From: Sebastian Gottschall <s.gottschall@dd-wrt.com>

starting with firmware 10.4.3.4.x series QCA changed the handling of the channel property band_center_freq1 and band_center_freq2 in vht160 operation mode
likelly for backward compatiblity with vht80 only capable clients.
this patch adjusts the handling to get vht160 to work again with official qca firmwares newer than 3.3
consider that this patch will not work with older firmwares anymore. to avoid undefined behaviour this we disable vht160 capability for outdated firmwares

We should be able to use a feature-flag or otherwise determine if the firmware needs the old or new
API and make the driver able to handle both.

Thanks,
Ben

the new firmware must be used as is and it works. the old firmware can 
be detected on the missing vht cap flag.
but thats not my task. i can only use feature flags if they are included 
within the qca firmwares. but they arent
the old pre 3.3 firmwares should be treated as obsolete. they are more 
than 2 years old and do not announce vht160 capability
even if it works with some ignorance, but on the other side the it has 
backward incompatiblies with older vht80 only clients.
this is why the new way was introduced

I was told ath10k could check for WMI_SERVICE_EXTENDED_NSS_SUPPORT flag.
Can someone test and verify that?

I do see that my firmware source based on older upstream QCA FW does not advertise
that flag, and newer QCA firmware does, so it would appear that test might
work.

but your sourcebase is new enough that this new handling is required.  
if i remember correct this handling is required starting with 10.4-3.4 
source base
if a 3.4 original firmware is not providing that flag, it cannot be used 
for correct handling and yours is 3.4 based

With my current driver and my current (older) firmware source, 160Mhz works fine.

I think my driver changes related to 160Mhz are upstream, so probably stock driver
works with my firmware at 160Mhz as well.

If you change the driver, then it will likely break older firmware.  So, just change
the driver behaviour if the WMI_SERVICE_EXTENDED_NSS_SUPPORT is enabled.

Ben

only pre 3.4 which isnt important. but without my change everything from 
3.4 upwards wont work anymore. so my change fixes vht160 for firmwares 
released within the last 2 years.
WMI_SERVICE_EXTENDED_NSS_SUPPORT condition cannot work since you 
explained that your driver base which is 3.4 doesnt provide this flag 
but 3.4 stock does require this change
