    wifi: ath12k: add firmware-2.bin support · 12f491cd
    Raj Kumar Bhagat authored
    Firmware IE containers can dynamically provide various information
    what firmware supports. Also it can embed more than one image so
    updating firmware is easy, user just needs to update one file in
    /lib/firmware/.
    
    The firmware API 2 or higher will use the IE container format, the
    current API 1 will not use the new format but it still is supported
    for some time. Firmware API 2 files are named as firmware-2.bin
    (which contains both amss.bin and m3.bin images) and API 1 files are
    amss.bin and m3.bin.
    
    Currently ath12k PCI driver provides firmware binary (amss.bin) path to
    MHI driver, MHI driver reads firmware from filesystem and boots it. Add
    provision to read firmware files from ath12k driver and provide the amss.bin
    firmware data and size to MHI using a pointer.
    
    Currently enum ath12k_fw_features is empty, the patches adding features will
    add the flags.
