|Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: search all IEs for variant before falling back
|Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 11:43:39 -0500
|[...]
|This patch fixes the issue by first searching the entire file for the ID
|with variant, and searching for the fallback ID only if that search
|fails. It also includes some code cleanup in the area, as
|ath10k_core_fetch_board_data_api_n() no longer does its own string
|mangling to remove the variant from an ID, instead leaving that job to a
|new flag passed to ath10k_core_create_board_name().
|
|I've tested this patch on a QCA4019 and verified that the driver behaves
|correctly for 1) both fallback and variant BDFs present, 2) only fallback
|BDF present, and 3) no matching BDFs present.

Note: 937-ath10k-calibration-variant.patch has been reassigned a new 081
number, as it now ships with upstream.... But also because this patch
requires the change in ath10k_core_create_board_name().

This is to simplify maintenance. It's easy to say now which patches need
some extra work and/or sending upstream. Updating to newer backports
should be also simpler with this.

Make it easily possible to add a custom script in front of this hotplug
script which adds new devices. This is needed for the mvebu target in
which we want to migrate the old configuration before new devices are
getting detected.

Revert upstream commit 1bd773c077de "wireless: set correct mandatory rate
flags", as it breaks 11s interoperability: nodes can only associate when
neither or both have this patch. As this is a regression from released
versions, revert to the old code for now.

Backport patches that separate spectral scan support from general debugfs
support of ath9k/ath10k; this allows to remove the dependency on
KERNEL_RELAY from these driver packages even with debugfs enabled and
avoids the memory footprint of the relay buffers allocated by ath9k/ath10k
even when they aren't used at all.
The KERNEL_RELAY dependency is moved to a new config symbol that enables
spectral scan support in these drivers.

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
