ath12k_qmi_m3_free()/ath12k_qmi_m3_load() and
ath12k_qmi_aux_uc_free()/ath12k_qmi_aux_uc_load() carry near-identical
logic for freeing a DMA-coherent firmware memory region and loading
firmware into it. Factor the shared logic into common helpers.

Patch 1 is a preparatory, no-functional-change rename of
struct m3_mem_region to struct ath12k_fw_mem_region, since the type
is also used for the aux_uc region and the old name no longer
reflects its purpose.

Patch 2 refactors the shared free/load logic into
ath12k_qmi_free_mem_region() and ath12k_qmi_fw_mem_load(), and
rewires the m3 and aux_uc wrappers to use them.

Changes in v2:
- Addressed the review comments.

this is not enough: you need to clearly state what are changed in each patch.


Acked.
From next revision, I will clearly mention what I changed in updated patch set.

And I already gave my Reviewed-by: in v1 review, any reason why you didn't carry it in
this post? I don't see any major difference between this and the previous revision.

Based on Jeff's review comments, I have cleared the paddr and reorder the function definition. So, I thought I cannot retain your Reviewed-by tag. Please let me know if I need to re-spin with Reviewed-by tag.
