This adds new dt entry ext-fem-name, it is used by ath10k driver
to select correct timing parameters and configure it in target wifi hardware.
The Front End Module(FEM) normally includes tx power amplifier(PA) and
rx low noise amplifier(LNA). The default timing parameters like tx end to
PA off timing values were fine tuned for internal FEM used in reference
design. And these timing values can not be same if ODM modifies hardware
design with different external FEM. This DT entry helps to choose correct
timing values in driver if different external FEM hardware used.

documentation still wrong. only  microsemi-lx5586 is valid .all other 
values are invalid
see patch 4

Thanks, Missed it. Need to allow other FEM devices to use default values 
with warning message. Will change it.

Please ignore my previous email statement above.

The return failure is ignored and it allows other fems to use default 
timing settings.

Quote the PATCH 3/3:
+		ret = __ath10k_fetch_bb_timing_dt(ar, &bb_timing);
+		if (!ret) {
+			ret = ath10k_wmi_pdev_bb_timing(ar, &bb_timing);
+			if (ret) {
+				ath10k_warn(ar,
+					    "failed to set bb timings: %d\n",
+					    ret);
+				goto err_core_stop;
+			}
+		}

Please don't top post, makes the discussion difficult.

But anyway, to my knowledge the device tree is supposed to describe
hardware and not software implementation. So I don't see a problem that
device tree documents FEMs for which ath10k does not do anything right
now.
