[PATCH v2] dt-bindings: net: wireless: ath10k: add ieee80211-freq-limit property

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

 



This is an existing optional property that ieee80211.yaml/cfg80211
provides. It's useful to further restrict supported frequencies
for a specified device through device-tree.

For testing the addition, I added the ieee80211-freq-limit
property with values from an OpenMesh A62 device. This is
because the OpenMesh A62 has "special filters in front of
the RX+TX paths to the 5GHz PHYs. These filtered channel
can in theory still be used by the hardware but the signal
strength is reduced so much that it makes no sense."

The driver supported this since ~2018 by
commit 34d5629d2ca8 ("ath10k: limit available channels via DT ieee80211-freq-limit")

v1->v2:
	- AllOf is a list. So add it to the existing one?
	- added example with link to vendor hardware reason
	  notes about the filtering
