wifi: ath12k: driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices

2022-11-29T10:49:06Z

ath12k is a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices, first supporting QCN9274 and WCN7850 PCI devices. QCN9274 supports both AP and station; WCN7850 supports only station mode. Monitor mode is not (yet) supported. Only PCI bus devices are supported. ath12k is forked from an earlier version of ath11k. It was simpler to have a "clean start" for the new generation and not try to share the code with ath11k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath11k, which would have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existing setups. ath12k uses le32 and cpu_to_le32() macros to handle endian conversions, instead of using the firmware byte swap feature utilized by ath11k. There is only one kernel module, named ath12k.ko. Currently ath12k only supports HE mode (IEEE 802.11ax) or older, but work is ongoing to add EHT mode (IEEE 802.11be) support. The size of the driver is ~41 kLOC and 45 files. To make the review easier, this initial version of ath12k does not support Device Tree, debugfs or any other extra features. Those will be added later, after ath12k is accepted to upstream. The driver is build tested by Intel's kernel test robot with both GCC and Clang. Sparse reports no warnings. The driver is mostly free of checkpatch warnings, albeit few of the warnings are omitted on purpose, list of them here: https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife/blob/master/tools/scripts/ath12k/ath12k-check#L52 The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabetical order below.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21Z

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices

2019-11-25T12:16:34Z

ath11k is a new driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices, first supporting only IPQ8074 SoC using the shared memory AHB bus. ath11k uses mac80211 and supports AP, Station and Mesh modes. Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especially the WMI layer) it was concluded to be simpler to have a "clean start" for ath11k code base and not try to share the code with ath10k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, which would have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existing setups. Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are major differences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11k supports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. And there's only one WMI interface to support. Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for 802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k is accepted to upstream. The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository but they will be also submitted to linux-firmware: https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware This was tested with firmware version WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1.
