That was a workaround for OpenWrt generation of config files. This patch
was used to postpone returning from probe function until loading
firmware and calling register_wiphy().
All of that is not needed anymore thanks to the ieee80211 hotplug.d
script introduced in the commit 5f8f8a3661 ("base-files, mac80211,
broadcom-wl: wifi detection and configuration"). That takes care of
generating /etc/config/wireless entries even if wireless device appears
late in the booting process.

This is the follow up to the PCI support commit now providing support for
AHB variant as well, though currently only for ipq807x as that is only
OpenWrt supported SoC ath11k supports as well.
Currently, we are disabling coldboot calibration on ipq807x as it does not
work, there is a remoteproc bug that makes it come late out of reset so
disable coldboot until that is fixed.
Also, as ath11k is quite memory hungry, we are introducing a config option
to use the limits for 512MB of RAM, similar to what QCA does downstream but
in way simpler and cleaner way so that 512MB save some RAM.
512MB profile is also set as the default for now.

ath11k is the upstream driver for Qualcomm 802.11ax radios, both for the
internal AHB and PCI based cards.
This commit does however only provide PCI support while AHB will follow
but its SoC specific so it will require an OpenWrt target first.
It differs a bit from ath10k as it requires stuff like QRTR, MHI and QMI
helpers.
PCI variant requires qrtr-mhi and mhi-bus which backports do provide,
however we are dropping those in a patch as they will conflict with
support for the AHB variant as that one requires qrtr-smd which in turn
requires RPMSG and GLINK and its not feasable to provide those in
backports as they are really SoC specific.
QRTR and MHI in kernel 5.10 are not usable and backporting the changes
is not easy as they have changed drastically from 5.10 to 5.15 ath11k will
only be available on targets that use kernel 5.15.

Get rid of drivers that are either limited to 802.11b/g or don't even support
cfg80211/mac80211. Most of these are either limited to boards that we don't even
support anymore because of firmware size, or were only used for custom hacks by
a really small number of users in the past.
Let's get rid of those to reduce the maintenance effort and the number of useless

Based on: 1ac627024d ("kernel: ath10k-ct: provide a build variant for
small RAM devices")
Like described in the ath10k-ct-smallbuffers version, oom-killer gets
triggered frequently by devices with small RAM.
That change is necessary for many community mesh networks which use
ath10k based devices with too little RAM. The -ct driver has been
proven unstable if used with 11s meshing and only wave2 chipsets are
supporting 11s. Freifunk Berlin is nowadays assembling its
firmware-based completely of vanilla OpenWRT with some package additions
which are made through the imagebuilder. Therefore we cannot take the
approach other freifunk communities have taken to maintain that patch
downstream [1]. Other communities consider these devices as broken and
that change would pretty much give those devices a second life [2].

When compiling with CONFIG_USE_RFKILL=y, the build fails and mentions that
dependency on kmod-rfkill is missing, which is correct [1]. Add this
dependency to the Makefile.
Depend on +USE_RFKILL and not PACKAGE_kmod-rfkill, because it forces
selection of kmod-rfkill package. Other combinations in DEPENDS like
USE_RFKILL:kmod-rfkill or (+)PACKAGE_kmod-rfkill:kmod-rfkill do not force
selection of kmod-rfkill package.
The kmod-rfkill package itself depends on USE_RFKILL, so with +USE_RFKILL
in kmod-cfg80211 package it is not possible to select wrong combination of
packages.

802.11w feature is always enabled in the build time.
It doesn't make sense to opt-in 802.11w per driver as hostapd will always
be compiled with this feature enabled.
As suggested by Hauke Mehrtens, for now keep 11w enabled in build_features.h
for compatibility reasons. This option will be dropped when LuCI is adjusted.
