[PATCH 1/2] [PATCH 1/2] wifi: mt76: mt7925: add IE-parsing helpers for AP NSTS extraction for MT7928

From: Shengwei Lu <[email protected]>

Add a dedicated module (ies.c / ies.h) that provides four helpers to
parse BSS IEs and extract the AP's maximum TX spatial-stream count
(NSTS):

 - mt7928_ht_nsts_from_ies()  - reads HT Capability TX MCS streams
 - mt7928_vht_nsts_from_ies() - reads VHT Capability TX MCS map
 - mt7928_he_nsts_from_ies()  - reads HE Capability TX MCS/NSS for 80 MHz
 - mt7928_eht_nsts_from_ies() - reads EHT Capability TX MCS/NSS

Also add mt7928_get_bss_suswm_cap() which walks the HT/VHT/HE/EHT caps
of both the AP (peer link_sta) and the local device (own sband) and
fills a struct mt7928_suswm_cap {bfer_en, bfee_en, nsts} summarising
the SU beamforming capabilities and the AP's NSTS count. The
MT_SU_SWM_{BFER,BFEE,NSTS_MEET} bitmap defines used by the STA_REC_SUSWM
TLV are also introduced here.

These helpers will be consumed by the STA_REC_SUSWM TLV builder to
determine whether the AP's NSTS count falls within the device's
supported spatial-stream limit.
