[PATCH ath-next v2 0/2] wifi: ath12k: refactor m3/aux_uc firmware memory handling
From: Madhavan Ganesan
Date: Wed Nov 04 2026 - 01:30:30 EST
ath12k_qmi_m3_free()/ath12k_qmi_m3_load() and
ath12k_qmi_aux_uc_free()/ath12k_qmi_aux_uc_load() carry near-identical
logic for freeing a DMA-coherent firmware memory region and loading
firmware into it. Factor the shared logic into common helpers.
Patch 1 is a preparatory, no-functional-change rename of
struct m3_mem_region to struct ath12k_fw_mem_region, since the type
is also used for the aux_uc region and the old name no longer
reflects its purpose.
Patch 2 refactors the shared free/load logic into
ath12k_qmi_free_mem_region() and ath12k_qmi_fw_mem_load(), and
rewires the m3 and aux_uc wrappers to use them.
