This patch adds the patch that was posted to ath10k-devel ML:
<https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10233491/>
|From: Thomas Hebb <tommyhebb@gmail.com>
|Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: search all IEs for variant before falling back
|Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 11:43:39 -0500
|[...]
|This patch fixes the issue by first searching the entire file for the ID
|with variant, and searching for the fallback ID only if that search
|fails. It also includes some code cleanup in the area, as
|ath10k_core_fetch_board_data_api_n() no longer does its own string
|mangling to remove the variant from an ID, instead leaving that job to a
|new flag passed to ath10k_core_create_board_name().
|
|I've tested this patch on a QCA4019 and verified that the driver behaves
|correctly for 1) both fallback and variant BDFs present, 2) only fallback
|BDF present, and 3) no matching BDFs present.

Note: 937-ath10k-calibration-variant.patch has been reassigned a new 081
number, as it now ships with upstream.... But also because this patch
requires the change in ath10k_core_create_board_name().

Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
board data file is identified on QCA4019 using bus, bmi-chip-id and
bmi-board-id.
The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
fulfill the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
board data file.
This problem was solved for SMBIOS by adding a special SMBIOS type 0xF8.
Something similar has to be provided for systems without SMBIOS but with
device trees. No solution was specified by QCA and therefore a new one has
to be found for ath10k.
The device tree requires addition strings to define the variant name
wifi@a000000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
wifi@a800000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
This would create the boarddata identifiers for the board-2.bin search
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=RT-AC58U
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=RT-AC58U
