ath10k: implement firmware IE container support
Firmware IE containers can dynamically provide various information what
firmware supports. Also it can embed more than one image so updating firmware
is easy, user just needs to update one file in /lib/firmware/.
The firmware API 2 or higher will use the IE container format, the current API
1 will not use the new format but it still is supported for some time. FW API 2
files are named as firmware-2.bin (which contains both firmware and otp images)
and API 1 files are firmware.bin and otp.bin.

This patch introduces wmi_mgmt_tx queue, because of the
fact WMI command can block. This is a problem for
ath10k_tx_htt(), since it's called from atomic context.
The skb queue and worker are introduced to move the mgmt

10.X firmware can request a memory pool from host to offload
it's own resources. This is a feature designed especially
for AP mode where the target has to deal with large number
of peers.
So we allocate and map a consistent DMA memory which FW can
use to store e.g. peer rate contol maps.

This is the initial framework to implement dynamic

called 10.X branch)
The realization is to have a static WMI cmd map for
each of the firmwares, registered upom wmi init.
This patch creates such map for MAIN FW, updates
wmi_cmd_send() calls to take as a parameter
the map value instead of direct WMI enum.
As soon as complete 10.X API will be on place,
we will introduce the FW IE mechanics to dynamicaly
identify which FW is being used and based on that
we will use correct map, API, structures, etc.
