The design philosophy in firmware is that if the firmware does not provide all fields, for example cycle_count in this event, the host driver is supposed to replace the missing field with value zero and continue normally. Obviously ath10k does not do that and instead it drops the whole WMI event, which causes breakup like this. The quick fix (having separate structs for TLV and 10.x interfaces) in this patch is ok, but in the future if similar field additions arise we need to remember to fix ath10k event parsing so that both new ath10k will continue to work with older firmwares.

The tlv targets such as WCN3990 send more data in the chan info event, which is not sent by the non tlv targets. There is a minimum size check in the wmi event for non-tlv targets and hence we cannot update the common channel info structure. If the common channel info structure is updated, the size check for chan info event for non-tlv targets will fail and return -EPROTO and we see the below error messages ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to parse chan info event: -71 Add tlv specific channel info structure and restore the original size of the common channel info structure to mitigate this issue.
