Enable ELP authorization in AP mode and enable the use
of the wakeup bit in the ELP register.

Introduce AP role sleep configuration which is disabled
by default. When configured, it allows the AP to sleep
when ELP is authorized for it.

This patch requires a new firmware, loading of "wl18xx-conf.bin" from
[1] fails with:

wlcore: ERROR configuration binary file size is wrong, expected 1226 got 1221

thanks. seems you're right.

anyway, note that this file is not actual fw, but only the default
configuration params.
you can just delete it, and the driver will load just fine.
you can then recreate it with something like:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/wlcore/wl18xx/conf >
/lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl18xx-conf.bin

actually, i don't think it makes much sense to have this file in the
linux-firmware git at all.
i'll try handling it.

Thanks, there are more file with size of ~1k, are they optional, too?
What's the "error" message if these optional files are not present?

AFAIK, the other nvs files are basically required for proper operation.

From working with $CUSTOMERS I gained the impression, messages like
"error failed to load...." for optional file don't shine the best light
on Linux, a neutral "using default values" is far better.

i agree :)

Any update on the wl18xx-conf.bin issue? This file is still in
linux-firmware repo.

I have following problem. My Jorjin chip requires wl18xx-conf.bin
compiled from special *.ini file.
https://github.com/TI-OpenLink/18xx-ti-utils/tree/master/wlconf
doesn't seem to support v4 firmware as it creates 1221 bytes conf
file. Where can I get proper wlconf and companion files
(dictionary.txt, struct.bin etc.)?
