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.

Downloading firmware via BMI protocol takes too long time. For example,
a ~700K bytes firmware takes about 500ms to download via BMI protocol.
This is too long especially in suspend and resume scenario where firmware
is re-downloaded unless WoWLAN is enabled. Downloading firmware via diag CE
can reduce the time to ~40ms for a ~700K bytes firmware binary.
Ath10k driver parses the firmware to segments and downloads the segments
to the specified address directly. If the firmware is compressed or has
unsupported segments, ath10k driver will try BMI download again.
It's tested with QCA6174 hw3.2 and
firmware-6.bin_WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00111-QCARMSWP-1. QCA9377 is also affected.

Len Brown reported the system resume time is taking more than 2 seconds in
bug - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185621.
The reason of the 2 seconds is due to the firmware download time.
The chip is booted up in the default reference clock speed to handle the
firmware download to chip memory and advanced to the support higher speed
clock to run the firmware after all. The default reference clock in the
hardware is slow so that the firmware download time is taking up to 2
seconds for a 600KB firmware file.

[76798.334612] ath10k_pci : htt tx max num pending tx 1056
The resolution here is to enable the higher speed clock if the hardware
supported before the firmware download at BMI stage, so that the hardware
can handle the firmare download in a more efficient way. This can help to
improve the firmware download time from 2 seconds to around 500ms for the
same 600KB firmware file.

The steps to advance to the higher speed clock is very hardware specific,
so adding the hardware ops for the hardware that can support this.

With the %pK format specifier we hide the kernel addresses
with the help of kptr_restrict sysctl.
In this patch, %p is changed to %pK in the driver code.
The sysctl is documented in Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt.

It's just cleaner to have separate argument for the parameter and result. Also
fix returned error value if response length is invalid.

Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.
The wiki page for the driver is:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k
The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:
