[PATCH v1] ath10k: fetch (pre-)calibration data via nvmem subsystem

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

 



On most embedded ath10k devices (like range extenders,
routers, accesspoints, ...) the calibration data is
stored in a easily accessible MTD partitions named
"ART", "caldata", "calibration", etc...

Since commit 4b361cfa8624 ("mtd: core: add OTP nvmem provider support"):
MTD partitions and portions of them can be specified
as potential nvmem-cells which are accessible through
the nvmem subsystem.

This feature - together with an nvmem cell definition either
in the platform data or via device-tree allows drivers to get
the (pre-)calibration data which is required for initializing
the WIFI.

Tested with Netgear EX6150v2 (IPQ4018)

This idea came up during the discussion of:
"ath10k: support bus and device specific API 1 BDF selection"

I do not have a device which has the boardfile data stored
by the manufracturer in flash. So this patch only deals with
the (pre-)calibration data. I'll see if I can get hold of a
suitable QCA9880 device to test it as well.

I placed the new nvmem code in front of the current "file" method
(firmware_request) because it made it easier for me to test it.
If needed I can be moved to a different place as well.
