General update of wireless stack & drivers for RHEL8.6 to upstream version 5.16 and later fixes

Comment 1 Íñigo Huguet 2022-01-25 10:02:05 UTC
Note for ourselves: ensure to check that this commit, which is part of this update, doesn't break ath11k hardware (i.e. WCN6855 or QCA6390)

Comment 2 Íñigo Huguet 2022-01-25 10:02:53 UTC
Sorry, the commit:
72f412434772 Revert "ath11k: add read variant from SMBIOS for download board data"

Comment 9 Ken Benoit 2022-02-22 17:06:42 UTC
Ran testing against RHEL-8.6.0-20220220.3 with kernel-4.18.0-368.el8.mr2125_220221_1217. Testing passed without issue against an Intel AX211, Intel 6200, Intel 8265, RTL8852AE, RTL8822BE, 88W8897, BCM43224, and Intel 2230. Leaving Verified:Tested and SanityOnly intact.

Comment 14 Ken Benoit 2022-03-01 15:53:29 UTC
Ran automated wireless regression testing against RHEL-8.6.0-20220227.2 with kernel-4.18.0-371.el8 installed (since it hasn't landed in the nightlies yet). Didn't come across any issues during testing. Verifying as SanityOnly.

Comment 17 Íñigo Huguet 2022-03-15 12:31:06 UTC
@jbenc: shuali helped me with the testing of fq_codel after the changes made during this rebase. They already had automated tests for it and she ran them for me. I've added the results of the tests as attachments, no regressions were found.
