84f4a783c6 ath10k-firmware: update ath10k-ct firmware images
Release notes for 017:

Wave-1:

 *  March 19, 2020:  Fix problem where power-save was not enabled when going off-channel to scan.
                     The problem was a boolean logic inversion in the chmgr code, a regression I introduced
                     a long time ago.

 *  March 19, 2020:  When scanning only on current working channel, do not bother with disable/enable
                     powersave.  This should make an on-channel scan less obtrusive than it was previously.

 *  March 23, 2020:  Fix channel-mgr use-after-free problem that caused crashes in some cases.  The crash
                     was exacerbated by recent power-save changes.

 *  March 23, 2020:  Fix station-mode power-save related crash:  backported the fix from 10.2 QCA firmware.

 *  March 23, 2020:  Attempt to better clean up power-save objects and state, especially in station mode.

Release notes for 016:

Wave-1 changes, some debugging code for a crash someone reported, plus:

*  February 28, 2020:  Fix custom-tx path when sending in 0x0 for rate-code.  Have tries == 0 mean
                        one try but NO-ACK (similar to how wave-2 does it).

wave-2:

 * Fixed some long-ago regressions related to powersave and/or multicast.  Maybe fix some
   additional multicast and/or tx-scheduling bugs.

1862263883 ath10k-firmware: update ath10k-ct firmware
This supports better per-chain noise floor reporting, which in turn allows for
better RSSI reporting in the driver.

Wave-2 fixes a long-standing rate-ctrl problem when connected to xbox (and probably other devices).

Wave-2 has fix for crash likely related to rekeying.

Wave-1 has some debugging code added where a user reported a crash.

The release notes since last time for wave-1:

 * No changes to wave-1, but I make a version .014 copy anyway to keep
   the makefile in sync.

The release notes since last time for wave-2:

 * December 16, 2019: Wave-2 has a fix to make setting txpower work
                      better. Before setting the power was ignored at
                      least some of the time (it also appeared to work
                      mostly, so I guess it was being correctly set in
                      other ways).

f96af28272 ath10k-firmware: update Candela Tech firmware images
The release notes since last time for wave-1:

  *  October 5,  2019:  Fix too-short msg caused by invalid use of PayloadLen in receive path.
                        This appears to resolve the issue of getting (and ignoring) too-short commands
                        when we detect loss of CE interrupts and go into polling mode.

  *  October 12, 2019:  Fix regression in IBSS mode that caused SWBA overrun issues.  Related to
                        regression added during the ct-station logic, specifically TSF allocation.
                        Thanks for Ahmed Zaki @ Mage-Networks for helping to diagnose and test.

  *  October 15, 2019:  Only send beacon tx completion events if we can detect CT driver is being
                        used (based on CT_STATS_OK flag being set).  This should help CT firmware work
                        better on stock driver.

The release notes since last time for wave-2:

  *  October 15, 2019:  Only send beacon tx completion events if we can detect CT driver is being

                        This should help CT firmware work better on stock driver.

  *  October 31, 2019:  Compile out peer-ratecode-list-event.  ath10k driver ignores the event.

  *  November 1, 2019:  Fix rate-ctrl related crash when nss and other things were changed while

This commit changes the source of the Wave 1 ath10k-firmware
from linux-firmware to Kall Valos ath10k-firmware repository.

This is necessary as the firmware selected in linux-firmware produces

bd926fdde5 ath10k-firmware: update Candela Tech firmware images
This should fix a problem with 1560 MTU, 160Mhz on DFS channels,
some other small issues on < 5.2 kernels, and for 5.2 driver,
it pulls in some upstream stable fixes.

wave-1 firmware changes since last update:

  *  June 24, 2019: Try allocating low-priority WMI msgs if high-prio are not available.

  *  June 24, 2019: Init rate-ctrl to start at lowest rate instead of in the middle.  Hoping
                    this helps DHCP when station connects from a long distance.

wave-2:

  *  June 24, 2019  Start rate-ctrl at minimal values to help DHCP work better for far-away peers.

  *  July 24, 2019  Fix old regression that made /a (and probably /b/g) perform poorly, at least on
                    diet-compiled images.

