wireless-next patches for v6.2
First set of patches v6.2. mac80211 refactoring continues for Wi-Fi 7.
All mac80211 driver are now converted to use internal TX queues, this
might cause some regressions so we wanted to do this early in the
cycle.
Note: wireless tree was merged[1] to wireless-next to avoid some
conflicts with mac80211 patches between the trees. Unfortunately there
are still two smaller conflicts in net/mac80211/util.c which Stephen
also reported[2]. In the first conflict initialise scratch_len to
"params->scratch_len ?: 3 * params->len" (note number 3, not 2!) and
in the second conflict take the version which uses elems->scratch_pos.
Git diff output should like this:

wifi: rtl8xxxu: Fix reads of uninitialized variables hw_ctrl_s1, sw_ctrl_s1
Variables hw_ctrl_s1 and sw_ctrl_s1 are not being initialized and
potentially can contain any garbage value. Currently there is an if
statement that sets one or the other of these variables, followed
by an if statement that checks if any of these variables have been
set to a non-zero value. In the case where they may contain
uninitialized non-zero values, the latter if statement may be
taken as true when it was not expected to.
Fix this by ensuring hw_ctrl_s1 and sw_ctrl_s1 are initialized.
Cleans up clang warning:
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_8188f.c:432:7: warning:
