The "tx_burst" option which should control the value was
expecting more of a list and hence tx_queue_data2_burst
value wasn't updated.
Yes, it would make sense to have a list for this, the
existing code only updates tx_queue_data2_burst and
not the other tx_queue_data[0134]_burst values.

Serge Vasilugin reports:
To improve mt7620 built-in wifi performance some changes:
1. Correct BW20/BW40 switching (see comments with mark (1))
2. Correct TX_SW_CFG1 MAC reg from v3 of vendor driver see
https://gitlab.com/dm38/padavan-ng/-/blob/master/trunk/proprietary/rt_wifi/rtpci/3.0.X.X/mt76x2/chips/rt6352.c#L531
3. Set bbp66 for all chains.
4. US_CYC_CNT init based on Programming guide, default value was 33 (pci),
set chipset bus clock with fallback to cpu clock/3.
5. Don't overwrite default values for mt7620.
6. Correct some typos.
7. Add support for external LNA:
a) RF and BBP regs never be corrected for this mode
b) eLNA is driven the same way as ePA with mt7620's pin PA
but vendor driver explicitly pin PA to gpio mode (for forrect calibration?)
so I'm not sure that request for pa_pin in dts-file will be enough
First 5 changes (really 2) improve performance for boards w/o eLNA/ePA.
Changes 7 add support for eLNA
Configuration w/o eLAN/ePA and with eLNA show results
tx/rx (from router point of view) for each stream:
35-40/30-35 Mbps for HT20
65-70/60-65 Mbps for HT40
Yes. Max results for 2T2R client is 140-145/135-140
with peaks 160/150, It correspond to mediatek driver results.
Boards with ePA untested.

generated from the original OpenWrt commits adding each patch.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
It is common for 802.11ax NICs to support more than just AP mode, which
results in there being a distinct set of HE capabilities for each mode. As
(bad) luck would have it, iw prints out info for each HE mode in sequential
order according to `enum nl80211_iftype`, and AP mode isn't always first.
As a result, the wrong set of HE capabilities can be parsed if an AP NIC
supports station (managed) mode or any other mode preceding AP mode, since
only the first set of HE capabilities printed by iw is parsed from awk's
output.
This has a noticeable impact on beamforming for example, since managed mode
usually doesn't have beamformer capabilities enabled, while AP mode does.
Hostapd won't be set up with the configs to enable beamformer capabilities
in this scenario, causing hostapd to disable beamforming to HE stations
even when it's supported by the AP.
Always parse the correct set of HE capabilities for AP mode to fix this.
This is achieved by trimming all of iw's output prior to the AP mode
capabilities, which ensures that the first set of HE capabilities are
always for AP mode.

Backports upstream fix from 5.19
lockdep complains use of uninitialized spinlock at ieee80211_do_stop() [1],
for commit f856373e2f31ffd3 ("wifi: mac80211: do not wake queues on a vif
that is being stopped") guards clear_bit() using fq.lock even before
fq_init() from ieee80211_txq_setup_flows() initializes this spinlock.
According to discussion [2], Toke was not happy with expanding usage of
fq.lock. Since __ieee80211_wake_txqs() is called under RCU read lock, we
can instead use synchronize_rcu() for flushing ieee80211_wake_txqs().

Introduce a new option background_radar to toggle hostapd's background
radar feature. Enabling this allows DFS CAC to run on dedicated radio RF
chains while the radio(s) are otherwise running normal AP activities on
other channels.
As OpenWrt configures hostapd to use a channel list even when a single
channel is configured, using this feature requires a list of channels in
/etc/config/wireless. Alternatively, channel can be set to auto.

Enable ath10k offload by default. This improves wireless performance
without requiring user configuration.
This adds ath10k_core to the AUTOLOAD section so that the frame_mode
paramter can be added to /etc/modules.d and passed to the driver.
The frame_mode 2 enables ethernet mode on the firmware/driver.
This parameter is set by passing a different value to the frame_mode
value on kmod insmod.

Some ath10k IPQ40xx devices like the MikroTik hAP ac2 and ac3 require the
BDF-s to be extracted from the device storage instead of shipping packaged
API 2 BDF-s.
This is required as MikroTik has started shipping boards that require BDF-s
to be updated, as otherwise their WLAN performance really suffers.
This is however impossible as the devices that require this are release under
the same revision and its not possible to differentiate them from devices
using the older BDF-s.
In OpenWrt we are extracting the calibration data during runtime and we are
able to extract the BDF-s in the same manner, however we cannot package the
BDF-s to API 2 format on the fly and can only use API 1 to provide BDF-s on
the fly.
This is an issue as the ath10k driver explicitly looks only for the board.bin
file and not for something like board-bus-device.bin like it does for pre-cal
data.
Due to this we have no way of providing correct BDF-s on the fly, so lets
extend the ath10k driver to first look for BDF-s in the board-bus-device.bin
format, for example: board-ahb-a800000.wifi.bin
If that fails, look for the default board file name as defined previously.
So, backport the upstream ath10k patch.

ath9k is setting the TX PA DC bias level different on QCA9561 and QCA9565
although they have the same radio IP-core, which results in a very low
output power and very low throughput as devices are further away from
the AP (compared to other 2.4GHz APs.)
In real life testing, without this patch the 2.4GHz throughput on Yuncore
XD3200 is around 10Mbps sitting close to the AP, and close to theoretical
maximum with the patch applied.
