Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: avoid consecutive OTP download to reduce boot time

From: Vikas Patel <[email protected]>

Currently, OTP is downloaded twice in case of "pre-cal-dt"
and "pre-cal-file" to fetch the board ID and takes around
~2 sec more boot uptime.

First OTP download happens in "ath10k_core_probe_fw" and
second in ath10k_core_start. First boot does not need OTP
download in core start when valid board id acquired.

The second OTP download is required upon core stop/start.

This patch skips the OTP download when first OTP download
has acquired a valid board id. This patch also marks board
id invalid in "ath10k_core_stop", which will force the OTP
download in ath10k_core_start and fetches valid board id.

Tested HW: QCA9984
Tested FW: 10.4-3.6-00104

Are you sure I should drop this? In the first patch I think you forgot
to CC linux-wireless and that's why I didn't see it. But this second
patch was CCed to linux-wireless and I see it on patchwork. So my plan
is to put this back to my queue, please let me know if I have
misunderstood.

[Maha]: Hi Kalle, I sent the same patch twice. So I asked to ignore one
duplicate patch.
You can pick up this patch to put it in your queue and please ignore the
duplicate patch.
