Some devices differ slightly and require different board files. If wrong board data is used they crash or behave incorrectly. These devices can be differentiated by looking at PCI subsystem device id. That is the case for qca61x4 devices at least. The board specific filename is constructed as: board-<bus>-<id>.bin For PCI in particular it is: board-pci-<vendor>:<dev>:<subsys_vendor>:<subsys_dev>.bin These files are looked in device/hw specific directories. Hence for Killer 1525 (qca6174 hw2.1) ath10k will request: /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board-pci-168c:003e:1a56:1525.bin To not break any existing setups (e.g. in case some devices in the wild already have subsys ids) if a board specific file isn't found a generic one is used which is the one which would be used until now. This guarantees that after upgrading a driver device will not suddenly stop working due to now-missing specific board file. If this is the case a "fallback" string is appended to the info string when driver boots. Keep in mind this is distinct from cal-pci-*.bin files which contain full calibration data and MAC address. Cal data is aimed at systems where calibration data is stored out of band, e.g. on nand flash instead of device EEPROM - an approach taken by some AP/router vendors. Board files are more of a template and needs some bits to be filled in by the OTP program using device EEPROM contents. One could argue to map subsystem ids to some board design codename strings instead of using raw ids when building the board filename. Using a mapping however would make it a lot more cumbersome and time consuming (due to how patches propagate over various kernel trees) to add support for some new device board designs. Adding a board file is a lot quicker and doesn't require recompilation. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com> |
