After commit 92cadedd9d5f ("brcmfmac: Avoid keeping power to SDIO card
unless WOWL is used"), the wifi adapter by default is turned off on
suspend and then re-probed on resume.

This conflicts with some embedded boards that require to remain powered.
They will fail on resume with:

brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_bus_rxctl: resumed on timeout
ieee80211 phy1: brcmf_bus_started: failed: -110
ieee80211 phy1: brcmf_attach: dongle is not responding: err=-110
brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback: brcmf_attach failed

This commit checks for the Device Tree property 'cap-power-off-cards'.
If this property is not set, it means that we do not have the capability
to power off and should therefore remain powered.

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.

  Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
  bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
  merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
  mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
  stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.

  There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at
  least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is
  working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone
  else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the
  moment.

  Here's a short list of the things in here:

   - driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o
     functions.

     We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
     depending on what you want to do.

   - misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
     them

   - debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
     places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing
     things in complex ways.

   - driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
     different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.

   - other small fixes and updates

  All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
  merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
  "soon""

Before 6.13, random seed to the firmware was given based on the logic
whether the device had valid OTP or not, and such devices were found
mainly on the T2 and Apple Silicon Macs. In 6.13, the logic was changed,
and the device table was used for this purpose, so as to cover the special
case of BCM43752 chip.

During the transition, the device table for BCM4364 and BCM4355 Wi-Fi chips
which had valid OTP was not modified, thus breaking Wi-Fi on these devices.
This patch adds does the necessary changes, similar to the ones done for
other chips.

<title>wifi: brcmfmac: fix NULL pointer dereference in brcmf_txfinalize()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=68abd0c4ebf24cd499841a488b97a6873d5efabb'/>
<id>68abd0c4ebf24cd499841a488b97a6873d5efabb</id>
<content type='text'>
On removal of the device or unloading of the kernel module a potential NULL
pointer dereference occurs.

The following sequence deletes the interface:

  brcmf_detach()
    brcmf_remove_interface()
      brcmf_del_if()

Inside the brcmf_del_if() function the drvr-&gt;if2bss[ifidx] is updated to
BRCMF_BSSIDX_INVALID (-1) if the bsscfgidx matches.

After brcmf_remove_interface() call the brcmf_proto_detach() function is
called providing the following sequence:

  brcmf_detach()
    brcmf_proto_detach()
      brcmf_proto_msgbuf_detach()
        brcmf_flowring_detach()
          brcmf_msgbuf_delete_flowring()
            brcmf_msgbuf_remove_flowring()
              brcmf_flowring_delete()
                brcmf_get_ifp()
                brcmf_txfinalize()

Since brcmf_get_ip() can and actually will return NULL in this case the
call to brcmf_txfinalize() will result in a NULL pointer dereference inside
brcmf_txfinalize() when trying to update ifp-&gt;ndev-&gt;stats.tx_errors.

This will only happen if a flowring still has an skb.

Although the NULL pointer dereference has only been seen when trying to
update the tx statistic, all other uses of the ifp pointer have been
guarded as well with an early return if ifp is NULL.

Use debugfs_get_aux() instead.  And switch to debugfs_short_fops, while we
are at it...
