Current hw_scan implementation does not trigger offloaded
hardware scan and seems to only put the device in a kind of
listening mode (beacon/probe-response) for software scan.
Since no probe request are generated by the software, current
scanning method is similar to a passive scan.
This patch introduces support for 'true' hardware offloaded scan.
Hardware scan is configured and started via the start-scan-offload
firmware message. Once scan has been completed a scan indicator
message is received from firmware.
Moreover, this patch includes support for directed probe-request,
allowing connection with hidden APs. It also fixes scan issues with
band-steering AP which are not 'visible' with passive scan (due to
hidden ssid in beacons).
Let's keep the 'legacy' scanning method in case scan-offload is not
supported.

By moving these client drivers to use RPMSG instead of the direct SMD
API we can reuse them ontop of the newly added GLINK wire-protocol
support found in the 820 and 835 Qualcomm platforms.
As the new (RPMSG-based) and old SMD implementations are mutually
exclusive we have to change all client drivers in one commit, to make
sure we have a working system before and after this transition.

Using the software based channel scan mechanism from mac80211 keeps us
offline for 10-15 second, we should instead issue a start_scan/end_scan
on each channel reducing this time.

The wcn36xx wifi driver follows the life cycle of the WLAN_CTRL SMD
channel, as such it should be a SMD client. This patch makes this
transition, now that we have the necessary frameworks available.

After booting the wireless subsystem and uploading the NV blob to the
WCNSS_CTRL service the remote continues to do things and will not start
servicing wlan-requests for another 2-5 seconds (measured).
The downstream code does not have any special handling for this case,
but has a timeout of 10 seconds for the communication layer. By
extending the wcn36xx timeout to match this we follows the same flow for
the boot procedure and can successfully configure WiFi as wlan0 is
registered.

The WCN36XX_HAL_RMV_BSSKEY_RSP carries a single u32 with "status", so we
can use the standard status check function for decoding the result.
This is the last user of the v2 status checker, so remove the struct and
helper function.

This patch also adds a way to build the smd command in place. This is
needed because the MC list command is too big for the stack.

wcn3620 has a new message structure for the reply to some hal
commands. This patch adds the struct and helper routine that
uses it if the chip is wcn3620, or falls back to the old
helper routine.
We don't know what to do with the candidate list he sends back,
but we can at least accept and ignore it nicely instead of dying.

On some wcnss firmwares the start command can take up to 300ms to
complete. Currently there is a 200ms timeout for SMD command to
complete which causes the start to fail.
Increase the timeout to 500ms. Also improve debug information
regarding SMD command completion time.
