Chuang authored
    The mac80211 provides software TX queue for driver, as long as
    driver has hooked ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue. Each time a
    packet is queued onto the TX queue, that queue will be woken
    up the inform driver to serve the queue.
    
    Now driver only supports PCI interface ICs, there's no specific
    traffic control for each queue, just schedule a tasklet, and
    dump all of the packets at once to the DMA ring. Instead of TX
    the packets whenever TX queue is woke, tasklet handler can have
    more packets dumped to the device, takes advantage of burst
    write with DMA engine.
    
    And if the driver is going to support USB/SDIO ICs, the tasklet
    can be more flexible for aggregating the packets, enhance the
    efficiency of bandwidth usage.
