Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
board data file is identified on QCA4019 using bus, bmi-chip-id and
bmi-board-id.
The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
fulfill the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
board data file.
This problem was solved for SMBIOS by adding a special SMBIOS type 0xF8.
Something similar has to be provided for systems without SMBIOS but with
device trees. No solution was specified by QCA and therefore a new one has
to be found for ath10k.
The device tree requires addition strings to define the variant name
wifi@a000000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
wifi@a800000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
This would create the boarddata identifiers for the board-2.bin search
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=RT-AC58U
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=RT-AC58U

This was compile and runtime tested with ath9k, ath10k and b43
with multiple stations and ieee80211w and in different scenarios by many

To create the backports-4.14-rc2-1.tar.xz use this repository:

from tag v4.14-rc2-1
Then run this:
./gentree.py --git-revision v4.14-rc2 --clean <path to linux repo> ../backports-4.14-rc2-1
This also adapts the ath10k-ct and mt76 driver to the changed cfg80211

backports-4.14-rc2.

dev_coredumpm() was added with kernel 4.7, but it is used by iwlwifi.
When the dev coredump framework form compat-wireless is used this is not
a problem because it already contains this, but this is deactivated if
the build system finds out that it is already included in the kernel we
compile against. This option was now activated by the bluetooth driver
btmrvl. Having dev coredump in the kernel adds about 400 bytes to the
lzma compressed kernel for brcm47xx.
This is copied from a more recent backports version to add the
dev_coredumpm() function when the internal core devdump is not used.

Do as the vendor driver does -- however, some devices apparently
patched support for external PA into the driver similar to how it was
done on Rt3352, using EEPROM_NIC_CONF1 rather than EEPROM_NIC_CONF2,
hence we check for both fields. Somehow the vendor driver also no
longer offers the option of only one of the TX paths having an external
PA (which was probably to weird to ever be implemented in practise,
though it doesn't seem like a particularly bad idea to me). Do the same
in rt2x00 and enable support for external PA on both TX paths whenever
it is set for TX0 in EEPROM.

ath10k tries to fetch board id via otp, but that fails for many chips
like QCA988x, QCA9984 etc. Recent commit cc189c0b7f removed the earlier
hack that had allowed QCA radios to work, as that hack was incompatible
with the new wifi chips being introduced to the source tree.
Restore functionality for the existing wifi chips by modifying the
return value of the 'board id via otp' function to a value that is recognised
as a harmless error, so that name evaluation continues by using the board file.

The tx power applied by set_txpower is limited by the CTL (conformance
test limit) entries in the EEPROM. These can change based on the user
configured regulatory domain.
Depending on the EEPROM data this can cause the tx power to become too
limited, if the original regdomain CTLs impose lowr limits than the CTLs
of the user configured regdomain.
To fix this issue, set the initial channel limits without any CTL
restrictions and only apply the CTL at run time when setting the channel
and the real tx power.
Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name>
If a device uses the default EEPROM code, typically only the main CTLs
are valid, and they do not apply properly when switching to a different
regulatory domain. If the regdomain deviates from the EEPROM one, force
the world roaming regdomain to ensure that power limits are sane

Clean up channel setting rfvals.
Port bandwidth filter calibration.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
So here is another round of improvements for MT7620 WiFi.
This commit fixes a few significant issues related to TX_PWR_CFG_x and
TX_ALC and also makes the code more readable by adding register
descriptions for things added for MT7620 and use the usual bit-field
access macros and the now defined macros instead of plain bit-ops and
magic numbers.
Properly describe EEPROM_TARGET_POWER at word 0x68 (== byte 0xD0) and
thereby fix internal TXALC which would otherwise just read
out-of-bounds of the EEPROM map.
Split-out tx-power/ALC related stuff into an additional function.
Fix VCO calibration, it was carried out properly in the channel
switching but incomplete in the actual VCO calibration function.
Also there is no need to trigger VCO calibration in channel switching,
the VCO calibration function is already being called at this point.
Remove it from channel switching function to avoid redundant code.
The TX power calibration differs significantly from all other
Mediatek/Ralink chips: They finally allow 0.5dB steps stored as 8-bit
values for (almost) each bitrate -- and promptly ran out of space and
for some reason didn't want to change the EEPROM layout. The hence
opted for a scheme of sharing values for some adjecent bitrates and
a highly over-complicated (or obfuscated?) way to populate the
TX_PWR_CFG_x registers with the values stored in the EEPROM.
The code here now looks much less complicated than what you see in the
vendor's driver, however, it does the exact same thing:
bGpwrdeltaMinus is a constant and always TRUE, hence half of the
code was dead. Gpwrdelta is always 0 (rather than using the value read
from the EEPROM). What remains is some very grotesque effort to avoid
0x20, probably some hardware bug related to some misunderstanding of
what a singed 8-bit value is (imagine: if it was a signed 6-bit value
then someone could believe that 0x20 == 0x0). And then they didn't
clean it up once they later on anandonned that whole story of having a
constant offset for 40 MHz channels and just set the offset to be
constant 0 -- there is no effort for avoiding 0x20 for the 20 MHz
values stored in the EEPROM, hence that's probably just a forbidden
value in the EEPROM specs and won't appear anyway...
Anyway, the whole thing felt like solving some college math test
where in the end everything cancels out and the result equals 0 ;)
To make sure that channel bandwidth power compensation really doesn't
need to be taken care of, output a warning when the corresponding
value stored in the EEPROM is non-zero.
Also there is no apparent reason to refrain from initializing RFCSR
register 13, it doesn't fail what-so-ever.
