[PATCH ath-next 2/9] wifi: ath12k: use fw_features only when it is valid
From: Baochen Qiang
Date: Tue Apr 01 2025 - 22:46:59 EST
Currently fw_features is used to check if a specific feature is supported
or not: if the feature bit is set the feature is believed to be supported,
otherwise not supported. Since fw_features is populated only when using
firmware API-2, and by default it is zero, in case of API-1 such as
WCN7850 firmware it is possible that a feature is not enabled by host
while actually firmware supports it.
To avoid this, add a new flag indicating whether fw_features has been ever
populated or not, and only when that flag is true we choose to believe
fw_features. This benefits firmware MLO capability validation in an
upcoming patch.
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00284-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00209-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
