d91318662d ath9k: nvmem for ath9k caldata
With "getting WIFI MAC from NVMEM" working on ath79 on 5.10,
the next logical step I think is to utilize nvmem subsystem
to also get the calibration data from there.

This will tremendously speed up the wifi bring-up, since
we no longer need the userspace helper for the simple
devices that can just load them from there.

included with this patch is a package/mac80211/refresh.

Tested on: WNDR3700v2, TP-Link Archer C7v2

The removed patches were applied upstream.
This backports version 5.11.22 and later does not support kernel
versions < 4.4, this allows us to remove some patches too.

3394af677c mac80211: split ath patch in dedicated subdir
The ath patch number is already large and adding other patch for ath11k
will add more confusion with the patch numbering.
Since the support of ath11k based device is imminent, prepare the mac80211
ath patch dir and split it in the dedicated ath5k, ath9k, ath10k and ath11k
(empty for now).
