[PATCH 1/5] ath10k: improve 11b coex

[Michal Kazior]

Some firmware revisions need peer phymode to be
specified as MODE_11B when associating as station
to a 11b AP. Otherwise they can starve other
stations.

[PATCH 2/5] ath10k: fix STA u-APSD

[Michal Kazior]

To comply with WMM-PS the device shouldn't wake up
with a NullFunc frame pair when tx-ing. Instead PM
bit on each tx frame should be used.

To make this work correctly firmware needs to be
told to use a different STA PS wake threshold when
u-APSD is enabled.

Oops. This is wrong. I should keep the goto.

There are also some Rx performance issues related to excessive PS-Poll usage.

I'll re-spin later.

[PATCH 3/5] ath10k: prevent invalid ps timeout config

[Michal Kazior]

Setting 0 ps timeout to firmware yields very poor
latency and traffic issues. This is the case when
multi-vif is active.

[PATCH 5/5] ath10k: advertise p2p dev support

[Michal Kazior]

Firmware doesn't allow precise tx rate control so
P2P wasn't entirely spec compliant (it was using
CCK rates in some cases).

The only way to make sure firmware doesn't use CCK
rates is to have a vdev with P2P subtype used for
scanning and tx. This can be done via a special
dedicated P2P device interface support.

This also removes the ancient hack from ath10k in
favor of p2pdev.

[PATCH v2 3/5] ath10k: prevent invalid ps timeout config

[Michal Kazior]

Setting 0 ps timeout to firmware yields very poor
latency and traffic issues. This is the case when
multi-vif is active.

[Michal Kazior]

Per-vif bss_conf.ps should be used to configure
powersave.

[PATCH v2 5/5] ath10k: advertise p2p dev support

[Michal Kazior]

Firmware doesn't allow precise tx rate control so
P2P wasn't entirely spec compliant (it was using
CCK rates in some cases).

The only way to make sure firmware doesn't use CCK
rates is to have a vdev with P2P subtype used for
scanning and tx. This can be done via a special
dedicated P2P device interface support.

This also removes the ancient hack from ath10k in
favor of p2pdev.
