Hardware target implements an address space larger than that PCI BAR can
map. In order to be able to access the whole target address space, the BAR
space is split into 4 segments, of which the last 3, called windows, can
be dynamically mapped to the desired area. This is achieved by updating
window register with appropriate window value. Currently each time when
accessing a register that beyond ATH11K_PCI_WINDOW_START, host calculates
the window value and caches it after window update, this way next time
when accessing a register falling in the same window, host knows that the
window is already good hence no additional update needed.
However this mechanism breaks after global reset is triggered in
ath11k_pci_soc_global_reset(), because with global reset hardware resets
window register hence the window is not properly mapped any more. Current
host does nothing about this, as a result a subsequent register access may
not work as expected if it falls in a window same as before.
Although there is no obvious issue seen now, better to fix it to avoid
future problem. The fix is done by restoring the window register after
global reset.

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 reStructuredText 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.
