Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Stanislaw Gruszka 2016-08-18 14:38:52 UTC
Description of problem:

Add Dell specific ids/board/eeprom data (all included in board-2.bin file) in order to support Dell ath10k devices (bug 1298484). This data is not yet in upstream linux-firmware tree, for now it was posted only to kvalo/ath10k-firmware:

https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/commit/7c0411643b195b246d3871f409f9219f528b39c1

If the blob is not committed to linux-firwmare upstream, we'll not take it. Setting Devel NACK, for now.

 We need this FW be merged into RHEL 7.3, we need know how to accelerate the process of "committed to linux-firwmare upstream"?
Is it owned by QCA or by community?

It's up to Kalle Valo from Qualcomm, I asked him already when he plans to push it upstream...

Comment 5 Stanislaw Gruszka 2016-08-24 06:38:04 UTC
Patch was posted upstream:

Is there any other block that the FW could be merged into snapshot 1 image?

... and it was applied to linux-firmware git:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=7534e191256629a20c02e04d5f6d0439c48de80a

Comment 10 Ken Benoit 2016-08-31 16:06:36 UTC
Installed RHEL-7.3-20160830.n.0 on a system and verified that /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board-2.bin and /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin exist and appear to be the proper file sizes from the patch. Marking as verified.
