Subject: [PATCH ath-next v3] wifi: ath12k: avoid setting 320MHz support on non 6GHz band
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:16:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623151613.72113-1-nico.escande@gmail.com> (raw)
On a split phy qcn9274 (2.4GHz + 5GHz low), "iw phy" reports 320MHz
related features on the 5GHz band while it should not:
Wiphy phy1
[...]
Band 2:
[...]
EHT Iftypes: managed
[...]
EHT PHY Capabilities: (0xe2ffdbe018778000):
320MHz in 6GHz Supported
[...]
Beamformee SS (320MHz): 7
[...]
Number Of Sounding Dimensions (320MHz): 3
[...]
EHT MCS/NSS: (0x22222222222222222200000000):
This is also reflected in the beacons sent by a mesh interface started on
that band. They erroneously advertise 320MHz support too.
This should not happen as IEEE Std 802.11-2024, subclause 9.4.2.323.3 says
we should not set the 320MHz related fields when not operating on a 6GHz
band. For example it says about Bit 0 "Support For 320 MHz In 6 GHz"
"Reserved if the EHT Capabilities element is indicating capabilities for
the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands."
Fix this by clearing the related bits when converting from WMI eht phy
capabilities to mac80211 phy capabilities, for bands other than 6GHz.
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00218-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

Changes from v2:
- rebased on ath-next
- fixed all typos
- changed wording in commit message & code comment
- also clear all other 6GHz related phy capabs
Changes from v1:
- rebased on ath-next
- clear all 6GHz / 320MHz related phy capabilities fields from the firmware
