A new driver in the rtlwifi family for the RTL8723BE will soon be added.
The bluetooth coexistence code for this device has been split into a separate
mini driver as it will be shared with other devices.  This commit adds the
the headers and sources, and modifies Kconfig and Makefile to configure and
build this driver.

The TX descriptors are consumed by the HW using DMA.
Even if in the driver code the TX descriptor writes appears before
the HW "dma kick" register writes, the CPU may reorder them.

If this happens, the TX may not happen at all becase the "valid"
descriptor flag may have not been set yet.

This patch adds a write memory barrier to ensures the TX
descriptor is written before writing to the HW "dma kick" register.

The TX descriptors are consumed by the HW using DMA.
Even if in the driver code the memory write that sets the "valid"
flag appears after all other writes, the CPU may reorder writes,
causing the HW to consider as valid a not-fully-written yet
descriptor.

This may cause HW incorrect behaviour.

This can happen because (AFAIK) the HW may attempt DMA
asynchronously without waiting to be kicked by the following
register write.

This patch adds a write memory barrier to enforce writes ordering.

Older chipsets are more sensitive to high PHY error counts, and the
current noise immunity thresholds were based on tests run at QCA with
newer chipsets.

This patch brings back the values from the old ANI implementation for
old chipsets, and it also disables weak signal detection on an earlier
noise immunity level, to improve overall radio stability on affected
devices.

The commit 80b4205b "ath9k: Fix OFDM weak signal detection for AP mode"
prevented weak signal detection changes from taking effect in AP mode on
all chipsets, claiming it is "not allowed".

The main reason for not disabling weak signal detection in AP mode is
that typically beacon RSSI is used to track whether it is needed to
boost range, and this is unavailable in AP mode for obvious reasons.

The problem with not disabling weak signal detection is that older
chipsets are very sensitive to high PHY error counts. When faced with
heavy noise, this can lead to an excessive amount of "Failed to stop
TX DMA" errors in the field.
