With the introduction of Multi Link Operation (MLO) support in
IEEE802.11be, each EHT AP/non AP interface is capable of
operating with multiple radio links.
cfg80211/mac80211 expects drivers to abstract the communication
between such Multi Link HW and mac80211/cfg80211 since it depends
on different driver/HW implementation. Hence the single wiphy
abstraction with changes in datastructures were introduced in
"wifi: ath12k: Introduce hw abstraction"
This patchset extends the implementation to allow combination
of multiple underlying radios into a single composite hw/wiphy
for registration. Since now multiple radios are represented by
a single wiphy, changes are required in various mac ops that the
driver supports since the driver now needs to learn on how to tunnel
various mac ops properly to a specific radio.
This patchset covers the basic mac80211 ops for an interface bring up
and operation.
Note:
Monitor and hw reconfig support for Single Wiphy will be done in future
patchsets.

v5:
- Addressed Jeff's comments
- Made arvif config cache to be dynamic in PATCH 07/12
In the future please be specific about what patches in the series were
modified so that reviewers don't have to spend time reviewing the parts that
didn't change.
Sure will follow this for future patches.
