I'm leaving this patch out for now until I understand this better.Do you prefer me to set v2 without that line or you could fix that in the apply stage?No need to send v2. It seems that Victor will need this change for something else he's working on, so I guess he can take it over once it is needed. I don't want to include this unless we have a good reason to do it.There is a good reason to include this: a) It solve STA calibration issue in the FW in case of SW channel switch (Rx issues)
This is a good reason (fixing a bug) and should be mentioned in the commit description. Do we have more detailed information on this?
b) This is FW support for channel switch with one command instead of using several commands: rate_policies, roc \ join...
This is an optimization and not entirely mandatory. This is the only thing I thought this patch was addressing (the commit message was not very descriptive, so I could only assume). At this stage (ie. close to the merge window), I didn't want to assume the risk of a change just for to optimize things a bit. And, since I had my doubts about the block_tx value, I decided not to include it.
Our latest version pass full test cycle with that fix that solve CS issues.
Okay, once I get the answer from the firmware team about the block_tx value, I'll fix up this patch and apply it. Thanks for the explanantions. -- Cheers, Luca.