  *  Aug 8, 2019  Improve a/b/g rate-ctrl by damping the PER swings caused by the all-or-nothing logic
                  of transmitting non-block-ack frames one at a time.

ff2382e36c ath10k-firmware: update Candela Tech firmware images
wave-1:

2019-05-09: Tweak rate-ctrl:  Ramp PER up faster, down slower.  This
	    helps throughput in rate-vs-range test, especially with
	    nss1.

2019-05-20: Disable adaptive-CCA.  I am not sure it helps, and it may
	    make it slower to detect noise that should tell the system
	    to stop transmitting.  If someone has means to test this
	    properly, I'd be happy to work with them.

wave-2:

2019-05-15: Fix problem where rate-ctrl sometimes used rix of 0x0.

2019-05-15: Allow raw-tx of encrypted frame.  Requires a patch to the
	    driver to use raw mode when skb has WEP flag enabled AND
	    skb is flagged to not be encrypted.  Lightly tested.

2019-05-16: Fix tx-hang that happened when rate-ctrl chose an OFDM rate
	    for 20Mhz and sent that as AMPDU.  To fix, limit to (V)HT
	    rates if peer is (V)HT.  It seems that MCS0 (V)HT20 should
	    have as good of a chance of being detected as CCK or OFDM.

2019-06-06: Disable TX-BFEE, TX-BFER for IBSS connections.  I suspect
	    this is part of the tx-hang issue seen with IBSS between
	    two 9984 radios.

2019-06-12: Fix rx-rate reporting in 'fw_stats' logic.  This was at
	    least partly due to regressions I had added earlier when
	    working on some multi-vdev enhancements.

2019-6-12: Fix case where extd peer-stats were not always populated.
	   The stats gathering code did not handle error conditions
	   well.

61f4ceb146 ath10k-firmware: update Candela Tech firmware images
Release notes since last time:

Release notes for wave-1:

2019-04-02: Support some get/set API for eeprom rate power tables.
	    Mostly backported from 10.2

2019-04-02: Support adaptive-CCA, backported from 10.2

2019-04-02: Support adding eeprom configAddr pairs via the
            set-special API. These configAddrs can be used to change
            the default register settings for up to 12 registers.

2019-05-03: Fix tx-power settings for 2x2, 3x3 rates.
	    Original logic I put in back in 2016 set 2x2 and 3x3 lower
	    than the needed to be when using most NICs (very high
	    powered NICs would not have been affected I think, not sure
	    any of those exist though.)

	    This improves throughput for 2x2 and 3x3 devices,
	    especially when the signal is weaker.

Release notes for wave-2:

2019-04-08: When setting keys, if high bit of high value of
	    key_rsc_counter is set to 0x1, then the lower 48 bits will
	    be used as the PN value.  By default, PN is set to 1 each
	    time the key is set.

2019-04-08: Pack PN into un-used 'excretries' aka
	    'num_pkt_loss_excess_retry' high 16 bits.
	    This lets us report peer PN, but *only* if driver has
	    previously set a PN when setting key (or set-special cmd is
	    used to enable PN reporting).

	    This is done so that we know the driver is recent
            enough to deal with the PN stat reporting.

2019-04-16: Support specifying tx rate on a per-beacon packet.
	    See ath10k_wmi_op_gen_beacon_dma and
	    ath10k_convert_hw_rate_to_rate_info for API details.

	     Driver needs additional work to actually enable this
	     feature currently.

2019-04-30: Compile out tx-prefetch caching logic.
	    It is full of tricky bugs that cause tx hangs.
	    I fixed at least one, but more remain and I have wasted too
	    much time on this already.

2019-05-08: Start rate-ctrl at mcs-3 instead of mcs-5.
	    This significantly helps DHCP happen quickly, probably
	    because the initial rate being too high would take a while
	    to ramp down, especially since there are few packets sent
	    by the time DHCP needs to start.

	    This bug was triggered by me decreasing retries of 0x1e
	    (upstream default) to 0x4.  But, I think it is better to
	    start with lower initial MCS instead of always having a
	    very high retry count.

