Cover letter [PATCH ath-next 0/2] wifi: ath11k: firmware airtime fairness, BSS color while disabled
Two ath11k patches that need the mac80211 changes in "[PATCH wireless-next 0/2] wifi: mac80211: airtime weight op, BSS color during a color change" (<[email protected]>):
1. Firmware airtime fairness (ATF) on the QCN9074 and IPQ5018, using Felix Fietkau's sta_set_airtime_weight op. Changes since v2: the command ID and TLV tags sit in their enums; a radio whose firmware refuses ATF keeps working without it; the commit message says the 122 Mbit/s cap was measured with the firmware's strict scheduling set, which the patch does not do.
2. Keep the BSS color in the vdev parameter while the color is disabled during a color change (IEEE Std 802.11-2024, 26.11.4); with mac80211 now keeping the color, the firmware gets it instead of 0.
They are based on ath-next with that series applied, and can wait for it to reach ath-next.
The patches by me were written with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code), which also drafted the changelogs; the testing described was done on the hardware.
v2 also carried beacon protection, now dropped: with the firmware signing beacons, a client that enforces beacon protection (Intel BE200, iwlmld) lost every beacon on QCN9074 and IPQ5018, with either BIGTK index and with or without a host-built MME. Until it is known what the firmware needs, BIP stays in software and the feature is not advertised.
