Subject: [PATCH v10 04/21] wifi: nxpwifi: add 802.11h DFS/TPC support for 5 GHz operation
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2026 22:39:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305143939.3724868-5-jeff.chen_1@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260305143939.3724868-1-jeff.chen_1@nxp.com>
Introduce 802.11h functionality to enable DFS and Transmit Power Control
(TPC) handling required for 5 GHz regulatory compliance.
Handle DFS Channel Availability Check (CAC), including start, timeout,
and abort flows, and process firmware radar reports via
HOST_CMD_CHAN_REPORT_REQUEST and corresponding events. Support channel
switch operations with AP restart and beacon updates through cfg80211.
Implement TPC handling during association using the power capability and
local power constraint elements. Delegate radar detection to firmware,
while the driver constructs TLVs, processes events, and integrates with
cfg80211 for state updates and notifications.