Tested on 8devices Jalapeno dev board(IPQ4019)

fc2fd1c9d6 ath10k-firmware: update Candela Tech firmware images
Release notes since last update:

wave-1 firmware:

*  Feb 14, 2019:  Remove logic that causes assert when swba logic is not
                  initialized. This was seen when trying to bring up 6 VAP
                  vdevs. A similar fix went into wave-2 firmware some time
                  ago.

*  Feb 27, 2019:  Support up to 32 vAP vdevs, fix stack corruption when
                  driver requests too many vAP.

*  Feb 28, 2019:  Support beacon-tx-wmi callback message. This lets driver
                  properly clean up beacon buffers so we don't crash
                  (somethings the entire OS/system) due to DMA errors.

wave-2 firmware:

*  Feb 27. 2019:  Support up to 32 AP vdevs. Previous to this, stack would
                  be corrupted if you went past 16 AP vdevs.

*  Feb 28, 2019:  Support beacon-tx-wmi callback message. This lets driver
                  properly clean up beacon buffers. In wave-1, this could
                  crash the entire OS, but I didn't see the same crashes
                  in wave-2, so maybe it is fixed in some other way. Add
                  the feature regardless as it seems proper.

pfsched has specific work-around to just return if we find invalid flags AND
if we are in an out-of-order situation.  Maybe this is last of the pfsched
related issues (bug 54 and similar).

*  Jan 24, 2019
The rcSibUpdate method can be called concurrently with IRQ tx-completion callback,
and that could potentially allow the tx-completion callback to see invalid state
and assert or otherwise mess up the rate-ctrl logic.  So, disable IRQs in
rcSibUpdate to prevent this.  Related to bug 58.

*  Jan 28, 2019
Ensure that cached config is applied to ratectrl objects when fetched from
the cache.  This should fix part of bug 58.

*  Jan 28, 2019
Ensure that ratectrl objects from cachemgr are always initialized.  This fixes
another part of bug 58.

*  Jan 30, 2019
Better use of temporary rate-ctrl object.  Make sure it is initialized, simplify
code path.  This finishes up porting forward similar changes I made for wave-1
firmware long ago, and fixes another potential way to hit bug-58 issues.

*  Jan 30, 2019
Cachemgr did not have a callback for when memory was logically freed.  This means
that peers could keep stale references to rate-ctrl objects that were in process
of being DMA'd into to load a different peer's rate-ctrl state.  This was causing
the bugcheck logic to fail early and often, and I suspect it might be a root cause
of bug 58 as well.  The fix is to add a callback and set any 'deleted' memory references
to NULL so that we cannot access it accidentally.  Thanks to excellent logs and patience
from the bug-58 reporter!

kern.warn kernel: [87771.917049] ath10k_ahb a000000.wifi: Invalid VHT mcs 15 peer stats
and there are disconnections when the connected clients are many, at the moment I tried with 16 clients on 2.4 GHz and 8 on 5 GHZ.

Firmware 10.4-3.5.3-00057 fixes these warnings and the problem of disconnections of some clients.

27eab4fa57 ath10k-firmware: Fix QCA6174 support
Currently when installing the firmware, a bunch of files and directories
that the ath10k driver does not look for are created.

The package now installs firmware for both hw 2.1 and 3.0 devices.
2.1 is abandonware but may be useful to keep.

3.0 firmware was tested on a Killer 1535 to be relatively stable with
802.11w disabled. 802.11w causes multiple firmware crashes but that's true
of other ath10k firmwares as well.

b2bbef7eb4 ath10k-ct: Update firmware
This firmware has only small changes from the last commit, but
it does have an important fix for at least some PTK rekey logic.

The old firmware would have issues if the driver managed to set
a clear key while encryption was 'enabled'.  This new firmware for
both wave-1 and wave-2 should not be susceptible to this type of
bug any more.

And remove mesh-bcast IE flag from wave-2, still need more work before
we can enable that flag in ath10k-ct firmware it seems.

d6939baac2 ath10k-ct: Update firmware to latest.
Wave-1 firmware has a fix for 'addba' not finding the peer.  Thanks to Hauke
for finding and reporting this.

