Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Add support for first trying to get a board
specific nvram file
The nvram files which some brcmfmac chips need are board-specific. To be
able to distribute these as part of linux-firmware, so that devices with
such a wifi chip will work OOTB, multiple (one per board) versions must
co-exist under /lib/firmware.
This commit adds support for callers of the brcmfmac/firmware.c code to
pass in a board_type parameter through the request structure.
If that parameter is set then the code will first try to load
chipmodel.board_type.txt before falling back to the old chipmodel.txt name.

Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Set board_type used for nvram file selection to
machine-compatible
For of/devicetree using machines, set the board_type used for nvram file
selection to the first string listed in the top-level's node compatible
string, aka the machine-compatible as used by of_machine_is_compatible().
The board_type setting is used to load the board-specific nvram file with
a board-specific name so that we can ship files for each supported board
in linux-firmware.

Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Set board_type from DMI on x86 based machines
For x86 based machines, set the board_type used for nvram file selection
based on the DMI sys-vendor and product-name strings.
Since on some models these strings are too generic, this commit also adds
a quirk table overriding the strings for models listed in that table.
The board_type setting is used to load the board-specific nvram file with
a board-specific name so that we can ship files for each supported board
in linux-firmware.

Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Add support for getting nvram contents from EFI
variables
Various X86 laptops with a SDIO attached brcmfmac wifi chip, store the
nvram contents in a special EFI variable. This commit adds support for
getting nvram directly from this EFI variable, without the user needing
to manually copy it.
This makes Wifi / Bluetooth work out of the box on these devices instead of
requiring manual setup.
This has been tested on the following models: Acer Iconia Tab8 w1-810,
Acer One 10, Asus T100CHI, Asus T100HA, Asus T100TA, Asus T200TA and a
Lenovo Mixx 2 8.

Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Fix ccode from EFI nvram when necessary
In some cases the EFI-var stored nvram contains "ccode=ALL" or "ccode=XV"
to specify "worldwide" compatible settings, but these 2 ccode-s do not work
properly.
I've tested the different known "worldwide" ccode-s used in various nvram
sources with the latest firmwares from linux-firmware for various brcmfmac
models, here is a simplified (*) table with what each setting results in:
ALL: 12-14 disab, U-NII-1, U-NII-2 no-IR/radar, U-NII-3
XV: 12-14 no-IR, disables all 5G channels
XY: 12-13 enab, 14 disab, U-NII-1 enab, U-NII-2 no-IR/radar, U-NII-3 disab
X2: 12-13 no-IR, 14 dis, U-NII-1 no-IR, U-NII-2 no-IR/radar, U-NII-3 no-IR
Where 12,13,14 are 2.4G channels 12-14 and U-NII-1/2/3 are the 3 different
5G channel groups. no-IR is no-Initiate-Radiation, we will never send on
these channels without first having received valid wifi traffic there.
This immediately shows that both ALL and XV are not as worldwide as we want
them to be. ALL causes channels 12 and 13 to not be available and XV causes
all 5GHz channels to not be available. Also ALL unconditionally enables the
U-NII-1 and U-NII-3 5G groups, while we really should be using no-IR for
these.
This commit replace XV and ALL with X2, which allows usage of chan 12-13
and 5G channels, but only after receiving valid wifi traffic there first.
Note that this configure the firmware's channel limits, the kernels own
regulatory restrictions based on e.g. regulatory info received from the
access-point, will be applied on top of this.
This fixes channels 12+13 not working on the Asus T200TA and the Lenovo
Mixx 2 8 and 5G channels not working on the Asus T100HA.
This has been tested on the following models: Acer Iconia Tab8 w1-810,
Acer One 10, Asus T100CHI, Asus T100HA, Asus T100TA, Asus T200TA and a
Lenovo Mixx 2 8.
*) There are some exceptions to this table:
1) On really old firmware e.g. linux-firmware's 2011 brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin
ALL really means all, unconditionally enabling everything
2) The exact meaning might be influenced by setting the regrev nvram var.
Specifically using ccode=XV + regrev=1 on brcmfmac43241b4 leads to:
12-14 no-ir, U-NII-1 no-ir, U-NII-2 no-ir/radar, U-NII-3 no-ir
But only on the brcmfmac43241b4 and not on e.g. the brcmfmac43340
