[PATCH 00/11] SDIO support for ath10k

[silexcommon at gmail.com]

From: Alagu Sankar <alagusankar at silex-india.com>

This patchset, generated against master-pending branch, enables a fully
functional SDIO interface driver for ath10k.  Patches have been verified on
QCA9377-3 WB396 and Silex's SX-SDCAC reference cards with Station, Access Point
and P2P modes.

The driver is verified with the firmware WLAN.TF.1.1.1-00061-QCATFSWPZ-1
with the board data from respective SDIO card vendors. Receive performance
matches the QCA reference driver when used with SDIO3.0 enabled platforms.
iperf tests indicate a downlink UDP of 275Mbit/s and TCP of 150Mbit/s

This patchset differs from the previous high latency patches, specific to SDIO.
HI_ACS_FLAGS_SDIO_REDUCE_TX_COMPL_SET is enabled for HI_ACS. This instructs the
firmware to use HTT_T2H_MSG_TYPE_TX_COMPL_IND for outgoing packets. Without
this flag, the management frames are not sent out by the firmware. Possibility
of management frames being sent via WMI and data frames through the reduced Tx
completion needs to be probed further.

Further improvements can be done on the transmit path by implementing packet
bundle. Scatter Gather is another area of improvement for both Transmit and
Receive, but may not work on all platforms

Known issues: Surprise removal of the card, when the device is in connected
state, delays sdio function remove due to delayed WMI command failures.
Existing ath10k framework can not differentiate between a kernel module
removal and the surprise removal of teh card.
