[PATCH v2 2/2] ath11k: enable 802.11 power save mode in station mode

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

 



From: Carl Huang <cjhuang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To reduce power consumption enable 802.11 power save mode in station mode. This
allows both radio and CPU to sleep more.

Only enable the mode on QCA6390 and WCN6855, it's unknown how other hardware
families support this feature.

To test that power save mode is running run "iw dev wls1 set power_save off",
check there is no NULL Data frame seen by a sniffer. And run "iw dev wls1 set power_save
on" and check there is a NULL Data frame in sniffer.

Tested-on: QCA6390 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HST.1.0.1-01740-QCAHSTSWPLZ_V2_TO_X86-1

v2:

* improve commit log

* use existing ath11k_wmi_pdev_set_ps_mode()

* rename protocol_ps to supports_sta_ps

* cosmetic changes
