[PATCH ath-next 06/15] wifi: ath12k: add initial Wi-Fi 8 hw params and init helper for QCN9575

From: Madhavan Ganesan

Date: Thu Nov 12 2026 - 04:41:29 EST


QCN9575 is a Wi-Fi 8 target that requires its own hardware-params entry
to be matched at probe time. Add ATH12K_HW_QCN9575_HW20 to ath12k_hw_rev
and populate the initial parameter set in wifi8/hw.c. Introduce
ath12k_wifi8_hw_init() to walk the Wi-Fi 8 hw_params table and select the
matching entry at runtime. Hardware-specific operation pointers (hw_ops,
wmi_init, mhi_config) and CE config tables are left as NULL placeholders
until the corresponding subsystem support is added. Explicitly initialize
every top-level member of the hw_params entry, including zero/NULL/false
defaults, rather than relying on implicit designated-initializer
zero-fill, so the full set of fields is visible and easy to audit as
later patches replace individual placeholders with real values. Add
wifi8/hw.h and wire wifi8/hw.c into the wifi8/Makefile.

Define QCN9575_QFPROM_RAW_RFA_PDET_ROW13_LSB with the correct OTP
register address 0x1F90070 and set it as the otp_board_id_register in the
QCN9575 hw_params.

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.6-01243-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c7-00108-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ_UPSTREAM-3
