The idea here is to create a structure per set of channels so that we
can define much more than basic bitfields for these.

The structure is currently almost empty on purpose because this change
is supposed to be a mechanical update without additional information but
more details will be added in the following commits.

For each page, the core now has access to how many "chunks" of channels
are defined. Overall up to only 3 chunks have been defined so let's
hardcode this value to simplify a lot the handling. Then, for each
chunk, we define an independent bitfield of channels. As there are
several users of these bitfields, we also create the
cfg802154_get_supported_chans() helper to reconstruct the bitfield as it
was before when the only information that matters is identifying the
supported/unsupported channels.

In my opinion you want to put more information in this structure which
is not necessary and force the driver developer to add information
which is already there encoded in the page/channel bitfields. Why not
add helper functionality and get your "band" and "protocol" for a
page/channel combination?

The information I am looking forward to add is clearly not encoded in
the page/channel bitfields (these information are added in the
following patches). At least I don't see anywhere in the spec a
paragraph telling which protocol and band must be used as a function of
the page and channel information. So I improved the way channels are
declared to give more information than what we currently have.

BTW I see the wpan tools actually derive the protocol/band from the
channel/page information and I _really_ don't get it. I believe it only
works with hwsim but if it's not the case I would like to hear
more about it.

This information is as static as the channel/page information, so why
using two different channels to get it? This means two different places
where the channels must be described, which IMHO hardens the work for
device driver writers.

I however agree that the final presentation looks a bit more heavy to
the eyes, but besides the extra fat that this change brings, it is
rather easy to give the core all the information it needs in a rather
detailed and understandable way.

Thanks,

This makes no sense for me, because you are telling right now that a
page/channel combination depends on the transceiver.

No, I remember the discussion with Christoffer Holmstedt, he described
it in his commit message "8.1.2 in IEEE 802.15.4-2011".
See wpan-tools commit 0af3e40bbd6da60cc000cfdfd13b9cdd8a20d717 ("info:
add frequency to channel listing for phy capabilities").

I think it is the chapter "Channel assignments"?

device drivers writers can make mistakes here, they probably can only
set page/channel registers in their hardware and have no idea about
other things.

On the driver layer it should be as simple as possible. If you want to
have a static array for that init it in the phy register
functionality, however I think a simple lookup table should be enough
for that.
To make it more understandable I guess some people can introduce some
defines/etc to make a more sense behind setting static hex values.

That is exactly what I meant, and you made me realize that I overlooked
that information from the spec.

Oh yeah, now I get it. It's gonna be much simpler than what I thought.

In the 2020 spec this is § "10.1.3 Channel assignments".

Given the new information that I am currently processing, I believe the
array is not needed anymore, we can live with a minimal number of
additional helpers, like the one getting the PRF value for the UWB
PHYs. It's the only one I have in mind so far.

I'll propose a new approach soon.

I am not really sure if I understood now. So far those channel/page
combinations are the same because we have no special "type" value in
wpan_phy, what we currently support is the "normal" (I think they name
it legacy devices) phy type (no UWB, sun phy, whatever) and as Channel
Assignments says that it does not apply for those PHY's I think it
there are channel/page combinations which are different according to
the PHY "type". However we don't support them and I think there might
be an upcoming type field in wpan_phy which might be set only once at
registration time.

Yes, my assumption was more: I know there are only -legacy- phy types
supported, we will add another (or improve the current) way of defining
channels when we'll need to. Eg when improving UWB support.

An idea might be to create a callback that drivers might decide to
implement or not. If they implement it, the core might call it to get
further information about the channels. The core would provide a {page,
channel} couple and retrieve a structure with many information such as
the the frequency, the protocol, eventually the prf, etc.

As I said before, for "many information" we should look at how
wireless is using that with regdb and extend it with 802.15.4
channels/etc. The kernel should only deal with an unique
identification of a database key for "regdb" which so far I see is a
combination of phy type, page id and channel id. Then from "somewhere"
also the country code gets involved into that and you get a subset of
what is available.

Do you want another implementation of regdb that would support the
802.15.4 world only (so far it is highly 802.11 oriented) ? Or is this
something that you would like to merge in the existing project?

Overall it can be useful to define what is allowed in different
countries but this will not save us from needing extra information from
the devices. Describing the channels and protocols (and PRFs) for an
UWB PHY has nothing to do with the regulatory database, it's just
listing what is supported by the device. The actual location where it
might be useful to have a regdb (but not mandatory at the beginning)
would be when changing channels to avoid messing with local
regulations, I believe?

I think we should run the strategy like wpan-tools, fork it but leave
it open that probably they can be merged in future. How about that?

I don't like that it is wireless standard specific, it should be
specific to the standard which defines the regulation... As an
example, I remember that at86rf212 has some LBT (listen before
transmit) mode because of some duty cycle regulations in some
countries. The regdb should not contain if LBT should be used in a
country for specific sub 1Ghz range, etc. It should contain the duty
cycle allowance. That's an example of what I mean with "wireless
standard" and "regulation standard". However the regulation for sub
1Ghz is also a little bit crazy so far I see. :)

However I really don't know if this is extremely difficult to handle.
I would say this would be the better approach but if it doesn't work
do it wireless specific. So it's up to whoever wants to do the work?

I see, but I am not sure what additional information you need as
channel, page, phy type? And if you have those values in user space
you can get other information out of it, or not? Why does the kernel
need to handle more than necessary? Even there we can use helpers to
map those combinations to something else. Just avoid that drivers
declare those information what they already declared and introduce
helpers to whatever higher level information you want to get out of
it.

For a UWB PHY: the preamble code and the PRF, I believe.

I'll look into it soon.
