Move files built as part of ath12k.ko from wifi7 directory to ath12k_wifi7.ko.
Export necessary symbols from ath12k.ko and remove redundant exports from
the wifi7 directory, as they are no longer needed.

As part of data path modularization of device object framework, the per packet
tx/rx operations now use ath12k_dp. Move all the device stats 'device_stats'
from ath12k_base to ath12k_dp, consolidating all device stats within ath12k_dp.
This would improve the performance by allowing the datapath to reach to the
stats counters without to having to reach out to ath12k_base object.

Split the ath12k driver into two kernel modules:
- ath12k.ko for shared logic across multiple targets
- ath12k_wifi7.ko for Wi-Fi 7 specific configuration and routines
The common module (ath12k.ko) must be loaded prior to any device-specific
module, as the latter depends on exported symbols from the former.
As part of this restructuring, Wi-Fi 7 specific files are moved into a
dedicated `wifi7/` directory and built as a separate module. Common
symbols are exported accordingly, with further adjustments planned
in upcoming patches to support architecture-dependent separation.
This modularization improves maintainability and scalability by enabling
clean separation of hardware-specific logic from the shared driver core.

There might be instances where ath12k_dbg() is needed, but access to
struct ath12k_base (ab) is not readily available. To address this, add
support to print the debug message using printk() when ab is not present.
To avoid the need to explicitly pass NULL each time, introduce a new macro
ath12k_generic_dbg() which resolves to ath12k_dbg() with ab set to NULL.

The current implementation includes a debug mask check both in the macro
expansion and in the function __ath12k_dbg(), which is unnecessary.
Simplify the code by removing the redundant check from the helper function
__ath12k_dbg().
While at this, rename the first argument in macro from ar to ab since the
first argument name in the function __ath12k_dbg() is ab.

In the following patch we need to use ath12k_warn() but don't easily have
access to struct ath12k_base (ab) but do have access to struct ath12k_hw (ah).
So add a new warning helper ath12_hw_warn() which takes the latter but the log
output is still identical but uses the struct device pointer stored to struct
ath12k_hw.

In ath12k the debug messages were broken, no matter setting what value to the
debug_mask module parameter would not get the debug messages printed. The issue
is that __ath12k_dbg() uses dev_dbg() to print the debug messages which requires either enabling
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG or DEBUG symbol in the driver.
ath12k is supposed to use debug_mask module to control whether debug messages
are printed or not. Using both CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG and debug_mask parameter
does not make any sense so switch to using dev_printk(), just like ath11k does.
Now it's enough just to debug_mask module parameter to get the debug messages.

ath12k is a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices, first
supporting QCN9274 and WCN7850 PCI devices. QCN9274 supports both AP
and station; WCN7850 supports only station mode. Monitor mode is not
(yet) supported. Only PCI bus devices are supported.
ath12k is forked from an earlier version of ath11k. It was simpler to
have a "clean start" for the new generation and not try to share the
code with ath11k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids major
changes in ath11k, which would have significantly increased the risk
of regressions in existing setups.
ath12k uses le32 and cpu_to_le32() macros to handle endian
conversions, instead of using the firmware byte swap feature utilized
by ath11k. There is only one kernel module, named ath12k.ko.
Currently ath12k only supports HE mode (IEEE 802.11ax) or older, but
work is ongoing to add EHT mode (IEEE 802.11be) support.
The size of the driver is ~41 kLOC and 45 files. To make the review
easier, this initial version of ath12k does not support Device Tree,
debugfs or any other extra features. Those will be added later, after
ath12k is accepted to upstream.
The driver is build tested by Intel's kernel test robot with both GCC
and Clang. Sparse reports no warnings. The driver is mostly free of
checkpatch warnings, albeit few of the warnings are omitted on
purpose, list of them here:
https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife/blob/master/tools/scripts/ath12k/ath12k-check#L52
The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabetical
order below.
