Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Add xo calibration support for wifi rf clock

PMIC XO is the clock source for wifi rf clock in integrated wifi
chipset ex: WCN3990. Due to board layout errors XO frequency drifts
can cause wifi rf clock inaccuracy.
XO calibration test tree in Factory Test Mode is used to find the
best frequency offset(for example +/-2KHz )by programming XO trim
register. This ensure system clock stays within required 20 ppm
WLAN rf clock.

Retrieve the xo trim offset via system firmware (e.g., device tree),
especially in the case where the device doesn't have a useful EEPROM
on which to store the calibrated XO offset (e.g., for integrated Wifi).
Calibrated XO offset is sent to fw, which compensate the clock drift
by programing the XO trim register.

Testing:
Tested on QCS404 platform(WCN3990 HW)
Tested FW: WLAN.HL.3.1-00959-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1

change since v1:
Added return check for case where xo cal dt is not populated.

Who is responsible to fill in this values in the device-tree? On other
products, the correct XTAL capacitor registers values are calibrated on
different devices (in the same product line) separately to ensure that each
device has a minimal inaccuracy. During the boot of the device, the two u8
taken from params_for_tuning_caps (inside the EEPROM) are just written to the
AR_CH0_XTAL register (mapped to the correct the INDAC and OUTDAC region).

Your patch here seems to be doing something similar (you may correct me if I
misinterpret something) but you are already saying that these devices don't
have an EEPROM. This is already quite odd because then we also wouldn't have
temperature compensation (also stored in per device EEPROM/precal data for
other devices).

So you move it to the device tree. By default, this device tree is most likely
a static thing which is shipped with the rest of the firmware. So no per
device data is stored in this DTB on the flash. To include device specific
information (mac addresses, calibration data, ...), you could also have the
bootloader (u-boot for example) change the device tree during the boot process
and let it inject the device specific XO trim register data.

How is this planned to work? Is the bootloader expected to modify the device
tree during the boot to provide the device specific xo-cal-data. If yes, where
is it getting the information from? And is there already support for QDART for
it?

If you do this, why aren't you using the data from qcom,ath10k-pre-
calibration-data. At least for other ath10k devices, it includes the
previously mentioned tuning caps. It is the first time I heard about an XO
trim register and thus it might be something different than what I expect.


Last question: why is it an u32 when the message with xo_cal_data can only
transport an u8?

Kind regards,
Sven

This is populated via boot-loader/system fw(for chrome-OS its coreboot).
Post calibration QDART writes to non-volatile/persist region and
during boot up boot loader fills this value in dt node as there is
no otp region or EPROM available.

Per device data will be stored in NOR flash by QDART and dt entry will
be populated during boot by bootloader.
Here we are trying to set the xo trim register of PMIC xtal, which is
the base clk source of wifi rf clk.

No, Integrated chip set ex:WCN3990 does not use
ath10k-pre-calibration-data.

Yes, this i will fix in next version.

"2.2.4 Properties
...
Nonstandard property names should specify a unique string prefix, such
as a stock ticker symbol, identifying the name of the company or
organization that defined the property. Examples:
fsl,channel-fifo-len ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s
linux,network-index"

In other words, like most other custom properties in this file, you
should probably have a "qcom," prefix.
