 +==== Introduction ====
  
-==== Linux coding style ====+This is the coding style document for [[en/​users/​Drivers/​ath10k|ath10k]],​ [[en/​users/​Drivers/​ath11k|ath11k]] and [[en/​users/​Drivers/​ath12k|ath12k]] drivers. Read this before writing any code. 
 + 
 +==== Tools ====
 + 
 +Use latest GCC which you can download from [[https://​mirrors.edge.kernel.org/​pub/​tools/​crosstool/​|crosstool]]. Setting it up is easy, unpack it to a directory and create a GNUmakefile in Linux sources top-level directory:​

-ath10k mostly follows ​[[https://www.kernel.org/​doc/html/​latest/​process/​coding-style.html|Linux Coding Style]], so read that first+You will need [[https://docs.kernel.org/​dev-tools/sparse.html#getting-sparse|the latest sparse from git]]. Linux distros usually have too old sparse and you will see wrong errors!

-For checking the code we have dedicated ​script ​[[https://​github.com/​qca/​qca-swiss-army-knife/​blob/​master/​tools/​scripts/​ath10k/​ath10k-check|ath10k-check]] ​which runs various tests, including sparse and checkpatch. Run the script with ''​--help''​ to see the installation and usage instructions. ​Strongly recommended ​to run this before submitting patches as it can catch common problems. ​Example:+For checking the code we have dedicated ​scripts for each driver: 
 + 
 +  * [[https://​github.com/​qca/​qca-swiss-army-knife/​blob/​master/​tools/​scripts/​ath10k/​ath10k-check|ath10k-check]] ​ 
 +  * [[https://​github.com/​qca/​qca-swiss-army-knife/​blob/​master/​tools/​scripts/​ath11k/​ath11k-check|ath11k-check]]  
 +  * [[https://​github.com/​qca/​qca-swiss-army-knife/​blob/​master/​tools/​scripts/​ath12k/​ath12k-check|ath12k-check]]  
 + 
 +They run various tests, including sparse and checkpatch. Run the script with ''​--help''​ to see the installation and usage instructions. ​''​--version''​ shows version information for all dependencies,​ include that when reporting a problem. 
 + 
 +It is required ​to run the check script ​before submitting patches as it can catch common problems. ​There must not be any warnings! 
 + 
 +An example how to run the script:
