Subject: [PATCH 10/19] wifi: rtw88: coex: reassert the antenna path when associating
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 20:32:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724183200.196704-1-luka.gejak@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724181858.192903-1-luka.gejak@linux.dev>
From: Luka Gejak <luka.gejak@linux.dev>
The vendor ConnectNotify() returns early without sending H2C commands
when BT is disabled, because the scan path has already established the
antenna configuration, coexistence table and PS-TDMA. What it does keep
is a register level reassertion of the PTA antenna at associate start,
without which the antenna can be left pointing at BT across the
authentication exchange.
Add that reassertion, and the pre-authentication H2C sequence that the
join path added later needs.
Signed-off-by: Luka Gejak <luka.gejak@linux.dev>
