Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Update available channel list for 5G radio

From: Tamizh chelvam <[email protected]>

If a 5 GHz radio is calibrated for operation in both
the low band (channels 36 to 64) and
high band(channels 100 to 169), hardware allows operations
in all the listed channels. However, if the chip has been
calibrated only for the low/high band and a high/low band
channel is configured, due to lack of calibration there will
be potentially invalid signal on those non calibrated channels.
To avoid this problem this patch introduces ath10k_low_5ghz_channel
and ath10k_high_5ghz_channel lists as separate arrays.
The channel list will be initialized depending on the low_5ghz_chan
and high_5ghz_chan values which we get from target through
wmi service ready event.

hiya,

we're working on something similar to this, but based on bmi-id.

Why'd you withdraw this patch for now?

This isn't too flexible. What if one day you'll see hardware that supports
channels 100-144 only?

It should be much better idea to just disable unavailable channels, see what we
did in wiphy_freq_limits_apply (net-next).
