[PATCH 0/7] net: wireless: wcn36xx: add basic wcn3620 support

[Andy Green]

The following series adds some basic wcn3620 support to the
mainline wcn36xx driver.

 - modify the chip detection to be told which chip from
   platform ops, which can get it from Device Tree... the
   existing detection is just assume it's a wcn3680 if it
   has AC mode which is not enough

 - Adapt the DXE register selection to use 3680 mode for
   3620 as well

 - Add a couple of async "indication" messages which can
   appear down smd on 3620, just accept and ignore

 - Accept a modified form of trigger_ba response that is
   sent by the wcn3620 firmware, if device is a 3620

 - Disable powersaving mode if 3620

With these the 3620 can associate and work for a while
before needing to be forcibly reassociated again.

It's tested on an msm8916-QRD "phone" dev platform that
includes wcn3620.

Please just use "wcn36xx: ", you should drop "net: wireless: " entirely.

OK.

Can you help me understand what you'd like to see happen with the chip
variant detection stuff?

There's a comment sent to one list only saying it might be preferable
to keep the old detection code as the default.  But there are no
in-tree users of wcn36xx (mainly due to PIL not being in mainline, I
guess).

The old test's equivalence that AC == 3680 seems kind of weak to me
and establishing the type must be passed in from platform code
reflects the situation that there's no public way to detect the chip
type from Qualcomm.  In the second not-for-upstream series I use that
to pass it in from DT, which is how it'd be normally used.

I haven't looked at wcn36xx for a long time so I'm not really the right
person to answer. I'm more like a desk jockey now ;)

Please remember that the DT bindings document has to be acked by the
device-tree maintainers.

[PATCH 2/7] net: wireless: wcn36xx: get chip type from platform ops

[Andy Green]

Autodetecting the chip type does not work well.
Stop attempting to do it and require a platform op
that tells us what the chip is.

(This all assumes this driver is currently actually being used)

Doesn't this change break any current users of wcn36xx?  Couldn't you
just take the old wcn36xx_detect_chip_version and either add the check
for get_chip_type to the beginning and make it use it and return, or
fall back to the old 'broken' way?

Another alternative would be to update wcn36xx_detect_chip_version to
behave like you expect get_chip_type to, and make it the default and let
platforms override it.

(This all assumes this driver is currently actually being used)

Doesn't this change break any current users of wcn36xx?  Couldn't you
just take the old wcn36xx_detect_chip_version and either add the check
for get_chip_type to the beginning and make it use it and return, or
fall back to the old 'broken' way?

Another alternative would be to update wcn36xx_detect_chip_version to
behave like you expect get_chip_type to, and make it the default and let
platforms override it.

It's related to BT coexistance or radar... prima expects this payload with it

#define WLAN_HAL_MAX_AVOID_FREQ_RANGE           4

typedef PACKED_PRE struct PACKED_POST
{
   tANI_U32     startFreq;
   tANI_U32     endFreq;
}  tHalFreqRange, *tpHalFreqRange;

typedef PACKED_PRE struct PACKED_POST
{
   tANI_U32         avoidCnt;
   tHalFreqRange    avoidRange[WLAN_HAL_MAX_AVOID_FREQ_RANGE];

Basically wcn firmware can propose up to 4 frequency ranges to not use
for whatever reason... prima looks like it tries to disable channels
accordingly.

[PATCH 5/7] net: wireless: wcn36xx: swallow two wcn3620 IND messages

WCN3620 can asynchronously send two new kinds of indication message,
since we can't handle them just accept them quietly.

Hi Andy,

I have the same problem (Data Abort Exception in wcnss) on 3680, this
with my wip smd code and a hacked up remoteproc-pil. I haven't spent
any effort on debugging this, but it looks like it's something related
to what we have ported to mainline (or lack thereof) rather than a
3620 specific issue.

Bjorn

Makes sense since I only have 3620, I assumed it's related to that.

However he can work for a while with powersaving on, but ping
latencies are +600-800ms and he's shaky.

Later I found something mac80211 generic scan preparation or post-scan
code (for scan initiated by wpa_supplicant) is able to stop wlan
traffic after a few goes even if the actual scan mode smd is not sent.

At that point I think a nice solution would be a donation of time from
guys who specialize in wcn for a living to come and hand out a pony or
two...

However he can work for a while with powersaving on, but ping
latencies are +600-800ms and he's shaky.

Later I found something mac80211 generic scan preparation or post-scan
code (for scan initiated by wpa_supplicant) is able to stop wlan
traffic after a few goes even if the actual scan mode smd is not sent.

At that point I think a nice solution would be a donation of time from
guys who specialize in wcn for a living to come and hand out a pony or

Sounds great thanks.

I also tried hostapd which is fully workable without encryption, plus
or minus the instabilities mentioned.  But for wpa, he chokes trying
to inject a packet.  So it's another pony needed from somewhere.

Can I ask if smdtty will also appear?  I uplevelled and hacked smdtty
a bit from a 3.10 reference tree for 8916-qrd, and I was able to get
wcn3620 BT working stably for BT keyboard + mouse and even ad2p.

However the hack bound together smdtty ch2 + 3 in smdtty driver and
made it understand about the missing hci protocol byte... this is far
from reasonable for upstream, but it works like the 3.10 except needs
no special bluez / userland treatment.  So I'm curious if no smdtty
how the split smd hci / acl link in firmware will appear coherently to
userspace as a normal uart.

I'm not entirely sure how we're to proceed with this one.

In msm-3.4 with BlueZ the kernel has a driver named hci_smd, that
consumes the two channels and register with the hci core.

In msm-3.10 Qualcomm have dropped this, because they are running
bluedroid which instead consumes the two smd channels in userspace
(through the smd_pkt driver).

We need smd_pkt for modem related matters anyways, so on that we can
run bluedroid and we could bring in hci_smd for use with BlueZ. But
then we would have to configure the kernel based on what stack we want
to run on top.

So we should probably look into userspace and try to consolidate
things there before deciding where to take this.

Bjorn

I understand, although it's a shame to make a whole new protocol in
bluez when it's just the normal protocol with a byte trimmed at the
start of a block.  It can work with stock distro bluez out of the box
if the kernel binds the channels.

The hci_smd thing sounds okay, maybe he can be a module and Android /
bluedroid just doesn't have the module in the rootfs, traditional
Linux gets the module and udev inserts him.

[PATCH 7/7] net: wireless: wcn36xx: handle new trigger_ba format

[Andy Green]

wcn3620 has a new message structure for the reply to trigger_ba
We don't know what to do with the candidate list he sends back,
but we can at least accept and ignore it nicely instead of dying.

arg... it looks like the code is starting to have to many
if(chip_version) cases. Mabe we should concider separate files for
chip specific logic.
