iwlwifi: mvm: support bss dynamic alloc/dealloc of queues
"DQA" is shorthand for "dynamic queue allocation". This
enables on-demand allocation of queues per RA/TID rather than
statically allocating per vif, thus allowing a potential
benefit of various factors.
Please refer to the DOC section this patch adds to sta.h to
see a more in-depth explanation of this feature.
There are many things to take into consideration when working
in DQA mode, and this patch is only one in a series. Note that
default operation mode is non-DQA mode, unless the FW
indicates that it supports DQA mode.
This patch enables support of DQA for a station connected to
an AP, and works in a non-aggregated mode.
When a frame for an unused RA/TID arrives at the driver, it
isn't TXed immediately, but deferred first until a suitable
queue is first allocated for it, and then TXed by a worker
that both allocates the queues and TXes deferred traffic.
When a STA is removed, its queues goes back into the queue
pools for reuse as needed.
