Aggregation will wait for next packet until limit aggr size/number reach.
Packet might be drop and also packet dequeue will be stop in some cases.
This patch add timer to flush packets in aggregation list to avoid long
time waiting.

Instead of using 4KB packet buffer for data transfer, new chipset have
more device memory. This patch try to aggregation packets in an 16KB
buffer. In this way, totally usb transaction cost will be reduced.
Thoughput test on usb 2.0 show both TCP TX and UPD TX promote ~40M,
from ~240M to ~280M.
This feature is default disabled, and can be enabled by module
parameter, like:
insmod mwifiex.ko aggr_ctrl=1

USB firmware added support for sending command response/event through
interrupt endpoint, to enhance RX throughput. Added corresponding changes
required to support this feature. This change takes care of backward
compatibility with older firmware.

Adding qualifier "__packed" indicates that no padding should be
performed on the qualified object for alignment.
This patch adds qualifier __packed to the required firmware
structures in mwifiex driver.

It's possible for the FW init sequence to fail, which will trigger a
device cleanup sequence in mwifiex_fw_dpc(). This sequence can race with
device suspend() or remove() (e.g., reboot or unbind), and can trigger
use-after-free issues. Currently, this driver attempts (poorly) to
synchronize remove() using a semaphore, but it doesn't protect some of
the critical sections properly. Particularly, we grab a pointer to the
adapter struct (card->adapter) without checking if it's being freed or
not. We later do a NULL check on the adapter, but that doesn't work if
the adapter was freed.
Also note that the PCIe interface driver doesn't ever set card->adapter
to NULL, so even if we get the synchronization right, we still might try
to redo the cleanup in ->remove(), even if the FW init failure sequence
already did it.
This patch replaces the static semaphore with a per-device completion
struct, and uses that completion to synchronize the remove() thread with
the mwifiex_fw_dpc(). A future patch will utilize this completion to
synchronize the suspend() thread as well.
