[V12,0/9] wifi: ath12k: add MU-MIMO and 160 MHz bandwidth support

Message

Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu April 8, 2025, 1:01 a.m. UTC

Add support for
1. enabling MU-MIMO in HE and EHT modes from hardware
2. setting fixed HE rate/GI/LTF
3. 160 MHz bandwidth in HE mode
4. extended NSS bandwidth support

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3

changes in v12:
 - rebase

changes in v11:
 patch 1/9:
  - fix return values in ath12k_mac_set_he_txbf_conf() and
    ath12k_mac_vif_recalc_sta_he_txbf()
 patch 6/9:
  - fix missing he_mcs initialization in ath12k_mac_init_arvif()

changes in v10:
 patch 6/9:
  - use ath12k_ahsta_to_sta()
  - fix rcu_dereference warning in ath12k_mac_set_bitrate_mask_iter()
  - change return type for ath12k_mac_validate_fixed_rate_settings()
  - improve readability by adhering to nl80211 definitions of GI
    NL80211_TXRATE_DEFAULT_GI. Introduce ath12k_mac_nlgi_to_wmigi()
    for conversion.
 patch 7/9:
  - do not change default MODE_11AC_VHT160 in
    ath12k_mac_get_phymode_vht() as it breaks clients which do not
    set VHT_CAP_SUPP_CHAN_WIDTH_160MHZ.
 patch 8/9:
  - Use IEEE80211_VHT_CAP_EXT_NSS_BW_MASK along with
    IEEE80211_VHT_CAP_SUPP_CHAN_WIDTH_160MHZ for determining VHT160
    phymode.

changes in v9: rebase on top of master branch with mlo changes
 patch 1/9 and 2/9:
  - fetch link_conf using ath12k_mac_get_link_bss_conf()
    instead of arvif->vif->bss_conf before mlo
 patch 6/9
  - fetch mcs/nss values from sta->link[] instead of sta->deflink
  - fix spelling of 'incompatibility'
 patch 8/9
  - replace sta->deflink.addr with arsta->addr in
    ath12k_peer_assoc_h_vht
 patch 9/9
  - replace sta->deflink.rx_nss with link_sta->rx_nss

changes in v8:
 - rebase and resolve KASAN warnings reported by Jeff in v7, in patch 6/9.
