I guess you took this patch from the pending branch? :) The Patchwork-Id
line is something which my script adds for patches in the pending
branch, and removes them before applying them to ath-next, but this line
should not be visible when submitting patches.

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] ath10k: fix CCK h/w rates for QCA99X0 and newer chipsets

From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <[email protected]>

CCK hardware table mapping from QCA99X0 onwards got revised.
The CCK hardware rate values are in a proper order wrt. to
rate and preamble as below

ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_LP_1M = 1,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_LP_2M = 2,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_LP_5_5M = 3,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_LP_11M = 4,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_SP_2M = 5,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_SP_5_5M = 6,
ATH10K_HW_RATE_REV2_CCK_SP_11M = 7,

This results in reporting of rx frames (with CCK rates)
totally wrong for QCA99X0, QCA4019. Fix this by having
separate CCK rate table for these chipsets with rev2 suffix
and registering the correct rate mapping to mac80211 based on
the new hw_param (introduced) 'cck_rate_map_rev2' which shall
be true for any newchipsets from QCA99X0 onwards

I just tested it here with QCA4019 + 10.4-3.2.1-00050 for beacons. The
calculated HW code for 1.0 MBit/s would be 0x41 (rate_code) according to this
new mapping. But when I set it with

ret = ath10k_wmi_vdev_set_param(ar, arvif->vdev_id,
ar->wmi.vdev_param->mcast_data_rate,
rate_code);

then it sends beacons with 5.5Mbit/s and not with 1.0Mbit/s.

Btw. the rate_code was calculated using:

if (ath10k_mac_bitrate_is_cck(sband->bitrates[i].bitrate))
preamble = WMI_RATE_PREAMBLE_CCK;
else
preamble = WMI_RATE_PREAMBLE_OFDM;

rate_code = ATH10K_HW_RATECODE(hw_value, 0, preamble);

It works fine when using the old mapping (0x43).

This made me rather curious and I've connected a client to the AP which was
only able to send at 1.0 Mbit/s - this actually resulted in the correctly
reported rates at in the rx field.

Does this mean that the rates are now inconsistent because the QCA fw doesn't
provide a consistent interface for hw rates or did I miss anything?

Kind regards,
Sven
