[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] ath10k-ct: limit available channels via DT

[David Bauer]

This backports upstream commit

34d5629 ath10k: limit available channels via DT ieee80211-freq-limit

to the 4.19 ath10k-ct version. Without this patch, disabled channels
are still listed as a supported configuration for the radio.

The identical patch was also backported by OpenWRT to the non-ct driver.
It can be dropped as soon as we switch to an ath10k-ct version based on
4.20 or higher.

+Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Limit available channels via DT ieee80211-freq-limit
+
+Tri-band devices (1x 2.4GHz + 2x 5GHz) often incorporate special filters in
+the RX and TX path. These filtered channel can in theory still be used by
+the hardware but the signal strength is reduced so much that it makes no
+sense.
+
+There is already a DT property to limit the available channels but ath10k
+has to manually call this functionality to limit the currrently set wiphy
+channels further.
