rtw88: split driver up into a core and pci part
Split the driver up into two modules (if_rtw88_pci.ko and rtw88_core.ko).
This is in preparation for the hopefully eventually upcoming USB support
using the same driver core.
Note: this changes the module name to load to if_rtw88_pci.ko instead of
if_rtw88.ko. If using devmatch(8) everything should stay the same as
the driver name (used for net.wlan.devices) stays rtw88. If using
kld_list in rc.conf or loader.conf you will need to adjust the name.
Update man page for this.
MFC after: 3 days
This sort of split in a .ko is kind of rare for drivers in the tree that support
multiple bus attachments. Usually we just lump all the attachments into the
same
.ko. It's true that with the death of ISA, etc. we no longer have as many
drivers
with multiple bus attachments, but the norm has been to include them all in a
single .ko. Is there a reason you can't follow the normal practice here?
