firmware: add custom IPQ wifi board definitions On the ath10k-devel ML Michael Kazior stated: "board-2 is a key-value store of actual board files. Some devices, notably qca61x4 hw3+ and qca4019 need distinct board files to be uploaded. Otherwise they fail in various ways." [0]. Later on Rajkumar Manoharan explained: "In QCA4019 platform, only radio specific calibration (pre-cal-data) is stored in flash. Board specific contents are read from board-2.bin. For each radio appropriate board data should be loaded. To fetch correct board data from board-2.bin bundle, pre-cal/radio specific caldata should be loaded first to get proper board id. |My understanding until now was that: | | * pre-cal data + board-2.bin info == actual calibration data Correct." [1]. The standard board-2.bin from the ath10k-firmware-qca4019 barely works on the RT-AC58U. Especially 5GHz clients fail to connect at all and if they do, they have very low throughput even right next to the router. Currently, the solution for this problem is to supply a custom board-2.bin for every device. To implement this feature, this method makes use of: Rafał Miłecki's "base-files: add support for overlaying rootfs content". This comes with a few limitations: 1. Since there can only be one board-2.bin at the right location, there can only one board overwrite installed at any time. (All packages CONFLICT with each other. It's also not possible to "builtin" multiple package.) 2. updating ath10k-firmware-qca4019 will also replace the board-2.bin. For this cases the user needs to manually reinstall the wifi-board package once the ath10k-firmware-qca4019 is updated. To create the individual board-2.bin: Use the ath10k-bdencoder utility from the qca-swiss-army-knife repository: <https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife> The raw board.bin files have to be extracted from the vendor's source GPL.tar archieves.

ipq40xx: Add support for D-Link DAP-2610 Specifications ============== - SOC: IPQ4018 - RAM: DDR3 256MB - Flash: SPI NOR 16MB - WiFi: - 2.4GHz: IPQ4018, 2x2, front end SKY85303-11 - 5GHz: IPQ4018, 2x2, front end SKY85717-21 - Ethernet: 1x 10/100/1000Mbps, POE 802.3af - PHY: QCA8072 - UART: GND, blocked, 3.3V, RX, TX / 115200 8N1 - LED: 1x red / green - Button: 1x reset / factory default - U-Boot bootloader with tftp and "emergency web server" accessible using serial port. Installation ============ Flash factory image from D-Link web UI. Constraints in the D-Link web UI makes the factory image unnecessarily large. Flash again using sysupgrade from inside OpenWrt to reclaim some flash space. Return to stock D-Link firmware =============================== Partition layout is preserved, and it is possible to return to the stock firmware simply by downloading it from D-Link and writing it to the firmware partition. # mtd -r write dap2610-firmware.bin firmware Quirks ====== To be flashable from the D-Link http server, the firmware must be larger then 6MB, and the size in the firmware header must match the actual file size. Also, the boot loader verifies the checksum of the firmware before each boot, thus the jffs2 must be after the checksum covered part. This is solved in the factory image by having the rootfs at the very end of the image (without pad-rootfs). The sysupgrade image which does not have to be flashable from the D-Link web UI may be smaller, and the checksum in the firmware header only covers the kernel part of the image.

firmware/ipq-wifi: Extend for multi-chip boards This package provides board-specific reference ("cal") data on an interim basis until included in the upstream distros While originally conceived for IPQ4019-based boards, similar needs are appearing with three-radio devices. For some of these devices, both a board-2.bin file needs to be supplied both for the IPQ4019 as well as for the other radio on the board. This patch allows new or multiple overrides to be specified by: * Adding board name to ALLWIFIBOARDS * Placing file(s) in this directory named as board-<devicename>.<qca4019|qca9888|qca9984> * Adding $(eval $(call generate-ipq-wifi-package,<device>,<display name>)) (along with suitable package selection for the board) At this time, QCA4019, QCA9888, and QCA9984 are supported. Extension to other chips should be straightforward. The existing files, board-*.bin, are "grandfathered" as QCA4019. The package name has been retained for compatability reasons.

ipq-wifi: drop custom board-2.bins The BDFs for all boards were upstreamed to the ath10k-firmware repository and linux-firmware.git. We switched to the upstream board-2.bin, hence the files can be removed here. Keep the ipq-wifi package in case new boards are added.
