But is there a concrete reason to have the functions in core.c? In your
following patches I couldn't see why to move these functions to core.c,
everything seems to be suitable for mac.c.

I experimented this in the pending branch and moved the functions to
mac.c (tag ath-pending-202401151424):

I also fixed your other patchsets to match that and to me it makes more
sense to have everything in mac.c. I prefer to make core.c as simple as possible.

As you can see I also made changes to the patch titles to make them more
understandable:

wifi: ath12k: refactor ath12k_mac_register() and ath12k_mac_unregister()

Thoughts?
