[PATCH v3 0/3] Add support for Qualcomm WCN3610

[PATCH v3 0/3] Add support for Qualcomm WCN3610

[Kerigan Creighton]

The WCN3610 is a 2.4GHz-only WLAN/BT combo chip used in some 
cheaper Android and Windows phones such as the Lumia 550, and 
IoT devices like the Anki Vector robot. It shares a lot in 
common with the WCN3620.

This series adds support for the WCN3610 across the necessary 
subsystems:

   * Document the new compatible string (patch 1).
   * Add compatible string in qcom_wcnss_iris (patch 2).
   * Add rf_id and CFGs for the WCN3610 in wcn36xx, disable
     powersave for this specific chip, ensure it is 2.4GHz-only
     (patch 3).

Tested on an Anki Vector 1.0 and 2.0 robot. Support for other 
WCN36xx chips has not been affected.

Changes in v2:
 - Move the Documentation patch to the beginning of the patch set.
 - Move remoteproc compatible string addition to the middle of 
   the patch set.
 - Add Reviewed-by Dmitry (thanks!) to remoteproc compatible patch.
 - Move wcn36xx driver changes to the end of the patch set.

Changes in v3:
 - Describe the hardware rather than the driver in the 
   dt-bindings patch [Krzysztof].
 - Describe why we need a new compatible in the remoteproc 
   patch [Krzysztof].
 - Describe where the CFG values came from in the wcn36xx 
   driver patch [Konrad].

[PATCH v3 1/3] dt-bindings: remoteproc: qcom,wcnss-pil: Add wcn3610 compatible

[Kerigan Creighton]

The Qualcomm WCN3610 is a 2.4GHz-only WLAN/BT combo chip.
It's similar to the WCN3620, though more basic. Add a
wcn3610 compatible for use in device trees.

It needs its own compatible because of chip-specific
configuration done in wcn36xx.

[PATCH v3 2/3] remoteproc: qcom_wcnss_iris: Add support for WCN3610

[Kerigan Creighton]

WCN3610 has the same regulator requirements as
WCN3620, so in qcom_wcnss_iris, we can use wcn3620_data.

A separate compatible is needed for WCN3610 because the
wcn36xx driver uses it for chip-specific configuration.
Specifically, it sets BTC (Bluetooth Coexistence) CFGs,
disables ENABLE_DYNAMIC_RA_START_RATE, and disables
STA_POWERSAVE for this specific chip for stable
functionality.

This goes to the binding description where you describe the hardware,
how I asked.

[PATCH v3 3/3] wifi: wcn36xx: Add support for WCN3610

[Kerigan Creighton]

The WCN3610 has a lot in common with the other wcn36xx
chips, so much of that code was reused.

The WCN3610 requires specific configuration values for
stable Wi-Fi. Without these values, there's packet loss.
An extra CFG table was made so other chips are not affected.

ENABLE_DYNAMIC_RA_START_RATE=0 was discovered from the
downstream prima driver. That brought it from 95% to 5%
packet loss. The rest of the CFG values came from my own
observations and experimentation. The current settings
allow for 0% packet loss.

STA_POWERSAVE resulted in BMPS errors and unstable
functionality, thus it has been disabled for just this
chip.

Tested on an Anki Vector 1.0 and 2.0 robot with 3
different APs. Support for other WCN36xx chips has not
been affected.

STA_POWERSAVE is disabled, but the interface still enters BMPS mode as
controlled by mac80211. If you get the opportunity, It would be useful
to air-capture the power‑save entry and exit events when this occurs,
so we can verify that the transitions behave as expected.

[re-sent with full cc list]
I only had the chance to test it with one AP, but wireshark does show
clean power-save entry and exit transitions. Once I do more testing,
I will make a v4 which:

 - Adds these power-save findings to the patch 3 commit message
 - Amends all commit messages so they are wrapped better
 - Amends patch 1 to include a better description of the hardware

Thanks for the review,
- Kerigan
