Will be modified.

Will be handled by the caller and lockdep_assert will be added to this 
function

This is a question for the QCA firmware guys.

Thanks, will be changed. But actually, I found a lot of ret stuff in the 
ath10k code.

Ok, warning messages will be modified.

Ok, will be renamed.

Sorry, I got no documentation to anything. So I cannot provide one to you. 
Maybe you can get it easier than me.

Ok, bin_scale didn't make a difference in my tests (I've just repeated them). 
But 2 ** (fft_size - 1) seems to be relevant. We have to change the format 
accordingly.

But currently we don't see any change in the bandwidth (20MHz/40MHz) for the 
different bin numbers. This has to be checked later in detail.

Kind regards,
