Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especially the WMI layer) it was concluded to be simpler to have a "clean start" for ath11k code base and not try to share the code with ath10k. This makes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, which would have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existing setups. Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are major differences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11k supports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. And there's only one WMI interface to support. Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for 802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k is accepted to upstream. The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository but they will be also submitted to linux-firmware: https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabetical order below.

This version is based on commit b05c1a55a3a566893e15cfc2dc2cc20d476af0d6 from ath11k-bringup branch on my ath.git tree: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath.git/log/?h=ath11k-bringup This patch applies to wireless-drivers-next but needs CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST, CONFIG_REMOTEPROC AND CONFIG_QCOM_QMI_HELPERS to be able to compile on x86. Please review and comment. Kalle
