QCA6174 SDIO support?

QCA6174 SDIO support?

[Marek Behun]

Hello,

we at CZ.NIC are trying the current ath10k driver with High Latency +
SDIO support (which was done by Silex Technology) on our board. The
supported chip, QCA9377, works, but we only have 1x1 MIMO boards with
this chip. We are trying to get it work with 8274B-SR (QCA6174)
( http://www.fn-link.com/a-b-g-n-ac-wi-fi-bt-module/8274b-sr.html )

There is already some code in sdio.c mentoining QCA6174, but there are
no nodes in ath10k_hw_params. Because QCA6174 is supported via PCI bus,
I tried to write the ath10k_hw_params node (see patch
http://blackhole.sk/~kabel/src/qca6174.patch ) but do not know if the
changes I did are enough, because the driver fails after loading
firmware.

And the firmware is another point: Does board-sdio.bin have to be
different from board.bin? Do we have to create this binary ourselves,
or should the 8274B-SR board manufacturer sent us one? (We didn't
receive anything from fn-link.)

Any information is good, please let us know even if you have NDA on
this and therefore cannot give any more information about this.

Thank you.

Marek Behun, CZ.NIC

This branch is almost the same as mine (orig + high latency patches +
sdio patches), therefore no QCA6174 SDIO node in ath10k_hw_params_list.

the problem i see is that this chipset is not available as SDIO chipset 
from qualcom. i cannot find any official specs for it
qualcom declares it as pcie only interface. qca6134 is sdio, but its no 
ath10k chipset and not 802.11ac capable

board-sdio.bin is nothing but the board.bin variant used by SDIO 
modules. Check with the board/module vendor for the board.bin. This is 
one possible cause for the firmware assert.

You also need to get the firmware-x.bin for QCA6174 SDIO module. I do 
not think that the PCIe firmware of QCA6174 or the SDIO firmware of 
QCA9377 would be compatible with this. If you do not have one, probably 
this information from Erik 
(https://github.com/erstrom/linux-ath/wiki/Firmware) would be of some 
help.
