[PATCH v4 0/7] ARM: qcom: msm8960: enable WCNSS (Bluetooth & Wi-Fi)

From: Antony Kurniawan Soemardi via B4 Relay

Date: Sun Aug 02 2026 - 15:04:46 EST


Enable the WCNSS (Riva) subsystem on MSM8960-based devices to support
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Add the required device tree nodes and resources, including memory
regions, clocks, interconnects, and communication interfaces used by
the WCNSS firmware and drivers.

Changes:
- Add Riva (WCNSS) nodes: firmware memory, WCN3660 iris radio,
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi subdevices, and pinctrl states
- Add SMSM and SPS nodes for coordination with the WCNSS subsystem
- Add shared memory and hardware lock for inter-processor communication
- Add SCM node for secure channel manager interaction
- Add required QDSS clock resource for msm8960 RPM clock controller
- Add bindings for SPS interrupt controller and RPM clocks

This series supersedes the earlier dt-bindings-only submission [1] and
includes the corresponding driver and DT integration changes.

This series also fixes the dtbs_check warnings in msm8960.dtsi
introduced by:
[2] "dt-bindings: usb: ci-hdrc-usb2: allow up to 3 clocks for
qcom,ci-hdrc"

Tested on:
- Sony Xperia SP
- Samsung Galaxy Express (SGH-I437) - requires additional work for
firmware loading (separate series pending)

Known limitations (not addressed in this series):
The wcn36xx driver appears to misclassify 2.4 GHz networks as 5 GHz
during hardware scanning, preventing association with 2.4 GHz networks.
This issue has also been observed on MSM8916 and MSM8953 platforms
using WCN3620 [3][4].

Changes in v4:
- Dropped the qcom,rpmcc-msm8960 patches, as msm8960.dtsi now uses
qcom,rpmcc-apq8064 instead.
- Dropped the qcom_rpm MFD patch, as it has been merged upstream.
(Commit 6b6e7e965a11f761a3b614f5ff3fa8d1d9c86b1e mfd: qcom_rpm: Add msm8960 QDSS clock resource)
- Swapped the iface and core USB clocks in the msm8960.dtsi
- Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260601-msm8960-wifi-v3-0-fec6ac8dba02@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v3:
- Dropped unnecessary pxo and cxo clock validations for
qcom,rpmcc-msm8960
- Dropped unnecessary example for rpmcc bindings
- Reorder USB clock entries to match the updated ci-hdrc binding, using
iface, core, fs order.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260514-msm8960-wifi-v2-0-7cbae45dab5e@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Updated cover letter about the previous dt-bindings only submission
and the dependency on the USB controller clock fix series
- Drop the apq8064 reference from the commit message for adding msm8960
QDSS clock resource
- Add fallback compatible "qcom,rpmcc-apq8064" in the rpmcc node
- Updated qcom,rpmcc dt-bindings to allow for fallback compatible
- Put clocks, clock-names, reg, reg-names, interrupt-names, &
smem-states entries one per line in the rpmcc, riva, and wifi nodes
- Move riva pinctrl assignments to SoC DTSI
- Renamed hwmutex to hwlock for consistency with the dt-bindings
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260414-msm8960-wifi-v1-0-007fda9d6134@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Note: an incomplete v1 also exists at https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260414-msm8960-wifi-v1-0-01c081e54610@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
