Commit 0b8e3c4ca2 ("ath10k: move cal data len to hw_params") broke retrieving
the calibration data from cal_data debugfs file. The length of file was always
zero. The reason is:
static ssize_t ath10k_debug_cal_data_read(struct file *file,
char __user *user_buf,
size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
{
struct ath10k *ar = file->private_data;
void *buf = file->private_data;
This is obviously bogus, private_data cannot contain both struct ath10k and the
buffer. Fix it by caching calibration data to ar->debug.cal_data. This also
allows it to be accessed when the device is not active (interface is down).
The cal_data buffer is fixed size because during the first firmware probe we
don't yet know what will be the lenght of the calibration data. It was simplest
just to use a fixed length. There's a WARN_ON() in
ath10k_debug_cal_data_fetch() if the buffer is too small.
Tested with qca988x and firmware 10.2.4.70.56.

Unfortunately ath10k does not generally allow modifying the coverage class
with the stock firmware and Qualcomm has so far refused to implement this
feature so that it can be properly supported in ath10k. If we however know
the registers that need to be modified for proper operation with a higher
coverage class, then we can do these modifications from the driver.
This is a hack and might cause subtle problems but as it's not enabled by
default (only when user space changes the coverage class explicitly) it should
not cause new problems for existing setups. But still this should be considered
as an experimental feature and used with caution.
This patch implements the support for first generation cards (QCA9880, QCA9887
and so on) which are based on a core that is similar to ath9k. The registers
are modified in place and need to be re-written every time the firmware sets
them. To achieve this the register status is verified after certain WMI events
from the firmware.
The coverage class may not be modified temporarily right after the card
re-initializes the registers. This is for example the case during scanning.

Add NAPI support for rx and tx completion. NAPI poll is scheduled
from interrupt handler. The design is as below
- on interrupt
- schedule napi and mask interrupts
- on poll
- process all pipes (no actual Tx/Rx)
- process Rx within budget
- if quota exceeds budget reschedule napi poll by returning budget
- process Tx completions and update budget if necessary
- process Tx fetch indications (pull-push)
- push any other pending Tx (if possible)
- before resched or napi completion replenish htt rx ring buffer
- if work done < budget, complete napi poll and unmask interrupts
This change also get rid of two tasklets (intr_tq and txrx_compl_task).
Measured peak throughput with NAPI on IPQ4019 platform in controlled
environment. No noticeable reduction in throughput is seen and also
observed improvements in CPU usage. Approx. 15% CPU usage got reduced

During hw scan, firmware sends two channel information events (pre-
complete, complete) to host for each channel change. The snap shot of cycle
counters (rx_clear and total) between these two events are given for
survey dump. In order to get latest survey statistics of all channels, a
scan request has to be issued. In general, an AP DUT is brought up, it
won't leave BSS channel except few cases like overlapping bss or radar
detection. So survey statistics of bss channel is always referring to
older data that are collected before starting AP (either ACS/OBSS scan).
To collect latest survey information from target, firmware provides WMI
interface to read cycle counters from hardware. For each survey dump
request, BSS channel cycle counters are read and cleared in hardware.
This makes sure that behavior is in align with ath9k survey report.
So survey dump always gives snap shot of cycle counters b/w two survey
requests.

qca4019 calibration data is stored in the host memory and it's mandatory
to download it even before reading board id and chip id from the target.
Also, there is a need to execute otp (download and run) twice, one after
cal data download and another one after board data download.
Existing cal data file name 'cal-<bus>-<id>.bin' and device tree entry
'qcom,ath10k-calibration-data' used in ath10k has assumption that it
carries other data (like board data) also along with the calibration data.
But, qca4019 cal data contains pure calibration data (doesn't include
any other info). So, using existing same cal file name and DT entry
in qca4019 case would alter the purpose of it. To avoid this, new cal
file name 'pre-cal-<bus>-<id>.bin' and new device tree entry name
'qcom,ath10k-pre-calibration-data are introduced.
Overall qca4019's firmware download sequence would look like,
1) Download cal data (either from a file or device tree entry)
at the address specified by target in the host interest area
member "hi_board_data".
2) Download otp and run with 0x10 (PARAM_GET_EEPROM_BOARD_ID)
as a argument.
At this point, otp will take back up of downloaded cal data
content in another location in the target and return valid
board id and chip id to the host.
3) Download board data at the address specified by target
in host interest area member "hi_board_data".
4) Download otp and run with 0x10000 (PARAM_FLASH_SECTION_ALL) as
a argument.
Now otp will apply cal data content from it's backup on top
of board data download in step 3 and prepare final data base.
5) Download code swap and athwlan binary content.
Above sequences are implemented (step 1 to step 4) in the name of
pre calibration configuration.

