This lets users specify the upper band that the 7916 radio should use.
Upon reboot, the 7916 will be using that upper band.
Example config file:
myhost@: cat /usr/lib/firmware/mediatek/fwcfg-mmio-0000\:04\:00.0.txt
high_band=6

So this is basically an .ini file with settings for the driver? It's a
long standing request feature request how wireless drivers should handle
thatbut there's still no resolution. Having an ASCII parser in the
driver does not sound a good idea.
It has been many years, no one has offered a better solution that I'm
aware of, so....how long to wait?
Perhaps the parsing logic could move to some helper methods higher in the stack and create a table of
key/value pairs to be used by drivers so that multiple drivers could more easily re-use the parsing
code?
Thanks,
Ben
