The mac80211 driver backport has been updated to version 6.11. Let's
also push ath10k-ct driver forward. The unsupported feature
'NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_ETHTOOL_VDEV_STATS' has been dropped since it
looks like something for debugging and not supported by the mainline.

- The three WiFis were fully tested and are configured with the same settings as in the vendor firmware.
- The specific board files were submitted to the ATH10k mailing list but I'm still waiting for a reply. They can be removed once they are approved upstream.
- Two ethernet ports are accessible on the device. By default one is configured as WAN and the other one is LAN. They are fully working.
Bluetooth:
========
- Fully working with the following caveats:
- RFKILL need to be enabled in the kernel.
- An older version of bluez is needed as bccmd is needed to configure the chip.
Zigbee:
======
- The spidev device is available in the /dev directory.
- GPIOs are configured the same way as in the vendor firmware.
- Tests are on-going. I am working on getting access to the Silicon Labs stack to validate that it is fully working.
Installation:
=========
The squash-factory image can be installed via the Linksys Web UI:
1. Open "http://192.168.1.1/ca" (Change the IP with the IP of your device).
2. Login with your admin password.
3. To enter into the support mode, click on the "CA" link and the bottom of the page.
4. Open the "Connectivity" menu and upload the squash-factory image with the "Choose file" button.
5. Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click "yes" in all the popups.
The device uses a dual partition mechanism. The device automatically revert to the previous partition after 3 failed boot attempts.
If you want to force the previous firmware to load, you can turn off and then turn on the device for 2 seconds, 3 times in a row.
It can also be done via TFTP:
1. Setup a local TFTP server and configure its IP to 192.168.1.100.
2. Rename your image to "nodes_v2.img" and put it to the TFTP root of your server.
3. Connect to the device through the serial console.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash the partition of your choice by typing "run flashimg" or "run flashimg2".
6. Once flashed, enter "reset" to reboot the device.

If spectral scan support is enabled then ath10k-ct will cause a NULL

callback struct, otherwise use the regular struct.

Changes:
ath10k-ct: Support better RSSI measurements.
When used with recent firmware, these changes allow the driver to
query per-chain noise-floor from the radio to better calculate the
per-chain RSSI. The per-chain RSSI is then summed to provide the
'combined RSSI'. This gives better per-chain RSSI as well as combined
RSSI, especially when running with more than 20Mhz bandwidths.
Refresh patches.

According to many bugreports [0][1][2] the default ath10k-ct kernel
module is unusable on devices with just 64 MiB RAM or with 128 MiB and
dual ath10k cards. The target boards boot but eventually oom-killer
starts to interfere with normal operation, so the current state is
effectively broken.
Since the two patches in question have a performance impact (and
possibly some other unexpected side-effects) a dedicated build variant
is added so that users of the low RAM devices can still benefit from all
the ath10k-ct advantages.
According to testing [3] results, the issue can be experienced even with
"a 256MB device with three radios". Measured performance impact of
implementing small buffers was lowering "the maximum 5 GHz throughput on
an IPQ40xx device without RPS/XPS optimizations from 494/432 Mbit/s for
TCP transfers (download/upload) to 438/343 Mbit/s"
The patches were apparently inspired by QSDK tweaks used by ODMs for the
affected devices.
