If there is only one string in firmware-name, it must be the NVM file, which is used for backward compatibility. 2. If there are two strings in firmware-name, the first string is for the rampatch, and the second string is for the NVM. 3. Due to variations in RF performance of chips from different foundries, different NVM configurations are used based on the board ID. If the second string ends with boardid, the NVM file will be selected according to the board ID. Here are two examples: firmware-name = "qca/QCA6698/hpbtfw21.tlv", "qca/QCA6698/hpnv21.bin"; In this configuration, the driver will use the two files directly. firmware-name = "qca/QCA6698/hpbtfw21.tlv", "qca/QCA6698/hpnv21.boardid"; In this configuration, the driver will replace boardid with the actual board information. If the board id is 0x0206, the nvm file name will be qca/QCA6698/hpnv21.b0206 >> >> Or add a new property to specify the rampatch file? >> rampatch-name = "rampatch_xx.tlv"; >> >>> >>>> + >>>> + >>>> required: >>>> - compatible >>>> >>>> -- >>>> 2.25.1 >>>> >>> >> > >
