Subject: [PATCH 4/6] b43: add IPA TX gain table for N-PHY r8 + radio 2057 r8
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 03:53:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4581a48e-a6e4-46b1-853f-16db445d6890@mythread.it> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <8c0a07d2-9ec9-43d6-bdf7-f625bbb4a38a@mythread.it>
Add the 2.4 GHz IPA TX gain table for N-PHY rev 8 paired with radio
2057 rev 8 and wire it to the existing dispatcher.
b43_nphy_get_ipa_gain_table() in tables_nphy.c currently handles
case 8 only for radio_rev == 5; radio_rev == 8 falls through and
the function logs:
b43-phyX ERROR: No 2GHz IPA gain table available for this device
b43-phyX ERROR: PHY init: Channel switch to default failed
leaving b43_phy_init() to return an error and core_init to abort
before the MAC is enabled.
The new b43_ntab_tx_gain_ipa_2057_rev8_2g[] is 128 u32 entries,
matching the layout of the existing b43_ntab_tx_gain_ipa_2057_
rev5_2g and b43_ntab_tx_gain_ipa_2057_rev9_2g siblings in this
file. Each entry packs five gain fields decoded by
wlc_phy_get_tx_gain_nphy in the proprietary driver, the same
encoding b43 uses for the other 2057 IPA tables.
The high byte of every entry differs from the rev 5 sibling (0x40
vs 0x30): different PAD-gain code prefix for the rev 8 front-end.
The low 24 bits coincide with rev 5 across the whole table - the
gain step amplitudes are the same, only the PAD-gain selector
prefix changes.
Values extracted from an MMIO dump of the proprietary Broadcom wl
driver running on BCM6362 silicon (wl driver 6.30.102.7).
Encoding cross-validated by re-deriving the in-tree rev 5 table
from the same source using the same extraction method - the
result matches b43_ntab_tx_gain_ipa_2057_rev5_2g byte-for-byte.
