Request for .handle field for pcc/pdc callbacks

[Herr Schubert]

I work currently working on a driver module supporting your nRF91x1.
I schedule rx-operations via your nrf_modem_dect_phy_rx() dect_phy modem-api.
I am using the .handle field of the struct nrf_modem_dect_phy_rx_params to store my context which I want to reference to when the modem does notify me via my provided callbacks.

If the rx-operation has finished the op_complete callback provides this very handle as parameter and I can re-create my related context.
But if pcc/pdc have been received the handle is not returned with pcc/pdc/pcc_crc_err/pdc_crc_err callbacks.
Now it creates some unexpected trouble for me to retrieve the related handle for that data if I want to associate that data to its related rx-operation.

Do you plan to add that handle as parameter field for example with nrf_modem_dect_phy_rx_pcc_status/nrf_modem_dect_phy_rx_pcc_status/nrf_modem_dect_phy_rx_pcc_crc_failure/nrf_modem_dect_phy_rx_pdc_crc_failure?

Hello, 

Based on the previous ticket I am assuming you are using nRF Connect SDK v2.9.0. 

Are you able to share you project with us or even more context/code? Are there any errors or logs that you can share? I will need to forward internally to get an answer from our DECT experts.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Yes, currently I use the SDK v2.9.0. There is no error, I use your API as it is and so far it works well. Merely it is a improvement/feature request.

I try to explain it with code examples:

When I want to schedule an rx-operation I provide my context ctx as handle.

struct nrf_modem_dect_phy_rx_params rx_params= {
    .handle = (uintptr_t)ctx,
    ...
};
ret = nrf_modem_dect_phy_rx(&rx_params);

If that operation has been finished I can use that context (which creates the relation to the very operation) in my callback to do operation management.

static void op_complete_cb(const uint64_t *time, int16_t temperature, enum nrf_modem_dect_phy_err status, uint32_t handle) {

    struct radio_op_ctx* ctx = (void*) handle;
    ...
};

If the modem received a message within that rx-operation then pcc_cb() and pdc_cb() callbacks are called before the op_complete_cb(). But both callbacks do not provide the handle, I can not retrieve my context and can not trigger operation management.

static void pcc_cb(const uint64_t *time,const struct nrf_modem_dect_phy_rx_pcc_status *status, const union nrf_modem_dect_phy_hdr *hdr) {

    struct radio_op_ctx* ctx = (void*) handle; <- This would be nice!
    ...
};

static void pdc_cb(const uint64_t *time, const struct nrf_modem_dect_phy_rx_pdc_status *status, const void *data, uint32_t len) {

    struct radio_op_ctx* ctx = (void*) handle; <- This would be nice!
    ...
};

To circumvent that I have to implement some static global context access mechanism.

I hope it is more clear now.

Thanks for clarifying! I will forward this as a feature request, and update you if they have any initial comments to this.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
