PlatformConfig: switch wifi libs to qcwcn from bcmdhd #167

Closed oshmoun closed 5 years ago

oshmoun commented 5 years ago

bcmdhd implementation relies on custom ioctls that are not supported by the mainline brcmfmac driver. qcwcn libs is closer to the standard interfaces, and hence actually more compatible than bcmdhd libs. also remove the declaration of firmware paths if bcmdhd is used, since it is now compeletely superceded by brcmfmac and will not be considered again.

Solves 5GHz STA (wlan gets disconnected every now and then) and AP issues (cannot enable 5GHz AP due to dhd wifi lib using a custom implementation and not the standard cfg80211).

For Tone, depends on https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/pull/1951
