Hi,

Here's a new pull request for ath10k and ath11k. We have new hardware IPQ5018 and various updates for existing hardware. Especially many have requested the firmware update for WCN6855 which seems to fix an important suspend problem.

Please let me know if there are any problems.

Please let me know if there are any problems.

Could you also please include all the QCA9888+IPQ4019 boardfiles updates from last year too?

Cheers,

I will try to go through them later. The problem here is that I don't have much time for ath10k nowadays.

Ok, should I just post the board-2.bin updates to linux-firmware? I have them ready to go for IPQ4019, QCA9888 and QCA9984.

But is the problem that then I don't know which one you picked up and which one you skipped? Thanks for the offer but I think it's simpler that I'll pick the board files instead like before. I put this now to top of my todo list so shouldn't take long.

For the past several years, the Qualcomm community has been shifting from the pack of .mdt+.bNN files to a single .mbn file as a main firmware file format. It reduces the back-and-forth between the kernel and userspace and also simplifies handling of these files.

In-kernel mdt loader provides backwards compatibility, detecting the file type and using .mbn instead of .mdt one, retaining the name (or using symlink).

Do you have any plans to also shift from .mdt to .mbn?

I have not heard any such plans but I'll ask around. Would you mind filing this to bugzilla as a feature request?

That way it's easier for me to track it.