Wave-2 firmware has a fix for leaking a peer multicast key when a monitor device
is created.

And I re-ordered the '4019' firmware images in the Makefile to match the order
of the others.  No functional change for that reorder.

d15b09aab8 ath10k-ct: Add htt-mgt variants of ath10k-ct firmware.
The HTT-MGT variants transport management frames over the
normal HTT tx path, just like data frames.  This saves
limitted WMI buffers which can become depleted if lots of
management frames become stuck in TX queues due to peer
that went away.

In addition, at least for the wave-1 firmware, htt-mgt is
required in order for 802.11r (fast roaming) authentication
to function properly.

The htt-mgt firmware requires the use of the ath10k-ct
driver.  Normal non-htt-mgt ath10k-ct firmware should work
with stock drivers.

545a561785 ath10k-ct: Update wave-1 and wave-2 firmware to latest.
This updates to latest ath10k-ct firmware.  Hopefully we are
at the end of the development cycle for this firmware release,
so these should be stable.

wave-1 changes since last release:

Release 20

  *  Allow flushing peer when deleting.  Hopefully this will allow the
     peer delete command to happen in a reasonable amount of time even
     if the RF environment is busy (or peer has died).
     To enable this, set the high flag in the mac-addr second word in the
     ath10k driver near end of the ath10k_wmi_op_gen_peer_delete method:

     cmd->peer_macaddr.word1 |= __cpu_to_le32(0x80000000);

  *  Attempt to fix crash seen in resmgr-ocs, appearantly due to list corruption.
     Use a temporary list instead of trying to rely on for-each-safe.

  *  Add flag to tx-descriptor to allow driver to request no-ack on data
     frames.  This is bit 15 on the flag1 field (previously un-used).

  *  Add option to support specifying the tx-rate-code and retry count on
     a per-packet basis.  Only a single series is supported at this time.
     Useful mainly for radiotap monitor-tx type testing at this point.

  *  Fix crash on startup when chip is at -40 deg C and calibration fails.  Instead
     of asserting, just keep retrying calibration, which appears to start working
     after a few minutes (when the chip warms up).

  *  Allow reporting per-chain rssi for management frames.  We pack the values into
     empty space in the mgt-frame wmi header.  This will only be enabled if the driver
     requests it, since otherwise the driver is assumed to not understand the new API.
     ath10k-ct drivers that support this feature will automatically enable it.

  *  A customer reports a case that appears to be the hardware not properly detecting
     end of AMPDU, so frames were being mis-delivered to the wrong peer.  Attempt to
     work around this, and in doing so, clean up a bunch of void* abuse in the block-ack
     reordering code (could not ever confirm there was a problem in this area).

  *  Re-work the rx-mem logic to be less complicated and to use less memory.

  *  Attempt to fix crash that appearanty happens because the driver can sometimes
     delete a vdev in 'up' state.

  *  Attempt to fix hung scan state machine issues.

  *  Fix crash in tx path due to un-initialized memory.

wave-2 changes since last release:

Release 10

  *  Fix an assert related to tx scheduling.  This hopefully fixes
     what appears to be a regression that I added some time back.

  *  Enable CSI reporting for 9984, and maybe 9888/9886.  Only in
     non-trimmed builds.

  *  Other stability improvements, including regression fixes from
     some tricky bugs introduced in earlier releases.

  *  Allow compiling for IPQ4019 chipset.

  *  Firmware will now send txbf frames to the host (driver) if the
     TXBF (0xF00000001) set-special feature is enabled, or when the radio
     is in monitor mode.  But, if the frame is consumed by the txbf_cv
     logic, then the pkt cannot be delivered to the host in this manner.  Instead,
     a WMI event will be sent and host can find the txbf_cv data in shared
     memory.  See ath10k_wmi_event_txbf_cv_mesg() in ath10k-ct driver.

  *  Support rx-all-mgt option.  When enabled, the firmware will deliver all
     management frames that it can to the host.  No RX filters are changed
     when this option is enabled.

  *  Fix at least some problems with sending tx-beamforming frames to SU-MIMO
     peers.  Looks like this was a regression in my code.

