d8899132 - wifi: ath12k: driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 15:09:53 +0000

wifi: ath12k: driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devicesath12k is a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices, firstsupporting QCN9274 and WCN7850 PCI devices. QCN9274 supports both APand 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 tohave a "clean start" for the new generation and not try to share thecode with ath11k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids majorchanges in ath11k, which would have significantly increased the riskof regressions in existing setups.ath12k uses le32 and cpu_to_le32() macros to handle endianconversions, instead of using the firmware byte swap feature utilizedby ath11k. There is only one kernel module, named ath12k.ko.Currently ath12k only supports HE mode (IEEE 802.11ax) or older, butwork is ongoing to add EHT mode (IEEE 802.11be) support.The size of the driver is ~41 kLOC and 45 files. To make the revieweasier, this initial version of ath12k does not support Device Tree,debugfs or any other extra features. Those will be added later, afterath12k is accepted to upstream.The driver is build tested by Intel's kernel test robot with both GCCand Clang. Sparse reports no warnings. The driver is mostly free ofcheckpatch warnings, albeit few of the warnings are omitted onpurpose, list of them here:https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife/blob/master/tools/scripts/ath12k/ath12k-check#L52The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabeticalorder below.Co-developed-by: Balamurugan Selvarajan Signed-off-by: Balamurugan Selvarajan Co-developed-by: Baochen Qiang Signed-off-by: Baochen Qiang Co-developed-by: Bhagavathi Perumal S Signed-off-by: Bhagavathi Perumal S Co-developed-by: Carl Huang Signed-off-by: Carl Huang Co-developed-by: Jeff Johnson Signed-off-by: Jeff Johnson Co-developed-by: Karthikeyan Periyasamy Signed-off-by: Karthikeyan Periyasamy Co-developed-by: P Praneesh Signed-off-by: P Praneesh Co-developed-by: Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu Signed-off-by: Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu Co-developed-by: Ramya Gnanasekar Signed-off-by: Ramya Gnanasekar Co-developed-by: Sriram R Signed-off-by: Sriram R Co-developed-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan Co-developed-by: Wen Gong Signed-off-by: Wen Gong Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig

a7f7f624 - treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

Sat, 13 Jun 2020 16:50:22 +0000

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been graduallydecreasing, 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 thefollowing commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig

d5c65159 - ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices

Sat, 23 Nov 2019 07:58:40 +0000

ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devicesath11k is a new driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices, firstsupporting only IPQ8074 SoC using the shared memory AHB bus. ath11kuses mac80211 and supports AP, Station and Mesh modes.Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especiallythe 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. Thismakes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, whichwould have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existingsetups.Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are majordifferences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11ksupports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. Andthere's only one WMI interface to support.Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k isaccepted to upstream.The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository butthey will be also submitted to linux-firmware:https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmwareThis was tested with firmware version WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1.The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabeticalorder below.Signed-off-by: Anilkumar Kolli Signed-off-by: Bhagavathi Perumal S Signed-off-by: Ganesh Sesetti Signed-off-by: Govindaraj Saminathan Signed-off-by: John Crispin Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Karthikeyan Periyasamy Signed-off-by: kbuild test robot Signed-off-by: Maharaja Kennadyrajan Signed-off-by: Manikanta Pubbisetty Signed-off-by: Miles Hu Signed-off-by: Muna Sinada Signed-off-by: Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan Signed-off-by: Sathishkumar Muruganandam Signed-off-by: Shashidhar Lakkavalli Signed-off-by: Sriram R Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan Signed-off-by: Venkateswara Naralasetty List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig

23c1d7f6 - wireless: allow Atheros card to not depend on ath.ko

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 16:57:19 +0000

wireless: allow Atheros card to not depend on ath.koThere are 2 different things:- sub-menu for "Atheros Wireless cards" family- module ath.ko with common Atheros codeUntil now, they both used to depend on the same Kconfig variable ATH_COMMON.Thus, being "Atheros card" and "depending on ath.ko" was the same.To allow module to belong to the"Atheros Wireless cards" family but not use ath.ko,2 conditions above need to be separated.So, this patch introduce new Kconfig variable ATH_CARDS for belongingto the "Atheros Wireless Cards" family; while ATH_COMMON becomes hiddenvariable to express dependency on common Atheros code in ath.ko. Modulesthat depend on this common code now express it by setting ATH_COMMON.Right now, ath6kl do not depend on common code and thus do not set ATH_COMMON.Signed-off-by: Vladimir Kondratiev Signed-off-by: John W.

bdcd8170 - Add ath6kl cleaned up driver

Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:22:30 +0000

Add ath6kl cleaned up driverLast May we started working on cleaning up ath6kl driver which iscurrently in staging. The work has happened in a separateath6kl-cleanup tree:http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl-cleanup.git;a=summaryAfter over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I wouldlike to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wirelesstrees and replacing the staging driver.The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver.The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26to zero :)There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which wedecided to omit for now:drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31: WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility leveldrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527: WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms; see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txtThe driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specificstructures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't haveany big endian hardware to test that right now.We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. Thecode is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers.Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are:o HCI over SDIO supporto nl80211 testmodeo firmware loggingo suspend supportTestmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCIover SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs toshare code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to researchmore.Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support.As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations Idecided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16and sle32, especially from wmi.h.Various people have been working on the cleanup, the hall offame based on number of patches is: 543 Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan 403 Raja Mani 252 Kalle Valo 16 Vivek Natarajan 12 Suraj Sumangala 3 Joe Perches 2 Jouni MalinenSigned-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan Signed-off-by: Raja Mani Signed-off-by: Vivek Natarajan Signed-off-by: Suraj Sumangala Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig
