Like how TX reclaim is done in a tasklet, move receive processing
to tasklet context as well. This can have nice benefits for CPU
utilisation and throughput, especially at 3-stream rates.
(Use the same CLEAR_SEL trick as the TX reclaim tasklet does, to
avoid having to touch the interrupt mask registers.)

By making use of the CLEAR_SEL feature of the mwl8k host interface
interrupt controller, we can keep the TX_DONE interrupt source masked
while the transmit reclaim tasklet is running (NAPI style) without
having to touch the interrupt controller's interrupt mask register
when entering or exiting polling mode, and without having to do any
more register reads/writes than we do now.
When CLEAR_SEL is enabled on the TX_DONE interrupt source, reading
the interrupt status register will clear the TX_DONE status bit if
it was set, allowing it to be set again if a new TX_DONE event arrives
while we are running the TX reclaim tasklet, but such a new event will
then not trigger another PCI interrupt until a zero is written to the
TX_DONE interrupt status register bit.
I.e., if we write a zero to the TX_DONE interrupt source bit in the
interrupt status register when the TX reclaim tasklet thinks it's
done, a PCI interrupt will be triggered if a new TX_DONE event arrived
from the hardware between us deciding that there is no more work to do
and re-enabling the TX_DONE interrupt source, thereby avoiding the
classic NAPI poll mode exit race that would otherwise occur.

While it is reasonable to expect that at least one transmit ring entry
will be processed per second while we are waiting for the transmit
rings to drain, the firmware can end up doing batching of transmit ring
status writeback, which means that the transmit rings can appear stuck
for more than a second at a time.
Bump the TX drain wait timeout up from 1 to 5 seconds to account for
this.

For STA firmware, move the per-peer hardware station ID to the
driver-private part of struct ieee80211_sta, where it belongs.
(Since issuing a hardware station database maintenance command sleeps,
we can't hold a reference to the ieee80211_sta * across the command,
and since we won't know the station ID until after the command
completes, we need to re-lookup the sta when the command is done to
write the returned station ID back to its driver-private part.)

The receive descriptor ops that are currently marked as being for
8687 only are actually used for all STA firmware images, whereas the
receive descriptor ops marked as 8366 are only used on 8366 when an
AP firmware image is in use.
Rename the receive descriptor ops to reflect this, use the STA ops
unconditionally if the firmware image loaded reported the STA ready
code, and rename the mwl8k_device_info::rxd_ops member to ap_rxd_ops
to indicate that it should only be used if we are running on AP

The time between loading the helper image and starting to upload the
main firmware image should be at least 5 ms or so. We were doing an
msleep(1) before, and 1 ms appears to not be enough in almost all
cases, but building with HZ=100 has always masked this so far. Bumping
the msleep argument to 5 fixes firmware loading e.g. when HZ=1000.
Some firmware images need more than 200ms to initialize. Bump the
ready code timeout to 500ms to accommodate for this.

Before issuing any firmware commands, we wait for the transmit rings
to drain, to prevent control versus data path synchronization issues.
In some cases, this can end up taking longer than the current hardcoded
limit of 5 seconds, for example if the transmit rings are filled with
packets for a host that has dropped off the air and we end up
retransmitting every pending packet at the lowest rate a couple of
times.
This patch changes mwl8k_tx_wait_empty() to only bail out on timeout
expiry if there was no change in the number of packets pending in the
transmit rings during the waiting period. If at least one transmit
ring entry was reclaimed while we were waiting, we are apparently still
making progress, and we'll allow waiting for another timeout period.
