Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] linux-firmware: ath9k_htc - use newer firmware
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 13:47:44 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458038864-1872-1-git-send-email-abrodkin@synopsys.com> (raw)
Existing blobs are of version ath9k-htc 1.3.1, see
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=21a6c3e55df956dd223279627685778268ede70f
These are as said in the commit are left for compatibility with older
kernels which [older kernels] will look for blobs in the
root of "/lib/firmware".
But there're newer v1.4 blobs in ath9k_htc folder.
And newer kernels (>=4.4) look first in that new location
"/lib/firmware/ath9k_htc".
Note that even new kernels will fall back to previous location
if new one doesn't exist.
Tested with TP-LINK TL-WN722N (has Atheros AR9271 inside).
