🎀 Constants 🎀

Bestie, here's the full roster — every single one, no skips, no "and the rest", okay? 🫶

  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_INVALID — the invalid timepoint, aka the "girl what" option 🙈
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_EARLY — happens pre loading the FW, before the firmware even wakes up 💤
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_AFTER_ALIVE — first cmd from host after alive notif, the lil "hi I'm here" moment 👋
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_POST_INIT — the last cmd in the series of init sequence, closing out the whole routine 💅
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_FW_ASSERT — FW assert, she's having a crisis 😭
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_FW_HW_ERROR — FW HW error, hardware said nope 💀
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_FW_TFD_Q_HANG — TFD queue hang, the queue is stuck and being dramatic
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_FW_DHC_NOTIFICATION — DHC cmd response and notif 📬
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_FW_RSP_OR_NOTIF — FW response or notification; the data field holds id and group 🔍
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_USER_TRIGGER — user trigger time point, you did this, main character energy 👑
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_PERIODIC — periodic timepoint that fires in constant intervals; the data field holds the interval time in msec ⏰
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_RESERVED — reserved, not for us bestie 🚫
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_HOST_ASSERT — literally marked "Unused", she's just vibing there 🦋
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_HOST_ALIVE_TIMEOUT — alive timeout, the firmware ghosted us 😔
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_HOST_DEVICE_ENABLE — device enable ✅
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_HOST_DEVICE_DISABLE — device disable ❌
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_HOST_D3_START — D3 start 🔋
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_HOST_D3_END — D3 end 🔌
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_MISSED_BEACONS — missed beacons, she's not picking up the signal 📡
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_ASSOC_FAILED — association failure, the connection didn't slay 💔
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_TX_FAILED — Tx frame failed, frame never made it out the door 😬
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_TX_WFD_ACTION_FRAME_FAILED — wifi direct action frame failed 📶
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_TX_LATENCY_THRESHOLD — Tx latency threshold, the vibes got too slow 🐌
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_HANG_OCCURRED — hang occurred, everything froze, iconic in the worst way 💀
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_EAPOL_FAILED — EAPOL failed 🔐
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_FAKE_TX — fake Tx, pretend transmission, we're manifesting ✨
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_DEASSOC — de association, it's giving breakup 😭
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_PRESET_OVERRIDE_EXT_REQ — request to override preset 🙋
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_PRESET_OVERRIDE_START — start handling override preset request 🚀
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_SCAN_FAILURE — failed scan channel list, the scan said no 💅
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_ESR_LINK_UP — EMLSR is active (several links are activated) 🔗
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_ESR_LINK_DOWN — EMLSR is inactive (only one active link left) 🪫
  • IWL_FW_INI_TIME_POINT_NUM — number of time points, the lil counter at the end 🧮

🌈 Description 🌈

So here's the tea: these are hard coded time points in which the driver can send hcmd or perform dump collection. That's the whole point — fixed moments in the timeline where the driver's allowed to do its thing. No cap 🔥
