What is this q6_rproc DTS property (and why doesn't have it a qcom, prefix and 
not just called qcom,rproc)? I cannot find a public use of this and there also 
doesn't seem to be documentation for it. Still it is required to bring up the 
device without IPQ_SUBSYSTEM_RESTART (which is not available in the upstream 
kernel) but with remoteproc.

The first reference I could find this in your internal linux-msm [1] was also 
in this driver. There were also some function named similar in the q6v6 adsp/
q6v5 wcss driver [2] but no actual use in a dts or documentation. A wcss pil 
driver for remoteproc seems to be upstream now [3] but it isn't used 
anywhere.



Back to your QCA kernel to try out the remoteproc based image loading code
(which I wanted to use to check if there is a difference regarding the BDF 
loading problem mentioned in the other mail):

I have now tried to set it to q6v5_wcss (compatible qca,q6v5-wcss-rproc)
for your internal 4.4 tree

    --- linux-4.4.60.orig/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/qcom-ipq807x-soc.dtsi
    +++ linux-4.4.60/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/qcom-ipq807x-soc.dtsi

     		};
     
     		wifi0: wifi@c0000000 {
    -			compatible = "qcom,cnss-qca8074";
    +			compatible = "qcom,ipq8074-wifi";
    +			q6_rproc = <&q6v5_wcss>;
     			reg = <0xc000000 0x2000000>;
     			qcom,hw-mode-id = <1>;
     			qcom,tgt-mem-mode = <0>;

But this one is not accepted as rproc. Problem is that start_q6 isn't 
called (which would register it as rproc). Without this, it will not come 
find the rproc and thus stop the startup of the ath11k driver. Unsure who is
responsible here to call the subsys_desc.powerup because subsystem_restart.c 
is the only thing implementing this code (but it is depending on 
CONFIG_IPQ_SUBSYSTEM_RESTART - the thing which was disabled here to have the 
rproc code path for image loading).

Btw. there is also q6v5_m3 - unsure whether this is also related. But its 
start_m3 is also not called.

As as start, it would be good to know first what q6_rproc should refer to.

Kind regards,
	Sven

I just saw the commit 

    Subject: ath11k: add qmi API support and rproc_boot for Q6
    
    rproc_boot() is used to power up the Q6 remote processor.
    Q6 has the QMI server running. on Q6 power up 'qrtr-cfg'
    and 'qrtr-ns' applications will send the .new_server()
    notification to ath11k driver.
      - qrtr source 'https://github.com/andersson/qrtr'
    
    Load the BDF/cal-data and share the CE config to Q6 target
    using the below list of QMI messages.

This one basically removes the support for the QCA 4.4 kernel with 
IPQ_SUBSYSTEM_RESTART - which is the one we tried to use in the past. What is 
now the correct one to use and where can I find the info what qcom,rproc 
refers to in the DTS?

Kind regards,
	Sven
