This goes on top of Michael Reeves' BCM4388 series [1], which also
changes how brcmfmac talks to the BCM4364 and BCM4377 of the T2 Macs.
These patches are follow-ups to it.
Michael's Patch 5 moves the mailbox to the control ring when the
firmware does not set BRCMF_PCIE_SHARED_USE_MAILBOX. On the BCM4377
of the T2 Macs that makes D3 work at all, since this firmware doesn't
read the TCM mailbox the driver used before. But that caused some
other issues as an aftermath.
Patches 1 and 2 fix two things in that path. D0_INFORM on resume fails
while the PCIe state is still DOWN, which I reported on patch 5 [2].
And with host ready as a capability, the host ready doorbell at init
halts the BCM4364 firmware.
Patch 3 probes again after a resume through the platform firmware,
since the chip loses its firmware in S3. Patch 4 stands on its own and
drops a tx status wait on flowring delete that the BCM4377 firmware
doesnt satisfy.
The Bluetooth function of the BCM4377 gets the same resume handling in
"Bluetooth: hci_bcm4377: resume after ACPI S3" on linux-bluetooth.
Tested with S3 on the BCM4377 (MacBookAir9,1) and BCM4364B2
(MacBookPro15,1), and probe on the BCM4364B3 (MacBookPro16,1).

With the mailbox on the control ring, D0_INFORM goes through the ring
write path, which refuses to write while devinfo->state is DOWN.
brcmf_pcie_pm_leave_D3() sets the state only after D0_INFORM, so every
hot resume fails and falls back to remove and re-probe:
brcmf_pcie_send_mb_data: Failed to send H2D mailbox data (-5)
Set the state before D0_INFORM and back to DOWN when the hot resume
fails.

With host ready in the host capabilities, the BCM4364 firmware halts on
the doorbell that brcmf_pcie_preinit() rings, before it answers the
first ioctl. The B3 of the MacBookPro16,1 does so on every load, the B2
of the MacBookPro15,1 on some:
brcmf_pcie_handle_mb_data D2H_MB_DATA: FW HALT
brcmf_attach: dongle is not responding: err=-5
The BCM4377 stays silent without the capability, so it stays. Once host
ready is a capability the firmware takes the doorbell as the exit from
D3, where Broadcom's DHD driver rings it, after D0_INFORM. Ring it at
init only when host ready is not a capability.

After ACPI S3 the chip comes back without its firmware, but the
interrupt mask can read back nonzero, so brcmf_pcie_pm_leave_D3()
takes the hot resume path and every command times out afterwards.
Seen on the BCM4377 and BCM4364 of the T2 Macs.
When the platform firmware handled the resume and WoWL is off, go
straight to the existing remove and re-probe path.

The BCM4377 firmware returns the tx status of queued packets only when
it gets the flowring delete request. brcmf_msgbuf_delete_flowring()
waits up to 100 ms for them before it sends the request, so every
disconnect logs a timeout, and the cleared counter goes below zero when
the status arrives.
The race the wait was added for in commit 0fa24196e425 ("wifi: brcmfmac:
fix continuous 802.1x tx pending timeout error") is covered by
RING_CLOSING since commit 09be7546a602 ("wifi: brcmfmac: fix scheduling
while atomic issue when deleting flowring"), and late tx status still
releases the packet. Send the delete right away and reset the counter
when the ring is created.
