[RFC PATCH v1 2/3] ath9k: fetch calibration data via nvmem subsystem

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

 



On most embedded ath9k devices (like range extenders,
routers, accesspoints, ...) the calibration data is
stored in a MTD partitions named "ART", or "caldata"/
"calibration".

Since commit 4b361cfa8624 ("mtd: core: add OTP nvmem provider support"):
All MTD partitions are all automatically available through
the nvmem subsystem. This feature - together with an nvmem cell definition
in the device-tree - allows drivers like ath9k to get the data necessary
for starting the WIFI, without having to wait around for the filesystem
and userspace to do the extractions.
