Hm, what about the embedded ath9k pcie chips that need the early pci-fixup routine for the device to work properly [0], [1]? How will this be handled/integrated? I know that the ar71xx and the lantiq platforms use similar pci-fixup routines that need a few bytes from the eeprom/cal data. So lantiq has a few extra properties: "ath,pci-slot", "ath,device-id" and "ath,eep-flash". As an example: the AR9280 in the Cisco Z1 AP is initially 0x168c:0xff1f (<-- ath9k doesn't know about that id). The pci-fixup routine will change it to 0x168c:0x002A. Only then ath9k can take it over and will initialize it. Thing is: this is all currently done by platform code for those architectures... And currently, the request_firmware doesn't work for caldata on UBI partitions.
