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:

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

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.