  *  Fix a crash in rate-ctrl due to nss mismatch.  This was something I introduced
     while trying to fix other bugs in rate-ctrl some time back.

  *  Attempt to fix a sw-peer-key object leak in IBSS mode.  The peer key code
     is very complex, and shares some pointers as union members.  I think I fixed
     at least some of the issues, but would not be surprised if more exist.

  *  Improve ath10k user guide to document CT firmware features:
     https://www.candelatech.com/ath10k-ug.php

  *  Add ct-special option to configure the txbf sounding time.  See ath10k-ug.php

  *  Fix and allow the driver to tell the firmware to send sounding frames.  See ath10k-ug.php
     In further testing, this seems to fail much of the time, and I am not sure why.
     Disabling this in diet (trimmed) builds.

  *  Fix crashes related to deleting peers while they are in power-save mode.  Reported
     by LEDE user on r7800 with 9984 NIC.
  *  Make rate-ctrl txbf probe work better.  If enabled, the rate-ctrl logic will periodically
     send out probes at an NSS that can to txbf.  Previously, txbf probes would not reliably happen
     if both AP and peer had the same nss (ie, 2x2 talking to 2x2).  To enable this feature, you
     need to enable the fwtest-cmdid number 20.

  *  Report rx-timeout error counters.  These were previously un-reported, though the
     field existed in the wmi struct already.

  *  txbf:  Ignore frames not destined for us.  If NIC is in promisc mode, it
     could acquire and process NDPA frames that were not destined for it.  Check
     the dest-MAC and ignore frames not for us (pass them up the stack for monitor
     mode instead of save them in the peer's rate-ctrl logic.)

  *  Port ping-pong crash handling and othe related features to IPQ4019 target.  It should
     now act similar to 9984 in this regard.

  *  Fix a few asserts related to txbf and tx-seq logic.

  *  Add custom-stats support, for rx-reorder-stats.  Similar to what I did for wave-1.

  *  Disable AMSDU for IBSS.  This now matches what I did for peregrine.  It seems to
     work better this way, though I did not debug it in detail.

  *  Enable the set-special command to re-enable AMSDU for IBSS if user wants to experiment.

  *  Fix bug where dbglog did not disable IRQs, so if you made dbglog messages from the IRQ
     handler, it could cause corruption that could crash the firmware and/or corrupt the log
     message buffers.

  *  Don't assert if there are no buffer descriptors for RX of non-data frame.

  *  Retry any stuck block-ack sessions every 20 seconds instead of just disabling BA for
     ever when we get too many failures.

  *  Fix SGI flag when reporting tx-rate info.  The flag moved since wave-1 days, and
     I did not notice that when I ported my changes forward to wave-2.

  *  Allow disabling special CCA handling for IBSS txqs.  Earlier testing indicated this
     might improve throughput in some testing on 9984 chips in IBSS mode, but subsequent
     testing looks about the same without it.  Since I do not really understand what this
     setting exists for, leave it at upstream defaults.  A new set-special API command (0x12)
     can be used to enable this hack for testing.  Setting 0x1 bit disables special CCA handling
     for non-beacon IBSS txqs, setting 0x2 bit disables it for beacon queues as well.

  *  Add MCAST-BCAST feature flag.  This tells driver we do not need a monitor interface
     to do MESH.

  *  When calculating the rx-address filter (affects ACK & BLOCK-ACK, among other things),
     to not add in monitor interfaces if other interfaces are up.  There is no need for
     a monitor device to ACK frames.

21486911ac firmware: ath10k-firmware: update QCA9984 firmware to 10.4-3.5.3-00053
This patch updates ath10k-firmware to use the
firmware-5.bin_10.4-3.5.3-00053 firmware for the QCA9984.

The update fixes "ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: Invalid VHT mcs 15 peer
stats" spamming the kernel ring buffer at very high frequencies, but
introduces the new "ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: Unknown eventid: 36925".
This new warning doesn't appear to cause problems in practice and is
only emitted relatively rarely, not causing dmesg to overflow within
minutes.

Tested on the ZyXEL NBG6817; early feedback also suggests this firmware
to work well (with the same fixes and caveats) on the Netgear r7800 as
well.
