[PATCH v4 0/3] ath10k: Introduce a devicetree quirk to skip host cap QMI requests

[David Heidelberg via B4 Relay]

This quirk is used so far used on:
 - LG G7 ThinQ
 - Xiaomi Poco F1

I'm resending it after ~ 4 years since initial send due to Snapdragon
845 being one of best supported platform for mobile phones running
Linux, so it would be shame to not have shiny support.

Original thread:
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/b796bfee-b753-479a-a8d6-ba1fe3ee6222@ixit.cz/

I tried the embedding the information inside the firmware, but the
information is required *before* loading the firmware itself.

[PATCH v4 1/3] dt-bindings: wireless: ath10k: Add quirk to skip host cap QMI requests

[David Heidelberg via B4 Relay]

From: Amit Pundir <amit.pundir@linaro.org>

Some firmware versions do not support the host-capability QMI request.
Since this request occurs before firmware and board files are loaded,
the quirk cannot be expressed in the firmware itself and must be described
in the device tree.

DT folks, there is a pending DTS series [1] that would like to reference this
capability. Would like to get an ack so I can get this in the upcoming merge
window.

Property is fine, looks conflicting with qcom,snoc-host-cap-8bit-quirk
though. Either you skip QMI or use specific format of that request.

[PATCH v4 2/3] ath10k: Add device-tree quirk to skip host cap QMI requests

[David Heidelberg via B4 Relay]

From: Amit Pundir <amit.pundir@linaro.org>

Some firmware versions do not support the host capability QMI request.
Since this request occurs before firmware-N.bin and board-M.bin are
loaded, the quirk cannot be expressed in the firmware itself.

The root cause is unclear, but there appears to be a generation of
firmware that lacks host capability support.

Without this quirk, ath10k_qmi_host_cap_send_sync() returns
QMI_ERR_MALFORMED_MSG_V01 before loading the firmware. This error is not
fatal - Wi-Fi services still come up successfully if the request is simply
skipped.

Add a device-tree quirk to skip the host capability QMI request on devices
whose firmware does not support it.

For example, firmware build
"QC_IMAGE_VERSION_STRING=WLAN.HL.2.0.c3-00257-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1"
on Xiaomi Poco F1 phone requires this quirk.

I'm ok with this approach.

I need DT Review or ACK on the 1/3 patch in order to bring the first 2 patches

[PATCH v4 3/3] arm64: dts: qcom: sdm845-xiaomi-beryllium: Enable ath10k host-cap skip quirk

[David Heidelberg via B4 Relay]

From: Amit Pundir <amit.pundir@linaro.org>

The Wi-Fi firmware used on Xiaomi Poco F1 (beryllium) phone doesn't
support the host-capability QMI request, so add a quirk to skip it on
this device.

Sigh, I did NOT take v4 of this series.
I did take the 1-2/3 subset of v5.

Note the self: actually look at the output from 'b4 ty --dry-run' before
