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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
