b7998c8b44 iwlwifi: Change define and struct names in iwl-eeprom-parse.h
Since we will have several forms of NVM (EEPROM, OTP, etc.)
and they will have different layouts, make the parsed data
more generic. This allows functional code to be independent
of a specific layout.

Also change some variables and function names from having
"eeprom" to "nvm" in their name.

513aa3b0d1 iwlwifi: fix async station command crash
Before Emmanuel's change to use a copy of the command
("iwlwifi: get the correct HCMD in the response handler")
the iwl_add_sta_callback() function would have used a
random pointer to somewhere when processing responses
to an async command, while that wasn't valid data it
was at least a valid pointer. Now, the pointer will be
NULL in this case, thus crashing.

Fix this by exiting the function early if no command
is passed back which means it was sent asynchronously.

9679142291 iwlwifi: get the correct HCMD in the response handler
Until now, the response handler of a Host Command got the
exact same pointer that was also given to the DMA engine.
We almost never need to the Host Command that was sent while
handling its response, but when we do need it, we see that
the command has been modified.

This mystery has been elucidated. The FH (our DMA engine)
writes its meta data on the buffer in the DRAM. Of course it
copies the buffer to the NIC first. This was known to happen
for Tx command, but as a matter of fact, it happens to all
TFD brought by the FH which doesn't care much about what it
brings from DRAM to internal SRAM.

So copy the Host Command to yet another buffer so that we
can properly pass the buffer that was sent originally to the
fw. Do that only if it was request by the user since very
few flows need to get the HCMD sent in the response handler.

26a7ca9a71 iwlwifi: refactor EEPROM reading/parsing
The EEPROM reading/parsing code is all mixed in
the driver today, and the EEPROM is parsed only
when we access data from it. This is problematic
because the NVM needs to be parsed and that is
independent of reading it. Also, the NVM format
for new devices will be different and probably
require a new parser.

Therefore refactor the reading and parsing and
create two independent components. Reading the
EEPROM requires direct hardware accesses and
therefore access to the transport, but parsing
is independent and can be done on an NVM blob.

1023fdc485 iwlwifi: move DVM code into subdirectory
Since we're working on another mode/driver
inside iwlwifi, move the current one into a
subdirectory to more cleanly separate the
code. While at it, rename all the files.
