This patch adds support for new FullMAC WiFi driver for Quantenna
QSR10G chipsets.

QSR10G (aka Pearl) is Quantenna's 8x8, 160M, 11ac offering.
QSR10G supports 2 simultaneous WMACs - one 5G and one 2G.
5G WMAC supports 160M, 8x8 configuration. FW supports
up to 8 concurrent virtual interfaces on each WMAC.

Patch introduces 2 new drivers:
- qtnfmac.ko for interfacing with kernel wireless core
- qtnfmac_pearl_pcie.ko for interfacing with hardware over PCIe interface

Hi, what's the state of this patch?

I haven't had a chance to look at the latest review comments yet, but
this is starting to look good, I think.

So what is the status for the firmware patch. It was submitted as RFC a
while ago [1].

From Quantenna side the plan to move forward is:
1. Modify cfg80211 driver patch to introduce ability to boot from card's internal flash rather then over PCIe only. This will hopefully unblock driver itself. 2. Work internally to provide access to SDK used to build firmware on a public server, that has to be accessible for two years. Then submit firmware to linux-firmware again.


Regards,
Arend
