Relegate 2 phy messages to debug status as they create excessive
log spam, noted in multiple bugzillas for brcmsmac v3.8 and up.
This is a follow on to net-next 99e9494069:
brcmsmac: Reduce log spam in heavy tx, make err print in debug
brcmsmac bcma0:0: phyerr 0x10, rate 0x14

Add the brcmsmac_tx trace system for tx debugging. Existing code to dump
tx status and descriptors are converted to using tracepoints, allowing
for more efficient collection and post-processing of this data. These
tracepoints are placed to collect data for all tx frames instead of only
on errors. Logging of tx errors is also improved.

Convert most uses of wiphy_* and pr_* for general error and debug
messages to use the internal debug macros instead. Most code used only
for initialization still use wiphy_err(), as well as some locations
which are executed too early to use the debug macros. Some debug
messages which are redundant or not useful are removed.

The brcmsmac internal tx buffering is problematic. The amount of
buffering is excessive (228 packets in addition to the 256 slots in each
DMA ring), and frames may be dropped due to a lack of flow control.
This patch reworks the transmit code path to remove the internal
buffering. Frames are immediately handed off to the DMA support rather
than passing through an intermediate queue. Non-aggregate frames are
queued immediately into the tx rings, and aggregate frames are queued
temporarily in an AMPDU session until ready for transmit.
Transmit flow control is also added to avoid dropping packets when the
tx rings are full. Conceptually this is a separate change, but it's
included in this commit because removing the tx queue without adding
flow control could cause significant problems.

The mac80211 tx queues and brcmsmac DMA fifos both map directly to AC
levels. Therefore it's much more straightforward to queue tx frames and
choose the tx fifo based on the mac80211 queue instead of mapping 802.1D
priority tags to precedence levels then back to AC levels. mac80211
already maps the 802.1D levels to the appropriate AC levels and queues
management frames at the maximum priority, so the results should be
identical.
One functional change resulting from this patch is that AMPDU retries no
longer get a priority boost to queue them ahead of packets with the same
priority already in the tx queue. This behavior will be restored (in
effect at least) in a later patch when the tx queue is removed.

According to the comments this "reduces rate lag," but in reality the
only way this value is used is for determining whether or not any frames
remain to be transmitted. Therefore there's no reason for AMPDU packets
to receive any weighting.

AMPDU session allows MPDUs to be temporarily queued until either a full
AMPDU has been collected or circumstances dictate that transmission
should start with a partial AMPDU. Packets are added to the session by
calling brcms_c_ampdu_add_frame(). brcms_c_ampdu_finalize() should be
called to fix up the tx headers in the first and last packet before
adding the packets to the DMA ring. brmcs_c_sendampdu() is converted to
using AMPDU sessions.
This patch has no real value on it's own, but is needed in preparation
for elimination of the tx packet queue from brcmsmac.

brcmsmac uses info->control.sta while doing ampdu aggregation. This patch
changes the usage of the structure info->control.sta, as it is going to be
removed soon from struct ieee80211_tx_info. This patch is a pre-requisit in
order to add transmission power control (TPC) to the mac80211 subsystem.
