wifi: ath12k: Modularize driver into common and Wi-Fi 7 specific components
Split the ath12k driver into two kernel modules:
- ath12k.ko for shared logic across multiple targets
- ath12k_wifi7.ko for Wi-Fi 7 specific configuration and routines
The common module (ath12k.ko) must be loaded prior to any device-specific
module, as the latter depends on exported symbols from the former.
As part of this restructuring, Wi-Fi 7 specific files are moved into a
dedicated `wifi7/` directory and built as a separate module. Common
symbols are exported accordingly, with further adjustments planned
in upcoming patches to support architecture-dependent separation.
This modularization improves maintainability and scalability by enabling
clean separation of hardware-specific logic from the shared driver core.
