IPQ8074 HW has support to verify the PN of the received frames.
For all frames except for fragmented ones, HW checks the PN and
delivers them to the driver. For fragmented frames, driver is
required to do a little more; it has to reassemble the fragments
and then reinject them to the HW for verifying the PN. Currently,
to keep the logic simple, PN verifcation is disabled in HW and is
handled in mac80211 for all the frames (fragmented and unfragmented).
On the contrary, offloading PN Validation to the HW brings important
benefits. It reduces CPU cycles spent on the host CPU for verifying
the same; helps in enabling features which improve performance like
mac80211 fast RX path, enabling multiple REO rings for parallel RX
processing, 802.11 decapsulation offloading. All these features are
dependent on PN offload which in turn is dependent on handling of
the received fragments in the driver.
When TKIP security is used, additional handling is required while
processing the fragments; since MIC is computed on an MSDU in TKIP,
only the last fragment has the MIC info. In this case, driver has to
compute the MIC after reassembly and compare it against the MIC
present in the frame. For this, MICHAEL_MIC kernel crypto library
APIs are used and the dependencies are appropriately set.

ath11k is a new driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices, first
supporting only IPQ8074 SoC using the shared memory AHB bus. ath11k
uses mac80211 and supports AP, Station and Mesh modes.
Even though ath11k has some similar code as with ath10k (especially
the WMI layer) it was concluded to be simpler to have a "clean start"
for ath11k code base and not try to share the code with ath10k. This
makes maintenance easier and avoids major changes in ath10k, which
would have significantly increased the risk of regressions in existing
setups.
Even though the driver is very similar with ath10k but there are major
differences as well. The datapath is completely different. ath11k
supports multiple MACs, called "soc" in the firmware interface. And
there's only one WMI interface to support.
Currently ath11k supports only IEEE 802.11ac mode, but patches for
802.11ax are available and they will be submitted after ath11k is
accepted to upstream.
The firmware images are available from ath11k-firmware repository but
they will be also submitted to linux-firmware:
https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware
This was tested with firmware version WLAN.HK.2.1.0.1-00629-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1.
The driver has had multiple authors who are listed in alphabetical
order below.
