[Shrirang Bagul]

This is a tracking bug for several improvements for the Redpine RS9113 Wifi+BT combo-device on Dell Edge 300X gateways using Ubuntu 18.04 Server based image. Some of these upgrades are:

1. WoWLAN support from S3/S4 and S5.
2. Better radio throughput
3. Stable operation
   - fixes to mitigate issues during driver module loading/un-loading
   - panics when resuming from hibernation

These changes have been verified by QA and Dell/ODM.

This bug is of tracking purposes only, please don't triage.
