Hello Adrian,

For reference, would you mind pulling out what hte format of the edge
detection dword is?

[shafi] Sorry I did not dig into the DWORD carrying some radar related info,
as this gets discarded anyway for spectral processing. If you think the discarded
data is going to be useful in some way ??, let me get the dump for you. But feel
free to experiment with this patch !

This is anyway needed for fixing spectral scan ...

If you look into this patch more closely it just extends what Raja had fixed
long time back for QCA99X0 alone
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7040681/

regards,
shafi
