[PATCH v4 0/2] wcn36xx: Extend V1 data-structures

[Bryan O'Donoghue]

This series is one in a set of seven to add support for wcn3680 at 802.11ac
data-rates.

V4:
- No functional change.

V3:
In order to pass VHT parameters to the firmware, we need to extend the
parameter data-structure. In the V2 series, this was accomplished in two
patches.

However since I was rebasing this series anyway I thought it would be a
better idea to do the conversion in one go, so that if someone is
rebasing/bisecting in the future every single patch will still be
functional and testable on wcn3620. If the data-structure is extended and
then the code is subsequently updated, then the patches in-between the
data-structure update and the code update will not be testable on hardware.

As a result I've opted to front-load the conversion. The first patch is
atomic with respect to ongoing functionality on wcn3620, which I think is a
better result for not much extra code.

The eventual enabling for wcn3680 comes in a later patch in a later set.

For a similar reason I thought it best to front-load the conversion to
using the extended V1 data-structure for storing parameters internal to the
driver.
