ath11k: QCA6390 support on Linux
Hi,
some of the Dell XPS 15 9500 models have QCA6390 Wi-Fi 6 device. ath11k will be the driver to support QCA6390 and the plan is that Linux v5.10 (most likely released end of December) will be the first release to support it.
But as everything is not ready yet I recommend people to test ath11k-qca6390-bringup branch, and specifically tag ath11k-qca6390-bringup-202008181507. Below are instructions how to install kernel and firmware.
Do note that this is still experimental, there will be bugs but at least it should be possible to connect to an AP and have connectivity.
Please send all questions, comments and bug reports to [email protected] list. I do not have time to reply to private email. I have Bcced people who have contacted me privately.

Some updates:
* QCA6390 support is now in v5.10-rc2
* pull request to linux-firmware sent, not yet pulled
* board-2.bin should be now used instead of board.bin

Hmm, this is a new problem, never seen it before. Can you provide output from 'md5sum /lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/*'? I want to check there's no corruption in firmware files. They should be:
a101dc90f8e876f39383b60c9da64ec4 /lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/amss.bin 4c0781f659d2b7d6bef10a2e3d457728 /lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/board-2.bin d4c912a3501a3694a3f460d13de06d28 /lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/m3.bin
First you could try reverting commit 7fef431be9c9 ("mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __free_pages_core()"), as it helped with Pavel's problem. Though his symptoms were different so I'm not optimistic but it's still a good idea to test it.
If that doesn't help, the next best thing would be try to pinpoint where this got broken by testing these three commits:
fd5ad4d1e980 wcn36xx: Advertise beacon filtering support in bmps 3650b228f83a Linux 5.10-rc13cea11cd5e3b Linux 5.10-rc2
Commit fd5ad4d1e980 is based on v5.9-rc6 so try that first.
In these three commits ath11k is practically identical, the only change is a small bugfix in commit 8431350eee2e ("ath11k: Fix memory leak on error path"). For me QCA6390 works on all these commits, I don't know why it's failing for you.

I will try to use fd5ad4d1e980 a bit more to make sure it is not something intermittent, though I suspect not as the bringup-branch seemed to work consistently, while the latest seems consistently broken for me.

Please let me know if I can provide anything more.
Hmm, this is a new problem, never seen it before. Can you provide output from 'md5sum
/lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/*'? I want to check there's no corruption in firmware files. They should be:a101dc90f8e876f39383b60c9da64ec4 /lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/amss.bin 4c0781f659d2b7d6bef10a2e3d457728 /lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/board-2.bin d4c912a3501a3694a3f460d13de06d28 /lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/m3.binFirst you could try reverting commit
7fef431be9c9("mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in__free_pages_core()"), as it helped with Pavel's problem. Though his symptoms were different so I'm not optimistic but it's still a good idea to test it.If that doesn't help, the next best thing would be try to pinpoint where this got broken by testing these three commits:
fd5ad4d1e980wcn36xx: Advertise beacon filtering support in bmps3650b228f83aLinux 5.10-rc13cea11cd5e3bLinux 5.10-rc2Commit
fd5ad4d1e980is based on v5.9-rc6 so try that first.In these three commits ath11k is practically identical, the only change is a small bugfix in commit
8431350eee2e("ath11k: Fix memory leak on error path"). For me QCA6390 works on all these commits, I don't know why it's failing for you.--

Good, we can rule out firmware corruption then.

I think you have a typo here and you mean that commit fd5ad4d1e980 worked, right? The one which is based on v5.9-rc6:
fd5ad4d1e980 wcn36xx: Advertise beacon filtering support in bmps
Quoted 4 lines
I will try to use
fd5ad4d1e980a bit more to make sure it is not something intermittent, though I suspect not as the bringup-branch seemed to work consistently, while the latest seems consistently broken for me.
Yes, it's a good idea to rule out all intermittent issues. This is a weird problem and any randomness might confuse the testing results.
Even if your symptoms are different I suspect this is related to Pavel's problem, where the number one suspect is high physical addresses are causing problems:

An update here,
* 3650b228f83a 5.10-rc1 works intermittently, I would say less than 50%, but more than 25% of times.
* fd5ad4d1e980 worked consistently for at least 10 boots.
I will follow that discussion, it sounds like a good lead.
(You correctly spotted the commit typo in my previous email.)
