[PATCH v7 00/24] rtw89: add Realtek 802.11ax driver

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

 



This driver named rtw89, which is the next generation of rtw88, supports
Realtek 8852AE 802.11ax 2x2 chip whose new features are OFDMA, DBCC,
Spatial reuse, TWT and BSS coloring; now some of them aren't implemented
though.

The chip architecture is entirely different from the chips supported by
rtw88 like RTL8822CE 802.11ac chip. First of all, register address ranges
are totally redefined, so it's impossible to reuse register definition. To
communicate with firmware, new H2C/C2H format is proposed. In order to have
better utilization, TX DMA flow is changed to two stages DMA. To provide
rich RX status information, additional RX PPDU packets are added.

Since there are so many differences mentioned above, we decide to propose
a new driver. It has many authors, they are listed in alphabetic order:

v7:
  - use consistent license of Kconfig
  - remove #ifdef and dummy functions from coex.c
  - C2H handler of coex uses meaningful naming insetad, and use le32_to_cpu()
    to convert the value.
  - add icmp packet notify to coex
  - use function call instead of a work to notify coex about traffic changed
  - fix dereference security CAM NULL pointer while disconnecting occasionally
  - fill tx descriptor once a 32 bits word (Suggested by Arnd. Thanks!)
  - use static pci PS, so remove pci link_ps 
  - make many mac tables constant
  - add early_h2c debugfs entry to notify firmware early
  - support new RA report format
  - configure retry_lowest_rate by band
  - avoid to use of whil(1) to parse power sequence
  - notify rfk before/after scanning to reset status
  - firmware: rtw89: 8852a: update fw to v0.13.30.0
    https://github.com/pkshih/linux-firmware.git 
    pick the commit 6595133a7cde82be932067afde834dcd036167f8

v6:
  - improve BT coexistence performance
  - improve power save mode
  - improve OFDMA performance
  - remove some unused code
  - fix can't obtain IPv6 address
  - support device ID 10ec:a85a
  - refine PCI interrupt flow
  - firmware: rtw89: 8852a: update fw to v0.13.28.0
    https://github.com/pkshih/linux-firmware.git 
    pick the commit 344db6dca0610341599cd3e5f8b51fcb6ae06fb5

v5:
  - add OFDMA feature
  - improve BT coexistence performance
  - improve power save mode
  - support SAR
  - fine tune performance
  - firmware: rtw89: 8852a: update fw to v0.13.24.0
    https://github.com/pkshih/linux-firmware.git 
    pick the commit a5b79c4790da3eb3690e23554225ef8db464f2c6
v4:
  - add basic BT coexistence features
  - add power save mode, so an new patch (two files) is added
  - fine tune performance
  - add debugfs for debugging coex, bb, ...
v3:
  - fix "networking block comments" reported by checkpatch
  - Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() generated by Thomas Backlund <tmb@xxxxxxxxxx>
  - Add missed BB settings
  - error handle of RX BD and DESC length
  - reduce debug level of C2H ACKs
  - fix rekey failure due to wrong operator
v2:
  - fix compiler warnings made by W=1
    Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
  - sort header file alphabetically
  - fix "networking block comments" reported by checkpatch
