Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.
With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.
To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.
For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.
For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.
Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.
Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.

When fixing the initialization race, we neglected to account for
the fact that debugfs is initialized in wiphy_register(), and
some debugfs things went missing (or rather were rerooted to the
global debugfs root).
Fix this by adding debugfs entries only after wiphy_register().
This requires some changes in the rate control code since it
currently adds debugfs at alloc time, which can no longer be
done after the reordering.

NSS is a argument of highest rate in RC, and it occupies bit 4-7 so use
ieee80211_rate_set_vht() to fill the values. Since it got correct rate
index, we don't need to check chips to assign NSS in set function anymore.

rtlwifi: Remove unnecessary 'out of memory' message."), and commit log
is reserved below.
Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error
are generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and
a stack dump done by the memory subsystem.
These messages generally increase kernel size without much
added value.

Smatch reports the following warning:

drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rc.c:144 _rtl_rc_rate_set_series() warn: impossible condition '(wireless_mode == 256) => (0-255 == 256)'
This warning arises because commit acc6907b87a9 ("rtlwifi: Fix warning
from ieee80211_get_tx_rates() when using 5G") now checks the wireless
mode for WIRELESS_MODE_AC_ONLY (BIT(8)) in _rtl_rc_rate_set_series().
As a result, all quantities used to store the wireless mode must be u16.
This patch also reorders struct rtl_sta_info to save a little space.

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,
it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories
rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory
structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are
visable to the user.
