This series is five in a set of seven to add support for wcn3680 at 802.11ac data-rates. This series is about providing a parameters to firmware to get us up onto 802.11ac data-rates finally. Once the firmware config is provided to the chip and VHT parameters are populated we are good to go in terms of the higher data-rate for the wcn3680. I get typical data-rates of: [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-320.00 sec 4.93 GBytes 132 Mbits/sec 445 sender [ 5] 0.00-320.14 sec 4.93 GBytes 132 Mbits/sec receiver Downstream 3.10 prima is getting I'm told 180-200 Mbits/sec on the same hardware so with time and effort there's certainly some performance gain to be squeezed out of this silicon yet. However as a first pass, I believe this is good enough and useful enough to others to submit for upstream inclusion. An interesting project and a medium term goal would be to have a unified configuration for all three supported chipsets. For now suggesting a separate firmware configuration to make sure the existing lower-speed 802.11n and higher-speed 802.11ac chips don't step on each other's toes vis-a-vis firmware parameters.
