Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] ath10k USB support (QCA9377)

Hello everyone,

apparently there have been several tries for adding ath10k USB support, see
[1] & [2]. There are probably even more.
This series is a first step for supporting my actual device,
a Silex SX-USBAC. This is a Bluetooth & WiFi combo device.

I picked commit 131da4f5a5b9 ("HACK: ath10k: add start_once support") from
[2] and extracted the ath10k_hw_params_list entry from [3].
Since v5.9, the base of [3], other required changes have already been
integrated.
For now I tested a very simple STA mode usage profile, using
wpa_supplicant on a WPA interface. AP is untested, module unloading not
supported, probably affected by the firmware start/stop patch 1 adds a
workaround.

Reading the other, older series, apparently a lot has been merged already,
but I do not know what is still missing fpr proper USB support.
I would like to have a discussion for how to add support so the device is
at least probing and can be used rudimentary.

Best regards,
Alexander

Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] HACK: ath10k: add start_once support

From: Erik Stromdahl <[email protected]>

Add possibility to configure the driver to only start target once.
This can reduce startup time of SDIO devices significantly since
loading the firmware can take a substantial amount of time.

The patch is also necessary for high latency devices in general
since it does not seem to be possible to rerun the BMI phase
(fw upload) without power-cycling the device.

[kvalo: this needs more discussion as it's pretty important to be able to
reset/stop the firmware. with SDIO we should (I hope) to control the target
device power. And on USB it should be possible to reset the device via a
register.]

This type of patch is floating around everywhere ath10k USB support is used.
I don't have any knowledge about internals, so there is not much I can add here.

I had to add a check for start_once in ath10k_halt() as well, otherwise
interface up after shutting down will timeout.
