# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

Break out the "memory" EEPROM data read method from being AR9130 specific
to being more generic.

Other embedded SoCs also throw the configuration/PCI register
info into flash.

For now I'm just hard-coding the AR9280 option (for on-board AR9220's on
AP94 and commercial designs (eg D-Link DIR-825.))

TODO:

* Figure out how to support it for all 11n SoC NICs by doing it in
ar5416InitState();
* Don't hard-code the EEPROM size - add another field which is set
by the relevant chip initialisation code.
* 'owl_eep_start_loc' may need to be overridden in some cases to 0x0.
I need to do some further digging.


# 221163 28-Apr-2011 adrian

Introduce AR9130 (HOWL) WMAC support to the FreeBSD HAL.

The AR9130 is an AR9160/AR5416 family WMAC which is glued directly
to the AR913x SoC peripheral bus (APB) rather than via a PCI/PCIe
bridge.

The specifics:

* A new build option is required to use the AR9130 - AH_SUPPORT_AR9130.
This is needed due to the different location the RTC registers live
with this chip; hopefully this will be undone in the future.
This does currently mean that enabling this option will break non-AR9130
builds, so don't enable it unless you're specifically building an image
for the AR913x SoC.

* Add the new probe, attach, EEPROM and PLL methods specific to Howl.

* Add a work-around to ah_eeprom_v14.c which disables some of the checks
for endian-ness and magic in the EEPROM image if an eepromdata block
is provided. This'll be fixed at a later stage by porting the ath9k
probe code and making sure it doesn't break in other setups (which
my previous attempt at this did.)

* Sprinkle Howl modifications throughput the interrupt path - it doesn't
implement the SYNC interrupt registers, so ignore those.

* Sprinkle Howl chip powerup/down throughout the reset path; the RTC methods
were

* Sprinkle some other Howl workarounds in the reset path.

* Hard-code an alternative setup for the AR_CFG register for Howl, that
sets up things suitable for Big-Endian MIPS (which is the only platform
this chip is glued to.)

This has been tested on the AR913x based TP-Link WR-1043nd mode, in
legacy, HT/20 and HT/40 modes.

Caveats:

* 2ghz has only been tested. I've not seen any 5ghz radios glued to this
chipset so I can't test it.

* AR5416_INTERRUPT_MITIGATION is not supported on the AR9130. At least,
it isn't implemented in ath9k. Please don't enable this.

* This hasn't been tested in MBSS mode or in RX/TX block-aggregation mode.
