e3ec7017 - rtw89: add Realtek 802.11ax driver

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 11:47:27 +0000

rtw89: add Realtek 802.11ax driverThis driver named rtw89, which is the next generation of rtw88, supportsRealtek 8852AE 802.11ax 2x2 chip whose new features are OFDMA, DBCC,Spatial reuse, TWT and BSS coloring; now some of them aren't implementedthough.The chip architecture is entirely different from the chips supported byrtw88 like RTL8822CE 802.11ac chip. First of all, register address rangesare totally redefined, so it's impossible to reuse register definition. Tocommunicate with firmware, new H2C/C2H format is proposed. In order to havebetter utilization, TX DMA flow is changed to two stages DMA. To providerich RX status information, additional RX PPDU packets are added.Since there are so many differences mentioned above, we decide to proposea new driver. It has many authors, they are listed in alphabetic order:Chin-Yen Lee Ping-Ke Shih Po Hao Huang Tzu-En Huang Vincent Fann Yan-Hsuan Chuang Zong-Zhe Yang Tested-by: Aaron Ma Tested-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Ping-Ke Shih Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211008035627.19463-1-pkshih@realtek.com List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/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/realtek/Kconfig

e3037485 - rtw88: new Realtek 802.11ac driver

Fri, 26 Apr 2019 12:17:37 +0000

rtw88: new Realtek 802.11ac driverThis is a new mac80211 driver for Realtek 802.11ac wireless network chips.rtw88 now supports RTL8822BE/RTL8822CE now, with basic station modefunctionalities. The firmware for both can be found at linux-firmware.https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.gitFor RTL8822BE: rtw88/rtw8822b_fw.binFor RTL8822CE: rtw88/rtw8822c_fw.binAnd for now, only PCI buses (RTL8xxxE) are supported. We will add supportfor USB and SDIO in the future. The bus interface abstraction can be seenin this driver such as hci.h. Most of the hardware setting are the sameexcept for some TRX path or probing setup should be separated.Supported: * Basic STA/AP/ADHOC mode, and TDLS (STA is well tested)Missing feature: * WOW/PNO * USB & SDIO bus (such as RTL8xxxU/RTL8xxxS) * BT coexistence (8822B/8822C are combo ICs) * Multiple interfaces (for now single STA is better supported) * Dynamic hardware calibrations (to improve/stabilize performance)Potential problems: * static calibration spends too much time, and it is painful for driver to leave IDLE state. And slows down associate process. But reload function are under development, will be added soon! * TRX statictics misleading, as we are not reporting status correctly, or say, not reporting for "every" packet.The next patch set should have BT coexistence code since RTL8822B/C arecombo ICs, and the driver for BT can be found after Linux Kernel v4.20.So it is better to add it first to make WiFi + BT work concurrently.Although now rtw88 is simple but we are developing more features for it.Even we want to add support for more chips such as RTL8821C/RTL8814B.Finally, rtw88 has many authors, listed alphabetically:Ping-Ke Shih Tzu-En Huang Yan-Hsuan Chuang Reviewed-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Reviewed-by: Brian Norris Tested-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Yan-Hsuan Chuang Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Kconfig

a6cf02e6 - net/wireless: fix spaces and grammar copy/paste in vendor Kconfig help text

Sat, 03 Mar 2018 02:03:30 +0000

net/wireless: fix spaces and grammar copy/paste in vendor Kconfig help textLots of the wireless driver vendor Kconfig symol help text says"questions about cards." (2 spaces between "about" and "cards")Besides dropping one of those spaces, it also needs some other wordinserted there. Instead of putting each vendor's name there, I choseto say "these" cards in all of the Kconfig help text.Cc: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/Kconfig
