Statistics should be collected according to the actual rate a
frame/aggregation was transmitted and not according to the initial rate
from the last LQ command (these rates are different if the frames were
retransmitted at a lower rate from the rate scale table).
This is needed to remove throughput degradation.

Up until now, the driver was comparing the rate reported by the FW and
the rate of the latest LQ command to avoid processing data belonging
to the old LQ command. Recently, FW changed the meaning of the initial
rate field in tx response and it holds the actual rate (which is not
necessarily the initial rate of LQ's rate table). Use instead LQ cmd
color to be able to filter out tx responses/BA notifications which
where sent during earlier LQ commands' time frame.
This fixes some throughput degradation in noisy environments.

In https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177341 Bob
reported a UBSAN WARNING on rs.c in iwldvm.
Fix the same bug in iwlmvm.
This because
i = index - 1;
for (mask = (1 << i); i >= 0; i--, mask >>= 1)
is unsafe: i could be negative and hence we can call <<
on a negative value.
This bug doesn't have any real impact since the condition
of the for loop will prevent any usage of mask.

This fix removes calls to iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac &
iwl_mvm_vif_from_mac. They are both accessors, and do not have any
side-effects. Commit e621c2282e ("iwlwifi: rs: Remove workaround

P2P, 'mvmvif' was used for that workaround, but not removed with it.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

Klocwork is unhappy as ht_vht_rates might be accessed with
rate->index being set to values between 0 and 3 which will
lead to accessing uninitialized array elements. Effectively this
doesn't happen as in HT/VHT we're not using these rate indices.
Still fix this.

These are a few fixes for the current cycle.
3 out of the 5 patches fix a bugzilla.
* fix a race that users reported when we try to load the firmware
and the hardware rfkill interrupt triggers at the same time.
* Luca fixes a very visible bug in scheduled scan: our firmware
doesn't support scheduled scan with no profile configured and
the supplicant sometimes requests such scheduled scans.
* build system fix
* firmware name update for 8265
* typo fix in return value

FW behaviour changed and now updates driver about the used TPC
reduction in the following cases:
1. In tx response, which is used mostly for a single frame case
2. In BA notification
When tx aggregation fails with the initial rate, FW will send
to the driver BA notification and will try to transmit with the
next rate, but this time without tx power reduction. Thus, in case
of a failure with the initial rate, driver will get two BA notifications,
the first one with reduced tx power as in the LQ command and the second
one with 0 power reduction.
This patch adapts the TPC statistics according to the description above:
1. Use BA notifications instead of Tx response
2. For TPC only, drop the optimization which considers empty BA as one
MPDU. The reason is that with TPC we want to recover very quickly from
a bad power reduction and, therefore we'd like the success ratio to get
an immediate hit when failing to get a BA, so we'd switch back to a
lower or zero power reduction
