This backports encap offload support from upstream.
On some ath10k devices there can be about 10% improvement on tx throughput.
Users can turn it on by setting frame_mode=2.

Some ath10k IPQ40xx devices like the MikroTik hAP ac2 and ac3 require the
BDF-s to be extracted from the device storage instead of shipping packaged
API 2 BDF-s.
This is required as MikroTik has started shipping boards that require BDF-s
to be updated, as otherwise their WLAN performance really suffers.
This is however impossible as the devices that require this are release under
the same revision and its not possible to differentiate them from devices
using the older BDF-s.
In OpenWrt we are extracting the calibration data during runtime and we are
able to extract the BDF-s in the same manner, however we cannot package the
BDF-s to API 2 format on the fly and can only use API 1 to provide BDF-s on
the fly.
This is an issue as the ath10k driver explicitly looks only for the board.bin
file and not for something like board-bus-device.bin like it does for pre-cal
data.
Due to this we have no way of providing correct BDF-s on the fly, so lets
extend the ath10k driver to first look for BDF-s in the board-bus-device.bin
format, for example: board-ahb-a800000.wifi.bin
If that fails, look for the default board file name as defined previously.
So, backport the upstream ath10k patch.

This updates mac80211 to version 5.15.33-1 which is based on kernel
5.15.33.
The removed patches were applied upstream.
This new release contains many fixes which were merged into the upstream
Linux kernel.
This also contains the following new drivers which are needed for ath11k:
* net/qrtr/
* drivers/bus/mhi/

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].

In the current state, nvmem cells are only detected on platform device.
To quickly fix the problem, we register the affected problematic driver
with the of_platform but that is more an hack than a real solution.
Backport from net-next the required patch so that nvmem can work also
with non-platform devices and rework our current patch.
Drop the mediatek and dsa workaround and rework the ath10k patches.
Rework every driver that use the of_get_mac_address api.

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).
