net/wifi-firmware-kmod: deal with '?' in file names as sha256 broke it md5 (sha256) as of 70fde0ed6bbbb1f84c440190ba1e5435f8c90e13 in base started quoting ? as \? which then goes into the distinfo file and as a result we fail to find that file later using Mk/Scripts/. Using the dummy=/ option is not as straight forward with a dynamic list of distfiles as one would wish. We now build a full matrix of MASTER_SITE x DISTFILES; that is for each "DISTFILE" we generate a :group with a full download URL on each "MASTER_SITE". That way each file is still possibly downloadable from each of the various master sites. The difference now is that the files stored in distfiles no longer contain the ?h=<tag> extension as we strip that for the distfile having it encoded in the master_site URLs. Building that matrix needs to happen after bsd.port.pre.mk is included as otherwise FLAVOR is not set correctly and we do not build the correct set of firmware files as requested. Adjust the remainder of the Makefile.inc to deal with the fact that the tag is no longer part of the file name. In order to not store files in the same place if they change between version, we now hash the distfiles linux-firmware directories by tag as well. With a bit more cleanup I should one day look into making this a USES=linuxfw or similar so it can more easily be re-used for other firmware as well. Re-generate all distinfo given file name changes.

net/wifi-firmware-rtw8[89]-kmod: update firmware files With the removal of the "USE=kmod" and only building packages with plain firmware files, our version went backwards. Updating the firmware will fix this. Change to a script to extract the firmware files from WHENCE to get them all. This also helps us as we no longer have to manually track older files as they are already included in the list.

net/wifi-firmware-*: add support to set loader tunable For drivers which currently need to set the compat.linuxkpi.skb.mem_limit tunable add an option to the build to create it automatically for each FLAVOR. There is no harm if it is there multiple times setting it to the same value (apart from file including and parsing overhead in loader -- however that works). Add the option to the rtw88 and rtw89 wifi-firmware Makefile. Having it with the firmware package has multiple advantages: - the user does not have to do any manual configuration anymore - we do not have to configure setting it into the release builds - bsdinstall does not need to know about it to set for the installed system (depending on driver).

net/wifi-firmware-*kmod: update firmware for iwlwifi, rtw88, rtw89 The drivers are updated in main. Add newer supported firmware along with it while (manually) keeping some older revisions in some drivers for the stable braches.

net/wifi-firmware-*: build framework and license hack cleanup Cleanup the extra layer of "flavour" that came into the build framework when flavours were introduced at a time when it was not planned. Make linters some more happy. [1] Remove the special license hack to install additional files. If DISABLE_LICENSES is set we still installed files making builds fail [2]. One would hope to always install the lincese files but simply disable any checking by the framework. Introduce a new way using LICENSE_COMB=multi to install the default license file, the extra WHENCE and any possible extra firmware license files. Technically this is an abuse of the system too but at least it should work and not break non default options.

net/wifi-firmware-*kmod: improve build logic, add flavors, update fw version
- update framework to no longer depend on local distfiles for firmware(9)
but generate the Makefile hierarchy in post-extract. Keep a
Makefile.inc.in in files for simplicity.
- update extracting WHENCE parts using a local WHENCE.awk.in in files
and a pattern to match the section(s).
- use the already prepared FWSUBS sections for flavors and add the
FWDRV as "default". Generate the CONFLICTS_INSTALL conflict and
PKGNAMESUFFIX entries. Adjust paths and logic for flavors.
Depend on the flavors rather the combined ("default flavor") packages
by default if someone installs wifi-firmware-kmod.
The wifi-firmware-${name}-kmod packages are still built for older
versions of fwget shipping in releases.
- add support for iwlwifi and ath12k firmware
- update firmware to linux-firmware.git tag: 20240513 for all drivers.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4494580f50c9eb6net/wifi-firmware-*: use metaport for "base" and switch to Makefile.inc Rename the wifi-firmware-base to wifi-firmware-kmod (similar to gpu-firmware-mod). The former was never build so technically it is no move. Make the new subdir a metaport including all wireless firmware. Move the old Makefile to Makefile.inc and adjust the child ports accordingly. This solves two problems: (1) the base port is now buildable and (2) there is a single port to depend on to add all the needed firmware files to, e.g., put on a release media.

net/wifi-firmware-*: add framework and firmware for various WiFi chipsets Add a "base port framework" to fetch (WiFi) firmware and license files from the linux-firmware.git repository and an accompanying FreeBSD build kmod framework tarball (for now; we might do without that in the future). Add child ports for Realtek rtw88 and rtw89, Mediatek mt76, and Atheros ath10k and ath11k firmware as a start. This is a beginning in order to stop bloating src.git and the installed kernels with lots of MB of firmware files whereas usually only one vebdor/chipset/flavor is needed. Before fully switching more infrastructure needs to be in place but this is the first and most important step.
