[ Upstream commit e999a5da28a0e0f7de242d841ef7d5e48f4646ae ] This patch fixes an invalid TX PA DC bias level on QCA9561, which results in a very low output power and very low throughput as devices are further away from the AP (compared to other 2.4GHz APs). This patch was suggested by Felix Fietkau, who noted[1]: "The value written to that register is wrong, because while the mask definition AR_CH0_TOP2_XPABIASLVL uses a different value for 9561, the shift definition AR_CH0_TOP2_XPABIASLVL_S is hardcoded to 12, which is wrong for 9561." In real life testing, without this patch the 2.4GHz throughput on Yuncore XD3200 is around 10Mbps sitting next to the AP, and closer to practical maximum with the patch applied.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
