Brings lots of driver updates and API changes needed for mt76 updates.
Disable iwlwifi and ath11k on 5.15, since backport is too difficult,
and the only remaining targets won't need those drivers.

Some local patches have been sent to upstream and they are slightly
different from the upstream version. So it's better to replace them
to avoid conflicts with the new mac80211 backport driver. The
different parts have been merged into patch 996.
This commit also includes some additional fixes:
* Fix watchdog function.
* Improve MT7620 register initialization.
* Introduce DMA busy watchdog for rt2800.
P.S.
Sometimes rt2800 series chips may fall into a DMA busy state. The
tx queues become very slow and the client cannot connect to the AP.
Usually, We can see a lot of hostapd warnings at this point:
'hostapd: IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response'
The DMA busy watchdog can help the driver automatically recover
from this abnormal state. By the way, setting higer 'cell_density'
and disabling 'disassoc_low_ack' can significantly reduce the
probability of the DMA busy.

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

Make sure RF5592 is set for RT5592 chip which apparently sometimes
doesn't have RF defined (but always comes with RF5592).
This patch was originally submitted on linux-wireless by
Tom Psyborg <pozega.tomislav@gmail.com> but got rejected.
Turns out the patch is actually needed.

Hence remove errornous line 5281 to make the driver actually
execute the correct initialization routine for MT7620 chips.
As it was requested by Stanislaw Gruszka remove setting values of
MIMO_PS_CFG and TX_PIN_CFG. MIMO_PS_CFG is responsible for MIMO
power-safe mode (which is disabled), hence we can drop setting it.
TX_PIN_CFG is set correctly in other functions, and as setting this
value breaks some devices, rather don't set it here during init, but
only modify it later on.

This reverts commit 9ad3b55654455258a9463384edb40077439d879f.
As reported by Sergey:
"I got some problem after upgrade kernel to 5.2 version (debian testing
linux-image-5.2.0-2-amd64). 5Ghz client stopped to see AP.
Some tests with 1metre distance between client-AP: 2.4Ghz -22dBm, for
5Ghz - 53dBm !, for longer distance (8m + walls) 2.4 - 61dBm, 5Ghz not
visible."
It was identified that rx signal level degradation was caused by
9ad3b5565445 ("rt2800: enable TX_PIN_CFG_LNA_PE_ bits per band").
So revert this commit.

To do not brake HW restart we should keep initialization vectors data.
I assumed that on start the data is already initialized to zeros, but
that not true on some scenarios and we should clear it. So add
additional flag to check if we are under HW restart and clear IV's
data if we are not.
Patch fixes AP mode regression.

This updates mac80211 to version 5.2-rc7, this contains all the changes
to the wireless subsystem up to Linux 5.2-rc7.
* The removed patches are applied upstream
* b43 now uses kmod-lib-cordic
* Update the nl80211.h file in iw to match backports version.
* Remove the two backports from kernel 4.9, they were needed for mt76,
but that can use the version from backports now, otherwise they
collide and cause compile errors.
