Subject: [PATCH ath-next 2/2] wifi: ath12k: refactor m3 and aux_uc firmware memory handling
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 22:56:01 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103-m3_and_aux_ucode-v1-2-e14f13fdfa41@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103-m3_and_aux_ucode-v1-0-e14f13fdfa41@oss.qualcomm.com>

ath12k_qmi_m3_free()/ath12k_qmi_m3_load() and
ath12k_qmi_aux_uc_free()/ath12k_qmi_aux_uc_load() implement identical
logic for freeing a DMA-coherent firmware memory region and for
loading firmware into it (reuse existing buffer if large enough,
otherwise free and reallocate, falling back to a standalone firmware
file when no embedded data is present).

Factor the common logic into ath12k_qmi_free_mem_region() and
ath12k_qmi_fw_mem_load(), and have the m3 and aux_uc wrappers call
into them with the appropriate struct ath12k_fw_mem_region and
firmware file name. The shared free helper also clears paddr, which
the previous per-region implementations missed.

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.6-01243-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
