dev_warn_ratelimited() isn't helping the noise. Use
dev_warn_once()
instead.

The {7, {1300, 2700, 1444, 3000} } is a correct value.
The 1440 is report from firmware, its a wrong value, it has
fixed in
firmware.
In what version?
Here is the info:
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: qca6174 hw3.2 target 0x05030000 chip_id
0x00340aff sub 17aa:0827

If change it to dev_warn_once, then it will have no chance to
find the
other wrong values which report by firmware, and it indicate
a wrong value to mac80211/cfg80211 and lead "iw wlan0 station dump"
get a wrong bitrate.
Agreed.
I agree, we should keep this warning. If the firmware still keeps
sending invalid rates we should add a specific check to ignore
the known
invalid values, but not all of them.
Would it be helpful to adjust the default rate limits and set the to
a higher value instead. It might be difficult to account all possible
invalid values?
Something like, ath10k_warn_ratelimited() to adjust the
DEFAULT_RATELIMIT_INTERVAL and DEFAULT_RATELIMIT_BURST using
DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE
Let me know if you like this idea. I can send a patch in to do this.
I will hang on to this firmware version for a little but longer, so
we have a test case. :)
I would rather first try to fix the root cause, which is the firmware
sending invalid rates. Wen, you mentioned there's a fix in
firmware. Do
you know which firmware version (and branch) has the fix?
Picking this back up. Wen, which firmware version has this fix? I can
test this on my system and get rid of the noisy messages. :)
thanks,

I know its been years, but reading through this Wen mentioned there
is a fix in the firmware? I haven't tried all of the firmware
binaries in Kalle's tree but the most recent definitely still spam
the logs with this message. Is there a specific version I can use to
get rid of these?
One thing to note is the older "firmware-4.bin" did not have this
problem, but was met with worse problems like driver/firmware crashes.
I hate to keep bringing this up, and if its a "won't fix" type of issue
you don't have to tell me twice and I can deal with it out of tree. Any
answer would be greatly appreciated so I know how to proceed, and if its
something I can wait for on upstream or handle on my own. Since its
apparently a firmware bug its not something I can fix, or I would try to
myself.
(sorry, my last inquiry was mistakenly from a different email address).
Thanks,
James
