Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] ath10k: Add support to configure BB timing for external FEM

This adds support to choose correct Base Band(BB) timing values based on
the input Front End Module(FEM) hardware name from Device Tree entry and
configure it in hardware through WMI interface. Since the BB timing values
can vary between FEM hardwares and not same as default value used
in reference hardware.

example
dt-bindings: net: ath10k: add new dt entry to identify external FEM
ath10k: Add support to configure BB timing over wmi

v2:
Addressed review comments in dt:
* Fixed node name and device type with new dt patch "dt-bindings: net: ath10k:
fix node name and device type in qcom ath10k example".
* Changed the dt patch subject to "dt-bindings: net: ath10k: add new dt entry
to identify external FEM".
* Added new property in existing example.
* Enumarated some valid FEM names.

v3:
Addressed review comments in valid fem names.

v4:
Corrected typo error in the commit log of PATCH 1/3.

Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] dt-bindings: net: ath10k: fix node name and device type in qcom ath10k example

In qcom,ath10k documentation, ath10k is used as node name in the example of
pci based device. Normally, node name should be class of device and not the
model name, so fix it to node name "wifi". And remove the property device_type
pci since only pci bridges should have this property.

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] dt-bindings: net: ath10k: add new dt entry to identify external FEM

This adds new dt entry ext-fem-name, it is used by ath10k driver
to select correct timing parameters and configure it in target wifi hardware.
The Front End Module(FEM) normally includes tx power amplifier(PA) and
rx low noise amplifier(LNA). The default timing parameters like tx end to
PA off timing values were fine tuned for internal FEM used in reference
design. And these timing values can not be same if ODM modifies hardware
design with different external FEM. This DT entry helps to choose correct
timing values in driver if different external FEM hardware used.

Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] ath10k: Add support to configure BB timing over wmi

Add wmi configuration cmd to configure base band(BB) power amplifier(PA)
off timing values in hardware. The default PA off timings were fine tuned
to make proper DFS radar detection in QCA reference design. If ODM uses
different PA in their design, then the same default PA off timing values
cannot be used, it requires different settling time to detect radar pulses
very sooner and avoid radar detection problems. In that case it provides
provision to select proper PA off timing values based on the PA hardware used.
The PA component is part of FEM hardware and new device tree entry
"ext-fem-name" is used to indentify the FEM hardware. And this wmi configuration
cmd is enabled via wmi service flag "WMI_SERVICE_BB_TIMING_CONFIG_SUPPORT".

Other way is to apply these values through calibration data, but recalibration
of all boards out there might not be feasible.

This change tested on firmware ver 10.2.4-1.0-00042 in QCA988X chipset.
