[PATCH] ath10k: Fix reported HT MCS rates with NSS > 1

[Sven Eckelmann]

The QCA4019 firmware 10.4-3.2.1-00050 reports only HT MCS rates between
0-9. But 802.11n MCS rates can be larger than that. For example a 2x2
device can send with up to MCS 15.

The firmware encodes the higher MCS rates using the NSS field. The actual
calculation is not documented by QCA but it seems like the NSS field can be
mapped for HT rates to following MCS offsets:

 * NSS 1: 0
 * NSS 2: 8
 * NSS 3: 16
 * NSS 4: 24

This offset therefore has to be added for HT rates before they are stored
in the rate_info struct.

So you leave VHT as is. Did you check with 11ac device? I am wondering
if it needs the same change.

VHT MCS rates are reported by drivers with NSS + MCS rates 0-9 [1] as 
separated values. So I would say that the code is correct to report them as 
separate values. But no, I haven't tested with an 802.11ac capable device 
which I can fully trust because I didn't have one in arms reach (and I would 
have to compile a new firmware for it). But the output for a second ath10k 
based device looks ok'ish:

Hm, yes there is most likely something wrong. But not sure whether this patch 
is actually the culprit. It looks to me like this would also be reported the 
same way without the patch. cec17c382140 ("ath10k: add per peer htt tx stats 
support for 10.4") seems to be your problem, right?

This patch only splits WMI_RATE_PREAMBLE_HT & WMI_RATE_PREAMBLE_VHT. And for 
WMI_RATE_PREAMBLE_HT (*not VHT*), it uses a slightly different approach. But 
the WMI_RATE_PREAMBLE_VHT part (which you see in your logs) is basically 
untouched.

Kind regards,
	Sven

Until we find out what the heck VHT MCS 15 should mean in this context - maybe.
But to the message - no, the message is most likely not necessary for each 
received "invalid" peer tx stat.

This validation check expects peer tx stat packets from FW contain 
reasonable values and gives warning if values are different from 
expectation. The problem comes from the assumption that "it always 
contains reasonable stat value" which is wrong at least based on my 
results. For instance, the reason MCS == 15 is because all 4 bits of mcs 
potion set to 1, not because FW really sets it to 15 intentionally. when 
the mcs potion bits are set to all 1s, the other bits such as nss are 
also set to all 1s.
Hence it looks FW passed totally invalid stat info to me.
I don't have preference on whether it's better to split VHT and HT check 
or not, but it is more appropriate to change that warning level to debug 
level.

I think we should add a special case to not print the warning if mcs =3D=3D
15 until we figure out what it means.

Is it known when this will be released and for which firmware/HW versions? And 
will this also fix the legacy rate reports? At least in the moment, 
ath10k_htt_fetch_peer_stats seems to generate following on QCA4019 for some 
clients:

    [ 1627.720177] ath10k_ahb a800000.wifi: Invalid legacy rate 26 peer stats
    [ 1632.010290] ath10k_ahb a800000.wifi: Invalid legacy rate 26 peer stats

Kind regards,
	Sven
