Subject: [PATCH ath-next v4 2/8] wifi: ath9k_htc: fix the byte count of a full RMW buffer flush
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 20:34:23 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916173429.403889-3-nerijus.bendziunas@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916173429.403889-1-nerijus.bendziunas@gmail.com>
ath9k_reg_rmw_buffer() sizes a full-buffer flush with
sizeof(struct register_write), 8 bytes, instead of
sizeof(struct register_rmw), 12 bytes. ar9271_hw_pa_cal() queues
exactly 15 read-modify-writes, so the AR9271 PA calibration has been
losing its last five writes since the buffer was added.
The corrected command is 192 bytes, three full 64-byte USB packets,
and the firmware ends a command only on a short packet, so the device
stops answering WMI on the first interface open. Send the whole buffer
on a full flush and cap it at 14 entries; 15 is the only count within
the buffer's reach that fills whole packets.
