e247763617 ath25: drop target
ath25 has been on life support for the last couple of releases, eventually
leading to marking it as source-only in 2023.

It has been basically only touched to do a kernel bump so that we can make
the new OpenWrt release which was a challenge due to small RAM amount.

However, with the attempt of kernel 6.1 update it turns out that kernel
cannot even finish booting due to RAM constraints, so its time to let this
target go.

375dd23011 mac80211: only build ath10k with smallbuffers
When both variants of ath10k drivers are selected, any driver that is
selected along is being built twice, one for each ath10k variant.

Avoid these redundant builds by introducing an optional second parameter
to config_package that lists the variants for which the package is to be
built.

If the symbol is to be set for all of the variants, $(ALL_VARIANTS) can
be used.  This is the case for the mac80211 and cfg80211 modules.  If
the parameter is empty, then the module will be selected and thus built
when the first variant is compiled.

ipq807x: rename target to qualcommax
Currently, ipq807x only covers Qualcomm IPQ807x SoC-s.
However, Qualcomm also has IPQ60xx and IPQ50xx SoC-s under the AX WiSoC-s
and they share a lot of stuff with IPQ807x, especially IPQ60xx so to avoid
duplicating kernel patches and everything lets make a common target with
per SoC subtargets.

Start doing that by renaming ipq807x to qualcommax so that dependencies
on ipq807x target can be updated.

35f28f2838 mac80211: add ath11k AHB support
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.

mac80211: add ath11k PCI support
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.

40c2cd8bd0 ath10k: enable encapsulation offload by default
Enable ath10k offload by default. This improves wireless performance
without requiring user configuration.
This adds ath10k_core to the AUTOLOAD section so that the frame_mode
paramter can be added to /etc/modules.d and passed to the driver.
The frame_mode 2 enables ethernet mode on the firmware/driver.
This parameter is set by passing a different value to the frame_mode
value on kmod insmod.

694757a08f kernel: ath10k: provide a build variant for small RAM devices
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].

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.

82a741c774 mac80211: switch to upstream owl-loader driver
The Owl Loader (named after the codename that Atheros gave
these devices back in the day) has been accepted upstream.

This patch removes the "misc" driver OpenWrt had and adds
the remaining differences against the version that ships
with 5.4-rc1 into a separate "120-owl-loader-compat.patch"
file that can be cut down once AR71XX is being dealt with.

Note: I decided to keep the existing (kmod-)owl-loader
package name around for now. The kernel module file in
the kmod package will be called ath9k_pci_owl_loader.ko
though.

The root cause of these warnings is a wrong use of the @SYMBOL dependency
syntax in various Makefile. Fix the corresponding Makefiles by turning
`@SYM||@SYM2` expressions into the proper `@(SYM||SYM2)` form.