The current/old tx path design was that host, at
its own leisure, pushed tx frames to the device.
For HTT there was ~1000-1400 msdu queue depth.
After reaching that limit the driver would request
mac80211 to stop queues. There was little control
over what packets got in there as far as
DA/RA was considered so it was rather easy to
starve per-station traffic flows.
With MU-MIMO this became a significant problem
because the queue depth was insufficient to buffer
frames from multiple clients (which could have
different signal quality and capabilities) in an
efficient fashion.
Hence the new tx path in 10.4 was introduced: a
pull-push mode.
Firmware and host can share tx queue state via
DMA. The state is logically a 2 dimensional array
addressed via peer_id+tid pair. Each entry is a
counter (either number of bytes or packets. Host
keeps it updated and firmware uses it for
scheduling Tx pull requests to host.
This allows MU-MIMO to become a lot more effective
with 10+ clients.

eventually, to ieee80211_txq to be used with
ieee80211_tx_dequeue().
Iterating over existing stations every time
peer_id needs to be mapped to a station would be
inefficient wrt CPU time.
The new firmware, which will be the only user of
the code flow-wise, will guarantee to use low
peer_ids first so despite peer_map's apparent huge
size d-cache thrashing should not be a problem.
Older firmware hot paths will effectively not use
peer_map.

The 10.4.3 firmware with congestion control
guarantees that each peer has only a single
peer_id mapping.
The 1:1 mapping isn't the case for older firmwares
(e.g. 10.4.1, 10.2, 10.1) but it should not
matter. This 1:1 mapping is going to be only used
by future code which inherently (flow-wise) is for
10.4.3.

Some of the parameter like tx/rx chain mask, number of htt tx desc,
qcache active peer count, etc goes via wmi init cmd to qca4019 firmware
are different.
To make use of 10.4 gen_init function for qca4019, change wmi service
ready handler and 10.4 wmi init functions to adapt qca4019 specific
init values.

qca4019 uses ahb instead of pci where it slightly differs in device
enumeration, clock control, reset control, etc. Good thing is that
ahb also uses copy engine for the data transaction. So, the most of
the stuff implemented in pci.c/ce.c are reusable in ahb case too.
Device enumeration in ahb case comes through platform driver/device
model. All resource details like irq, memory map, clocks, etc for
qca4019 can be fetched from of_node of platform device.
Simply flow would look like,
device tree => platform device (kernel) => platform driver (ath10k)
Device tree entry will have all qca4019 resource details and the same
info will be passed to kernel. Kernel will prepare new platform device
for that entry and expose DT info to of_node in platform device.
Later, ath10k would register platform driver with unique compatible name
and then kernels binds to corresponding compatible entry & calls ath10k
ahb probe functions. From there onwards, ath10k will take control of it
and move forward.
New bool flag CONFIG_ATH10K_AHB is added in Kconfig to conditionally
enable ahb support in ath10k. On enabling this flag, ath10k_pci.ko
will have ahb support. This patch adds only basic skeleton and few
macros to support ahb in the context of qca4019.

This feature flag will be used for firmware which
supports pull-push model where host shares it's
software queue state with firmware and firmware
generates fetch requests telling host which queues
to dequeue tx from.
Primary function of this is improved MU-MIMO
performance with multiple clients.
