Hi

you write that

"microsemi-lx5586", "sky85703-11" and "sky85803" is supported, but you just
check for microsemi-lx5586
  in part 3

This adds new dt entry ext-fem-name, it is used by ath10k driver
to select correct timing parameters and configure it in target wifi
hardware.
The Front End Module(FEM) normally includes tx power amplifier(PA) and rx low noise amplifier(LNA). The default timing parameters like tx end to PA off timing values were fine tuned for internal FEM used in reference design. And these timing values can not be same if ODM modifies hardware design with different external FEM. This DT entry helps to choose correct
timing values in driver if different external FEM hardware used.

Sebastian might be right.

"Valid FEM names are

etc. inidicate you could put whatever here. where does the actual code
resides that manages different FEM ?
These are some valid fem names which I added for example.
But currently driver support is added only for "microsemi-lx5586",
since it required different timing settings for proper DFS radar detection. Others use default settings from firmware if driver doesn't send any settings to firmware. Driver support will be extended in future, if different settings
applicable for other fems.
I think, I should mention like
"Valid FEM names for example: "microsemi-lx5586", "sky85703-11" and "sky85803" etc.".
I will change it.
