ath10k-ct: Update wave-1 and wave-2 firmware to latest.

Browse source 
This updates to latest ath10k-ct firmware.  Hopefully we are
at the end of the development cycle for this firmware release,
so these should be stable.

wave-1 changes since last release:

Release 20

  *  Allow flushing peer when deleting.  Hopefully this will allow the
     peer delete command to happen in a reasonable amount of time even
     if the RF environment is busy (or peer has died).
     To enable this, set the high flag in the mac-addr second word in the
     ath10k driver near end of the ath10k_wmi_op_gen_peer_delete method:

     cmd->peer_macaddr.word1 |= __cpu_to_le32(0x80000000);

  *  Attempt to fix crash seen in resmgr-ocs, appearantly due to list corruption.
     Use a temporary list instead of trying to rely on for-each-safe.

  *  Add flag to tx-descriptor to allow driver to request no-ack on data
     frames.  This is bit 15 on the flag1 field (previously un-used).

  *  Add option to support specifying the tx-rate-code and retry count on
     a per-packet basis.  Only a single series is supported at this time.
     Useful mainly for radiotap monitor-tx type testing at this point.

  *  Fix crash on startup when chip is at -40 deg C and calibration fails.  Instead
     of asserting, just keep retrying calibration, which appears to start working
     after a few minutes (when the chip warms up).

  *  Allow reporting per-chain rssi for management frames.  We pack the values into
     empty space in the mgt-frame wmi header.  This will only be enabled if the driver
     requests it, since otherwise the driver is assumed to not understand the new API.
     ath10k-ct drivers that support this feature will automatically enable it.

  *  A customer reports a case that appears to be the hardware not properly detecting
     end of AMPDU, so frames were being mis-delivered to the wrong peer.  Attempt to
     work around this, and in doing so, clean up a bunch of void* abuse in the block-ack
     reordering code (could not ever confirm there was a problem in this area).

  *  Re-work the rx-mem logic to be less complicated and to use less memory.

  *  Attempt to fix crash that appearanty happens because the driver can sometimes
     delete a vdev in 'up' state.

  *  Attempt to fix hung scan state machine issues.

  *  Fix crash in tx path due to un-initialized memory.

wave-2 changes since last release:

Release 10

  *  Fix an assert related to tx scheduling.  This hopefully fixes
     what appears to be a regression that I added some time back.

  *  Enable CSI reporting for 9984, and maybe 9888/9886.  Only in
     non-trimmed builds.

  *  Other stability improvements, including regression fixes from
     some tricky bugs introduced in earlier releases.

  *  Allow compiling for IPQ4019 chipset.

  *  Firmware will now send txbf frames to the host (driver) if the
     TXBF (0xF00000001) set-special feature is enabled, or when the radio
     is in monitor mode.  But, if the frame is consumed by the txbf_cv
     logic, then the pkt cannot be delivered to the host in this manner.  Instead,
     a WMI event will be sent and host can find the txbf_cv data in shared
     memory.  See ath10k_wmi_event_txbf_cv_mesg() in ath10k-ct driver.

  *  Support rx-all-mgt option.  When enabled, the firmware will deliver all
     management frames that it can to the host.  No RX filters are changed
     when this option is enabled.

  *  Fix at least some problems with sending tx-beamforming frames to SU-MIMO
     peers.  Looks like this was a regression in my code.

  *  Fix a crash in rate-ctrl due to nss mismatch.  This was something I introduced
     while trying to fix other bugs in rate-ctrl some time back.

  *  Attempt to fix a sw-peer-key object leak in IBSS mode.  The peer key code
     is very complex, and shares some pointers as union members.  I think I fixed
     at least some of the issues, but would not be surprised if more exist.

  *  Improve ath10k user guide to document CT firmware features:
     https://www.candelatech.com/ath10k-ug.php

  *  Add ct-special option to configure the txbf sounding time.  See ath10k-ug.php

  *  Fix and allow the driver to tell the firmware to send sounding frames.  See ath10k-ug.php
     In further testing, this seems to fail much of the time, and I am not sure why.
     Disabling this in diet (trimmed) builds.

  *  Fix crashes related to deleting peers while they are in power-save mode.  Reported
     by LEDE user on r7800 with 9984 NIC.
  *  Make rate-ctrl txbf probe work better.  If enabled, the rate-ctrl logic will periodically
     send out probes at an NSS that can to txbf.  Previously, txbf probes would not reliably happen
     if both AP and peer had the same nss (ie, 2x2 talking to 2x2).  To enable this feature, you
     need to enable the fwtest-cmdid number 20.

  *  Report rx-timeout error counters.  These were previously un-reported, though the
     field existed in the wmi struct already.

  *  txbf:  Ignore frames not destined for us.  If NIC is in promisc mode, it
     could acquire and process NDPA frames that were not destined for it.  Check
     the dest-MAC and ignore frames not for us (pass them up the stack for monitor
     mode instead of save them in the peer's rate-ctrl logic.)

  *  Port ping-pong crash handling and othe related features to IPQ4019 target.  It should
     now act similar to 9984 in this regard.

  *  Fix a few asserts related to txbf and tx-seq logic.

  *  Add custom-stats support, for rx-reorder-stats.  Similar to what I did for wave-1.

  *  Disable AMSDU for IBSS.  This now matches what I did for peregrine.  It seems to
     work better this way, though I did not debug it in detail.

  *  Enable the set-special command to re-enable AMSDU for IBSS if user wants to experiment.

  *  Fix bug where dbglog did not disable IRQs, so if you made dbglog messages from the IRQ
     handler, it could cause corruption that could crash the firmware and/or corrupt the log
     message buffers.

  *  Don't assert if there are no buffer descriptors for RX of non-data frame.

  *  Retry any stuck block-ack sessions every 20 seconds instead of just disabling BA for
     ever when we get too many failures.

  *  Fix SGI flag when reporting tx-rate info.  The flag moved since wave-1 days, and
     I did not notice that when I ported my changes forward to wave-2.

  *  Allow disabling special CCA handling for IBSS txqs.  Earlier testing indicated this
     might improve throughput in some testing on 9984 chips in IBSS mode, but subsequent
     testing looks about the same without it.  Since I do not really understand what this
     setting exists for, leave it at upstream defaults.  A new set-special API command (0x12)
     can be used to enable this hack for testing.  Setting 0x1 bit disables special CCA handling
     for non-beacon IBSS txqs, setting 0x2 bit disables it for beacon queues as well.

  *  Add MCAST-BCAST feature flag.  This tells driver we do not need a monitor interface
     to do MESH.

  *  When calculating the rx-address filter (affects ACK & BLOCK-ACK, among other things),
     to not add in monitor interfaces if other interfaces are up.  There is no need for
     a monitor device to ACK frames.
