The default credit size is 1792 bytes, but the IP mtu is 1500 bytes,
then it has about 290 bytes's waste for each data packet on sdio
transfer path for TX bundle, it will reduce the transmission utilization
ratio for data packet.
This patch enable the small credit size in firmware, firmware will use
the new credit size 1556 bytes, it will increase the transmission
utilization ratio for data packet on TX patch. It results in significant
performance improvement on TX path.
This patch only effect sdio chip, it will not effect PCI, SNOC etc.

The transmission utilization ratio for sdio bus for small packet is
slow, because the space and time cost for sdio bus is same for large
length packet and small length packet. So the speed of data for large
length packet is higher than small length.
Test result of different length of data:
data packet(byte) cost time(us) calculated rate(Mbps)

This patch change the TX packet from single packet to a large length
bundle packet, max size is 32, it results in significant performance

For sdio chip, it is high latency bus, all the TX packet's content will
be tranferred from HOST memory to firmware memory via sdio bus, then it
need much more memory in firmware than low latency bus chip, for low
latency chip, such as PCI-E, it only need to transfer the TX descriptor
via PCI-E bus to firmware memory. For sdio chip, reduce the complexity of
TX logic will help TX efficiency since its memory is limited, and it will
reduce the TX circle's time of each packet and then firmware will have more
memory for TX since TX complete also need memeory.
This patch disable TX complete indication from firmware for htt data
packet, it will not have TX complete indication from firmware to ath10k.
It will cut the cost of bus bandwidth of TX complete and make the TX
logic of firmware simpler, it results in significant performance
improvement on TX path.
Udp TX throughout is 130Mbps without this patch, and it arrives
400Mbps with this patch.
The downside of this patch is the command "iw wlan0 station dump" will
show 0 for "tx retries" and "tx failed" since all tx packet's status
is success.
This patch only effect sdio chip, it will not effect PCI, SNOC etc.

For max bundle size 32, the bundle mask is not same with 8/16.
Change it to match the max bundle size of htc. Otherwise it
will not match with firmware, for example, when bundle count
is 17, then flags of ath10k_htc_hdr is 0x4, if without this
patch, it will be considered as non-bundled packet because it
does not have mask 0xF0, then trigger error message later:
payload length 56747 exceeds max htc length: 4088.
htc->max_msgs_per_htc_bundle is the min value of
HTC_HOST_MAX_MSG_PER_RX_BUNDLE and
msg->ready_ext.max_msgs_per_htc_bundle of ath10k_htc_wait_target,
it will be sent to firmware later in ath10k_htc_start, then
firmware will use it as the final max rx bundle count, in
WLAN.RMH.4.4.1-00029, msg->ready_ext.max_msgs_per_htc_bundle
is 32, it is same with HTC_HOST_MAX_MSG_PER_RX_BUNDLE, so the
final max rx bundle count will be set to 32 in firmware.
This patch only effect sdio chips.

The max bundle size support by firmware is 32, change it from 8 to 32
will help performance. This results in significant performance
improvement on RX path.
The real max rx bundle is decided in ath10k_htc_wait_target(),
it is the min value of HTC_HOST_MAX_MSG_PER_RX_BUNDLE and the value reported
from firmware. So this change shouldn't cause any regressions with other
hardware supported by ath10k.

ath10k maintains common txqs list for all stations. This txq
management can be removed by migrating to mac80211 txq APIs
and let mac80211 handle txqs reordering based on reported airtime.
By doing this, txq fairness maintained in ath10k i.e processing
N frames per txq is removed. By adapting to mac80211 APIs,
ath10k will support mac80211 based airtime fairness algorithm.

The hardcoded values used in ath10k_mac_tx_push_pending and
ath10k_mac_op_wake_tx_queue set an upper limit of how many packets that
can be consumed from the TX queue.
HTC_HOST_MAX_MSG_PER_TX_BUNDLE is a proper name for this constant, as
the value effectively limits the number of messages that can be consumed
in one step. Thus, the value is an upper limit of the number of messages
that can be added to a TX message bundle.
