Enable Support for 5/10 MHz channel width on ath10K based wifi

For Developers

It is included in all your firmwares that I've looked at ... except the qca988x firmware. I Dont know why it's not in that one, but it's not. If I boot this firmware up on a device (say a Rocket 5AC lite) there's no IBSS mode. If I use the default OpenWRT firmware, IBSS is there.

its also included in the qca988x. but you need to patch ath10k. the CT firmware uses the 10.1 codebase. i use 10.2.4. the ct patches forcefully only enables adhoc for 10.1 if i remember correct. you can change this in ath10k_mac_register

here a small output of a qca988x based device using dd-wrt
Supported interface modes:
* IBSS
* managed
* AP
* AP/VLAN
* monitor
* mesh point

Thanks. I'll try forcing the relevant bit on and see how it goes.

Thanks again. Forcing the ADHOC bit on correctly enables IBSS support for this firmware.

Hi,
could you please be so helpful to send me this patch and firmware too?
Trying with QCA9377, but will be glad to any firmwares for another chipset if there is not for 9377

i cannot provide firmwares for qca9377. i dont have the sourcecodes for them. but i can tell you that the patch alone works also without custom firmwares if the chipset supports it. the firmwares i made a are only required for chipsets which do not officially support 5 and 10 mhz channels. because there is a way to run these chipsets in these modes without using the standard registers which i make use of in case the chipset is detected as non 5/10 mhz capable. so if qca9377 is able to run such modes, it will work

Thank you! I'm applied your patch and see that QCA9377 not works. I'll find QCA988x, QCA99xx or QCA9984 and try with it
