Add a new entry "coex_info" in debugfs to dump coex's states for
us to debug on coex's issues.
The basic concept for co-existence (coex, usually for WiFi + BT)
is to decide a strategy based on the current status of WiFi and
BT. So, it means the WiFi driver requires to gather information
from BT side and choose a strategy (TDMA/table/HW settings).
Althrough we can easily check the current status of WiFi, e.g.,
from kernel log or just dump the hardware registers, it is still
very difficult for us to gather so many different types of WiFi
states (such as RFE config, antenna, channel/band, TRX, Power
save). Also we will need BT's information that is stored in
"struct rtw_coex". So it is necessary for us to have a debugfs
that can dump all of the WiFi/BT information required.
Note that to debug on coex related issues, we usually need a
longer period of time of coex_info dump every 2 seconds (for
example, 30 secs, so we should have 15 times of coex_info's
dump).

Power amplifiers are not linear components, and require DPK to
reduce its nonlinearity. DPK is called Digital Pre-distortion
Calibration, can be used to compensate the output of power.
DPK tracking is in charge of tracking the thermal changes. And
it then shifts the power curve accordingly, which makes the
power output remains linear even if the PA works in different
temperature.
To perform DPK, the parameter table should also be updated.
And the table will be applied when device is powered on.
Then DPK will reference the values to calibrate.

Both RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE are WiFi + BT combo chips. Since
WiFi and BT use 2.4GHz to transmit, it is important to
make sure they run concurrently without interfering each
other. To achieve this, WiFi driver requires a mechanism
to collaborate with BT, whether they share the antenna(s)
or not.
The final decision made by the co-existence mechanism is
to choose a proper strategy, or called "tdma/table", and
inform either firmware or hardware of the strategy.
To choose a strategy, co-existence mechanism needs to
have enough information from WiFi and BT.
BT information is provided through firmware C2H.
The contents describe the current status of BT, such as
if BT is connected or is idle, or the profile that is
being used.
WiFi information can be provided by WiFi itself. The WiFi
driver will call various of "notify" functions each time
the state of WiFi changed, such as WiFi is going to switch
channel or is connected. Also WiFi driver can know if it
shares antenna with BT by reading efuse content. Antenna
configuration of the module will finally get a different
strategy.
Upon receiving any information from WiFi or BT, the WiFi
driver will run the co-existence mechanism immediately.
It will set the RF antenna configuration according to the
strategy through the TDMA H2C to firmware and a hardware
table. Based on the tdma/table, WiFi + BT should work with
each other, and having a better user experience.
