Bug 2047878

Hi, not sure what kernel version are you working on now for F35, but we needed this commit for RHEL. It's a post v5.16 commit, included in stable version 5.16.3:
63550aa49351 ath11k: add string type to search board data in board-2.bin for WCN6855

Also, to support the new hw revision 2.1, this commit is needed, not yet in stable branch:
d1147a316b53 ath11k: add support for WCN6855 hw2.1

Additionally, for hw2.1 support, a symlink in firmware folder needs to be done, as explained in the previous commit's message.

The kernel patches are queued for the 5.16 rebases and will show up in 5.16.5 and later builds. You need to open a separate bug against linux-firmware to get the the firmwares in.

Thanks Justin - will do on the FW

Do you have a timeline on the 5.16.5 release likely date please?

Note for myself: FW tracked thru https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2048666

So 5.16.5 is released. Unfortunately I had to back out the patch for hw revision 2.1.  While the patch applied cleanly, it doesn't actually compile with 5.16 because it incorporates other changes which are not in 5.16. It is expected that 5.16.6 will release this weekend, and I won't have time to get the backport cleaned up before then, but I will work on it early next week and expect to get the hw revision 2.1 patch in 5.16.7.  It is too early to tell for sure, but patterns would say next Wednesday or Thursday will be 5.16.7.

Thanks for the update Justin. As we're blocked by the firmware not being in the linux-firmware repository it's not a problem if it's taking a bit longer - I think that's going to be the gating item.

hw 2.1 patch

This should be the correct patch to apply on top of 5.16.7, according to what we've done on RHEL. Note: untested with Fedora kernel, but it should work.

It builds, though no hardware to test. It is queued for 5.16.8, which is out for review and should ship Wednesday.

I can help with testing if that helps.

I'm happy to help with testing, as well, and also with other wireless stuff if we have it in our lab.
