Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath12k: Remove broken frequency range filtering
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 21:27:49 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260123155750.6007-5-bjsaikiran@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260123155750.6007-1-bjsaikiran@gmail.com>

Between kernel 6.16 and 6.17, ath12k added frequency range filtering in
ath12k_reg_update_chan_list() that filters channels based on
ar->freq_range.start_freq and ar->freq_range.end_freq.

However, these values are reset to 0 in ath12k_regd_update(), causing
the filter to skip ALL channels:
    if (channel_freq < 0 || channel_freq > 0)  // Always true when end_freq=0
        continue;  // All channels skipped

This results in no channel list sent to firmware, causing 5 GHz Wi-Fi
to stop working.

Fix by removing the broken frequency range filtering. The firmware
itself handles frequency range restrictions based on hardware capabilities.

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00302 (Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x)
