[PATCH V6 3/3] cfg80211: support ieee80211-freq-limit DT property

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds a helper for reading that new property and applying
limitations of supported channels specified this way.
It is used with devices that normally support a wide wireless band but
in a given config are limited to some part of it (usually due to board
design). For example a dual-band chipset may be able to support one band
only because of used antennas.
It's also common that tri-band routers have separated radios for lower
and higher part of 5 GHz band and it may be impossible to say which is
which without a DT info.

V2: Put main code in core.c as it isn't strictly part of regulatory - pointed
    by Arend.
    Update to support ieee80211-freq-limit (new property).
V3: Introduce separated wiphy_read_of_freq_limits function.
    Add extra sanity checks for DT data.
    Move code back to reg.c as suggested by Johannes.
V4: Move code to of.c
    Use one helper called at init time (no runtime hooks)
    Modify orig_flags
V5: Make wiphy_read_of_freq_limits return void as there isn't much point of
    handling errors.
V6: Set IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED in "flags" instead of "orig_flags" as they will
    be copied during wiphy_register. Also improve description & note that helper
    has to be called before wiphy_register.

+ * @wiphy: the wireless device to get extra limits for
+ *
+ * Some devices may have extra limitations specified in DT. This may be useful
+ * for chipsets that normally support more bands but are limited due to board
+ * design (e.g. by antennas or external power amplifier).
+ *
+ * This function reads info from DT and uses it to *modify* channels (disable
+ * unavailable ones). It's usually a *bad* idea to use it in drivers with
+ * shared channel data as DT limitations are device specific. You should make
+ * sure to call it only if channels in wiphy are copied and can be modified
+ * without affecting other devices.
+ *
+ * As this function access device node it has to be called after set_wiphy_dev.
+ * It also modifies channels so they have to be set first.
+ * If using this helper, call it before wiphy_register.
