[PATCH 0/8] wifi: rtw89: generalize download firmware flow to support WiFi 7 chips

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

 



WiFi 7 chips can download BB MCU firmware via the same path as existing
WiFi CPU firmware, and we need to check them successful after downloading,
so use a corresponding hardware bit to confirm certain firmware is ready.

To reuse the flow, uses mac_gen pointers to adapt WiFi 6/7 chips with
different settings and checking rules. Also, refine flow to support
download firmware one by one. Then, changes of flow look like

  1. initial setup                 --> no logic change
  2. download WiFi CPU firmware    --> 2. for all firmware suits
                                       2.1. download WiFi CPU firmware &
                                            check ready
                                       2.2. download BB MCU firmware &
                                            check ready
  3. check ready by status code    --> no logic change

Ping-Ke Shih (8):
  wifi: rtw89: fw: move polling function of firmware path ready to an
    individual function
  wifi: rtw89: fw: generalize download firmware flow by mac_gen pointers
  wifi: rtw89: fw: implement supported functions of download firmware
    for WiFi 7 chips
  wifi: rtw89: fw: add checking type for variant type of firmware
  wifi: rtw89: fw: propagate an argument include_bb for BB MCU firmware
  wifi: rtw89: 8922a: add chip_ops::bb_preinit to enable BB before
    downloading firmware
  wifi: rtw89: fw: refine download flow to support variant firmware
    suits
  wifi: rtw89: 8922a: set memory heap address for secure firmware
