|[...]
|This patch fixes the issue by first searching the entire file for the ID
|with variant, and searching for the fallback ID only if that search
|fails. It also includes some code cleanup in the area, as
|ath10k_core_fetch_board_data_api_n() no longer does its own string
|mangling to remove the variant from an ID, instead leaving that job to a
|new flag passed to ath10k_core_create_board_name().
|
|I've tested this patch on a QCA4019 and verified that the driver behaves
|correctly for 1) both fallback and variant BDFs present, 2) only fallback
|BDF present, and 3) no matching BDFs present.

Note: 937-ath10k-calibration-variant.patch has been reassigned a new 081
number, as it now ships with upstream.... But also because this patch
requires the change in ath10k_core_create_board_name().

+Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
+board data file is identified on QCA4019 using bus, bmi-chip-id and
+bmi-board-id.
+
+The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
+fulfill the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
+board data file.
+
+This problem was solved for SMBIOS by adding a special SMBIOS type 0xF8.
+Something similar has to be provided for systems without SMBIOS but with
+device trees. No solution was specified by QCA and therefore a new one has
+to be found for ath10k.
+
+The device tree requires addition strings to define the variant name
+
+    wifi@a000000 {
+       status = "okay";
+       qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";

+
+    wifi@a800000 {
+       status = "okay";
+       qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
+    };
+
+This would create the boarddata identifiers for the board-2.bin search

+Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: search all IEs for variant before falling back
+Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 11:43:39 -0500
+
+commit f2593cb1b291 ("ath10k: Search SMBIOS for OEM board file
+extension") added a feature to ath10k that allows Board Data File
+(BDF) conflicts between multiple devices that use the same device IDs
+but have different calibration requirements to be resolved by allowing
+a "variant" string to be stored in SMBIOS [and later device tree, added
+by commit d06f26c5c8a4 ("ath10k: search DT for qcom,ath10k-calibration-
+variant")] that gets appended to the ID stored in board-2.bin.
+
+This original patch had a regression, however. Namely that devices with
+a variant present in SMBIOS that didn't need custom BDFs could no longer
+find the default BDF, which has no variant appended. The patch was
+reverted and re-applied with a fix for this issue in commit 1657b8f84ed9
+("search SMBIOS for OEM board file extension").
+
+But the fix to fall back to a default BDF introduced another issue: the
+driver currently parses IEs in board-2.bin one by one, and for each one
+it first checks to see if it matches the ID with the variant appended.
+If it doesn't, it checks to see if it matches the "fallback" ID with no
+variant. If a matching BDF is found at any point during this search, the
+search is terminated and that BDF is used. The issue is that it's very
+possible (and is currently the case for board-2.bin files present in the
+ath10k-firmware repository) for the default BDF to occur in an earlier
+IE than the variant-specific BDF. In this case, the current code will
+happily choose the default BDF even though a better-matching BDF is
+present later in the file.
+
+This patch fixes the issue by first searching the entire file for the ID
+with variant, and searching for the fallback ID only if that search
+fails. It also includes some code cleanup in the area, as
+ath10k_core_fetch_board_data_api_n() no longer does its own string
+mangling to remove the variant from an ID, instead leaving that job to a
+new flag passed to ath10k_core_create_board_name().
+
+I've tested this patch on a QCA4019 and verified that the driver behaves
+correctly for 1) both fallback and variant BDFs present, 2) only fallback
+BDF present, and 3) no matching BDFs present.
