wireless-drivers-next patches for 5.2

Most likely the last patchset of new feature for 5.2, and this time we
have quite a lot of new features. Most obvious being rtw88 from
Realtek which supports RTL8822BE and RTL8822CE 802.11ac devices. We
have also new hardware support for existing drivers and improvements.

There's one conflict in iwlwifi, my example conflict resolution below.

Conflicts:

There's a trivial conflict in
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/file.h, just leave
IWL_UCODE_TLV_FW_FSEQ_VERSION to the file. 'git diff' output should be
just empty:
