For RX, it has two parts, one is to read data from sdio, another
is to indicate the packets to upper stack. Recently it has only
one thread to do all RX things, it results that it is sequential
for RX and low throughout, change RX to parallel for the two parts
will increase throughout.
This patch move the indication to a workqueue, it results in
significant performance improvement on RX path.
Udp rx throughout is 200Mbps without this patch, and it arrives
400Mbps with this patch.

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.

The existing implementation of initiating multiple sdio transfers for
receive bundling is slowing down the receive speed. Combining the
transfers using a bundle method would be ideal.
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:

Use SPDX identifiers everywhere in ath10k.
Makefile was incorrectly marked in commit b24413180f ("License cleanup: add
SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license"), fix that as well.

This define is only used for RX bundling so it is more descriptive if
RX is added to the define-name.

irq_wq in struct ath10k_sdio is a remnant from an earlier
version of the sdio patchset.
Its use was removed as a result of Kalle's review, but somehow
the struct member survived.
It is not used and can therefore safely be removed.

Chipsets like QCA6584 have support for SDIO so add initial SDIO bus support to
ath10k. With this patch we have the low level HTC protocol working and it's
possible to boot the firmware, but it's still not possible to connect or
anything like. More changes are needed for full functionality. For that reason
we print during initialisation:
WARNING: ath10k SDIO support is incomplete, don't expect anything to work!
