The MBIM protocol has now been integrated in a proper WWAN driver. We
can then revert back to a simpler driver for mhi_net, which is used
for raw IP or QMAP protocol (via rmnet link).
- Remove protocol management
- Remove WWAN framework usage (only valid for mbim)
- Remove net/mhi directory for simpler mhi_net.c file

Packets are aggregated over the MBIM link and currently the MHI net
device will count each aggregated packet rather then the actual
packets themselves.
If a protocol handler module is specified, use that to count the
packets rather than directly in the MHI net device. This is in line
with the behaviour of the USB net cdc_mbim driver.

The MRU value used by the MHI MBIM network interface affects
the throughput performance of the interface. Different modem
models use different default MRU sizes based on their bandwidth
capabilities. Large values generally result in higher throughput
for larger packet sizes.
In addition if the MRU used by the MHI device is larger than that
specified in the MHI net device the data is fragmented and needs
to be re-assembled which generates a (single) warning message about
the fragmented packets. Setting the MRU on both ends avoids the
extra processing to re-assemble the packets.
This patch allows the documented MRU for a modem to be automatically
set as the MHI net device MRU avoiding fragmentation and improving
throughput performance.

The WWAN core not only multiplex the netdev configuration data, but
process it too, and needs some space to store its private data
associated with the netdev. Add a structure to keep common WWAN core
data. The structure will be stored inside the netdev private data before
WWAN driver private data and have a field to make it easier to access
the driver data. Also add a helper function that simplifies drivers
access to their data.
At the moment we use the common WWAN private data to store the WWAN data
link (channel) id at the time the link is created, and report it back to
user using the .fill_info() RTNL callback. This should help the user to
be aware which network interface is bound to which WWAN device data
channel.

MBIM protocol makes the mhi network interface asymmetric, ingress data
received from MHI is MBIM protocol, possibly containing multiple
aggregated IP packets, while egress data received from network stack is
IP protocol.
This changes allows a 'protocol' to specify its own MRU, that when
specified is used to allocate MHI RX buffers (skb).
For MBIM, Set the default MTU to 1500, which is the usual network MTU
for WWAN IP packets, and MRU to 3.5K (for allocation efficiency),
allowing skb to fit in an usual 4K page (including padding,
skb_shared_info, ...).

Currently, if skb is non-linear, due to MHI skb chaining, it is
linearized in MBIM RX handler prior MBIM decoding, causing extra
allocation and copy that can be as large as the maximum MBIM frame
size (32K).
This change introduces MBIM decoding for non-linear skb, allowing to
process 'large' non-linear MBIM packets without skb linearization.
The IP packets are simply extracted from the MBIM frame using the
skb_copy_bits helper.

MBIM has initially been specified by USB-IF for transporting data (IP)
between a modem and a host over USB. However some modern modems also
support MBIM over PCIe (via MHI). In the same way as QMAP(rmnet), it
allows to aggregate IP packets and to perform context multiplexing.
This change adds minimal MBIM data transport support to MHI, allowing
to support MBIM only modems. MBIM being based on USB NCM, it reuses
and copy some helpers/functions from the USB stack (cdc-ncm, cdc-mbim).
Note that is a subset of the CDC-MBIM specification, supporting only
transport of network data (IP), there is no support for DSS. Moreover
the multi-session (for multi-pdn) is not supported in this initial
version, but will be added latter, and aligned with the cdc-mbim
solution (VLAN tags).
This code has been inspired from the mhi_mbim downstream implementation
(Carl Yin <carl.yin@quectel.com>).
