Subject: [PATCH 1/1] wifi: ath12k: support calibration-variant from device tree
Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:32:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260131003222.2011259-1-andrewjlamarche@gmail.com> (raw)
ath10k and ath11k support reading calibration variants from the device
tree to locate the correct Board Description File (BDF). The ath12k-wsi
binding already describes using qcom,calibration-variant and
qcom,ath12k-calibration-variant, but it is not implemented in the code.
Many ath12k designs expose all the radios under a single phy, each of
which typically require a separate BDF. Without this, the radios may not
come up or will not be calibrated correctly.
Fix this by parsing the device tree for the generation-agnostic
qcom,calibration-variant node or ath12k-specific
qcom,ath12k-calibration-variant node. This allows the driver to properly
select, read and apply the correct BDF.
