So if you change the WiFi firmware, you may force a DT change too. Those are pretty independent things otherwise. Why can't you just always ignore this error? If you can't deal with this entirely in the driver, then it should be part of the WiFi firmware so it's always in sync. Rob

This is a valid concern and I'm not sure about the other devices, but on PocoF1 I have tried all the three released firmware version updates: WLAN.HL.2.0.c3-00257-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1 WLAN.HL.2.0.c3-00445-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1 WLAN.HL.2.0.c3-00534-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1 and none of them works without this skip host-cap patch or equivalent hack. PocoF1 is already 2+ years old device and sadly I do not expect any major vendor update coming its way. > > Why can't you just always ignore this error?

I don't know the technical details of the ath10k/qmi driver, but I'm OK if we just ignore the return value of ath10k_qmi_host_cap_send_sync() and move along. Regards, Amit Pundir > > Rob

There are firmware versions which do not support host capability QMI request. We suspect either the host cap is not implemented or there may be firmware specific issues, but apparently there seem to be a generation of firmware that has this particular behavior. For example, firmware build on Xiaomi Poco F1 (sdm845) phone: "QC_IMAGE_VERSION_STRING=WLAN.HL.2.0.c3-00257-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1" If we do not skip the host cap QMI request on Poco F1, then we get a QMI_ERR_MALFORMED_MSG_V01 error message in the ath10k_qmi_host_cap_send_sync(). But this error message is not fatal to the firmware nor to the ath10k driver and we can still bring up the WiFi services successfully if we just ignore it. Hence introducing this DeviceTree quirk to skip host capability QMI request for the firmware versions which do not support this feature.
