Subject: [PATCH] ar9170: added phy register initialisation from eeprom values

This patch adds the initialisation of some PHY registers
from the modal_header[] values in the EEPROM (see otus/hal/hpmain.c, line 333 ff.)

Thanks for the comments. I agree with all of them and will re-spin a patch.

Yes, at first sight it looks really complex but it isn't.

Turned out I had a corrupt firmware file. After downloading from Luis' URL it works fine
with my WNDA3100. Guess I had an earlier version from before 2009/05/28 or firefox corrupted it during download.

What's your setup to get 80+ MBit/s throughput with the two-stage firmware?
I've used an 802.11g AP so far, but have access to an 802.11n dual-band AP now.
Guess I should use 5GHz as 2.4 is rather crowded here.
How can I put ar9170 into 802.11n/40MHz mode?

Regards,
J?rg.

Great!

well, there's still a thing... we can only copy what's there in driver,
But since the two-stage fw is capable of reinitializing
the rf/phy we could do all sorts of stuff without breaking it.

simply another 11n card a few meters away (but in the same room of course,
since the 5GHz band doesn't like to go through concrete)

I tested a few configurations and only with a rt2860pci was able to get a
satisfying result over a small distance (7 m, but still in the same room ;) )
Other cards: like the ar5416 also worked, but not that well (tx rates halved)
and iwl4965, iwl5300 didn't work at all in n. (but they're flying with 11a)

well you need a patch which lets you use the MCS rates and
kicks off BlockAck sessions. I posted a version some time
ago, (AFAIK initial RFC?). However due to fact that the code belongs
into the rc-algorithm and the lack of "out-house testing" feedback,
I had to drop it. I can send you an _updated_ (well, it should apply without
fuzz... but you still have to select the MCS by hand) version if you want,
however not until Friday. Of course, If you have free time on your hand,
you could do the fix-ups by yourself and start the madNess right on! ;-)

(Note: Felix is looking into minstrel/HT. I expect once the code is
available, that we only have to patch ar9170 just a _little_ bit to get
it _sort of_ working.
(it might never probably work with the current available firmwares,
since the BA tx_status is totally bogus)

meh, no hardware... and only a shitty kiosk with web-interface here.
testing has to wait until the weekend.

See Documentation/CodingStyle - Chapter 8

The preferred style for long (multi-line) comments is:
/*
* look up a certain register in ar5416_phy_init[] and return the init. value
* for the band and bandwidth given. Return 0 if register address not found.
*/

please consider this instead:
static u32 ar9170_get_default_phy_reg_val(u32 reg, [...])
(static function, and reg is a u32)

hmm, it's a bit odd to use pointers over a fixed array,
what about (unfortunately space and line damaged... and untested):

{
unsigned int i;
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(ar5416_phy_init); i++) {
if (ar5416_phy_init[i].reg != reg)
continue;

if (is_2ghz) {
if (is_40mhz)
return ar5416_phy_init[i]._2ghz_40;
else
return ar5416_phy_init[i]._2ghz_20;
} else {
if (is_40mhz)
return ar5416_phy_init[i]._5ghz_40;
else
return ar5416_phy_init[i]._5ghz_20;
}
}
return 0;
}
this follows the looks of the rest of the code. (e.g ar9170_init_phy)
(of course, either version should be fine.
so stay with yours if you have doubts.)

(cannot test this now. it looks good, though.)
It's amazing how much **** you can _cut_ from the vendor driver.

BTW: does this patch help the 1-stage fw stability, or is it still broken?

Subject: [PATCH v2] ar9170: added phy register initialisation from eeprom values


This patch adds the initialisation of some PHY registers
from the modal_header[] values in the EEPROM
(see otus/hal/hpmain.c, line 333 ff.)

Signed-off-by: Joerg Albert <[email protected]>
---

Compared to v1 I've included Christian's suggestions and removed
three unnecessary defval assignments for "ant * control".

This patch seems to depend on Christian's
"[RFT] ar9170: use eeprom's frequency calibration values"
(2009-08-21), I get a poor throughput here without it (1-stage fw,
802.11g AP).

Good work!

with both patches applied, my WNDA is finally able to pick up some
speed. But, it's still a mbit slower than the two-stage fw.

uh, I think we're still missing the heavy clip/conformance?
(otus/hal/hpmain.c, line 3723 ff.).

It should be modified to say something like:
/* TODO: (heavy clip) regulatory domain power level fine-tuning. */

exactly... it's old & buggy

this version even has a bogus rc.
(Of course, you can select your own MCS rate by changing)

+ rate->idx = sta_info->current_rate;
to a static value between 0 and 15.
(which is _translated_ into: MCS 0 - 15)
