[PATCH v7 0/9] add support for WCN6750

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

 



WCN6750 is non-DBS 2x2 11AX chipset. Unlike QCA6390/WCN6855 which
are DBS (dual band simultaneous) solutions (2 LMACs), WCN6750 has a
single LMAC supporting 2G, 5G and 6G bands. It can be operated only
on one band at any given point.

WCN6750 is a PCIe device. Unlike other supported ATH11K PCIe devices
which are directly attached to APSS (Application Processor SubSystem),
WCN6750 is not attached to APSS, it is attached to the WPSS
(Wireless Processor SubSystem) Q6 processor, the FW which runs on the
Q6 processor will enumerate the PCIe device. Since APSS is unaware of
such a device, it has to be registered as a platform device(AHB) to the
kernel for device probing. Like other AHB devices, remoteproc APIs are
used to boot up or shutdown of WCN6750.

WCN6750 uses both AHB and PCIe ATH11K APIs for it's operation.
It uses AHB APIs for device probe and booting of the remote processor.
Once device is booted up, it uses ATH11K PCIe APIs for initialization
and register access. Hence, it is referred as hybrid bus device in
the rest of this series.

Since the chip is enumerated by WPSS Q6, device information like
BAR and BAR size is not known to the APSS processor. A new QMI message
called device info QMI request will be sent to the target for fetching
these details.

STA and AP modes are supported; Basic connectivity and ping are
verified in both the modes.

An important point to note is that though WCN6750 is a PCIe device,
it cannot be attached to any other platform except on Qualcomm
Snapdragon SoCs due to the aforementioned reasons.

---
V7:
 - Moved bus_params to hw_params (ath11k: Move parameters in bus_params to hw_params)
 - Removed patch "ath11k: Add bus params for WCN6750"
 - Minor commit log changes
 - Rebased on ToT SHAID: cfd3557af835ad2ab2dc8d617ea69aae2067d411

V6:
 - Initialized the bus_params fields for AHB/PCI devices which were not previously initialized
 - Commit log changes in the patch "ath11k: Datapath changes to support WCN6750"
 - Rebased on ToT SHAID: 3637b73b8e805d011202e2bf10947f2d206695d4

V5:
 - Rebased on ToT SHAID: 01be26cde012478db958d9bde530877c46031e76
 - Added Reviewed-by: tag to the DT binding patch

V4:
 - Addressed comments on DT binding (Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@xxxxxxxxxxxx>)
 - Rebased on ToT SHAID: 607c3dc2750382befa0f3f20063943bd058a2bc1

V3:
 - Patch series with 19 patches is split in 2 patch series, this is the second one
 - Rebased on ToT SHAID: 7316a74e54318d0cd648242b18ea83cdef6dda96
 - Addessed DT binding concerns
