Tim Harvey ba66273943 mac80211: ath11k: Fix DMA buffer allocation to resolve SWIOTLB issues
Backport two commits to resolve issues with ath1kk causing it to fail
driver registration on iommuless systems with DRAM outside of 32bit
addressing such as a 4GiB imx8mm:

commit 1bcd20981834 ("wifi: ath11k: Fix DMA buffer allocation
to resolve SWIOTLB issues")
commit eeadc6baf8b3 ("wifi: ath11k: Use dma_alloc_noncoherent
for rx_tid buffer allocation")

wifi: ath11k: Fix DMA buffer allocation to resolve SWIOTLB issues
Currently, the driver allocates cacheable DMA buffers for rings like
HAL_REO_DST and HAL_WBM2SW_RELEASE. The buffers for HAL_WBM2SW_RELEASE
are large (1024 KiB), exceeding the SWIOTLB slot size of 256 KiB. This
leads to "swiotlb buffer is full" error messages on systems without an
IOMMU that use SWIOTLB, causing driver initialization failures. The driver
calls dma_map_single() with these large buffers obtained from kzalloc(),
resulting in ring initialization errors on systems without an IOMMU that
use SWIOTLB.
To address these issues, replace the flawed buffer allocation mechanism
with the appropriate DMA API. Specifically, use dma_alloc_noncoherent()
for cacheable DMA buffers, ensuring proper freeing of buffers with
dma_free_noncoherent().
Error log:
