QCA99X0, QCA9888, QCA9984 supports calibration data in
either OTP or DT/pre-cal file. Current ath10k supports
Calibration data from OTP only.

If caldata is loaded from DT/pre-cal file, fetching board id
and applying calibration parameters like tx power gets failed.

error log:
[   15.733663] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to fetch board file: -2
[   15.741474] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: could not probe fw (-2)

This patch adds calibration data support from DT/pre-cal
file.  Below parameters are used to get board id and
applying calibration parameters from cal data.

		EEPROM[OTP]	FLASH[DT/pre-cal file]
Cal param	0x700		0x10000
Board id	0x10		0x8000

Tested on QCA9888 with pre-cal file.

Just tried this on an QCA9984 which doesn't seem to have the
calibration data in the PCI EEPROM.

'ATH10K driver <-> 10.4 firmware' expects cal data to be either in EEPROM or pre-cal-file or DT.
Hope the error is observed when there is no cal data loaded.

It works when I use the pre-cal data as calibration data. The checksum in the pre-cal seems to be correct. Also the pre-cal data from 0:ART for the 2.4GHz
and 5GHz QCA4019 seem to work perfectly fine.


Do you mean this patch works for only QCA4019 and not working for QCA9984 ?

Anything which I could have missed or what I could test? Btw. I've also tested
the non-ct firmware (aka the official one from QCA).


Thanks,
Anil.
