rt2800: fix RT5390 & RT3290 TX power settings regression

2013-07-03T17:55:22+00:00

commit 8c8d2017ba25c510ddf093419048460db1109bc4 upstream.

My change:

commit cee2c7315f60beeff6137ee59e99acc77d636eeb

    rt2800: use BBP_R1 for setting tx power

unfortunately does not work well with RT5390 and RT3290 chips as they
require different temperature compensation TX power settings (TSSI
tuning). Since that commit make wireless connection very unstable on
those chips, restore previous behavior to fix regression. Once we
implement proper TSSI tuning on 5390/3290 we can restore back setting
TX power by BBP_R1 register for those chips.

rt2x00: Fix transmit power troubles on some Ralink RT30xx cards

2013-05-08T03:33:08+00:00

commit 7e9dafd873034dd64ababcb858be424c4780ae13 upstream.

Some cards on Ralink RT30xx chipset not have correctly TX_MIXER_GAIN
value in them EEPROM/EFUSE. In this case, we must use default value,
but always used EEPROM/EFUSE value. As result we have tranmitt power
range from -10dBm to +6dBm instead 0dBm to +16dBm.

Correctly value in EEPROM/EFUSE is one or more for RT3070 and two or
more for other RT30xx chips.

Tested on Canyon CNP-WF518N1 usb Wi-Fi dongle and Jorjin WN8020 usb
embedded Wi-Fi module.

rt2x00: rt2x00pci: fix build error on Ralink RT3x5x SoCs

2013-04-03T18:50:06+00:00

The rt2800pci driver supports the built-in wireless
MAC of the Ralink RT3x5x SoCs. However building the
driver for these SoCs leads to the following error:

    LD      init/built-in.o
  drivers/built-in.o: In function `rt2800pci_rxdone_tasklet':
  <...>/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800pci.c:1012: undefined reference to `rt2x00pci_rxdone'
  drivers/built-in.o:(.rodata+0x4780): undefined reference to `rt2x00pci_initialize'
  drivers/built-in.o:(.rodata+0x4784): undefined reference to `rt2x00pci_uninitialize'
  drivers/built-in.o:(.rodata+0x47bc): undefined reference to `rt2x00pci_flush_queue'
  drivers/built-in.o:(.rodata+0x4818): undefined reference to `rt2x00pci_regbusy_read'
  make[5]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

The missing functions are provided by the rt2x00pci
module. This module is only selected by the rt2800pci
driver if PCI support is enabled in the kernel, because
some parts of the rt2x00pci code depends on PCI support.

PCI support is not available on the RT3x5x SoCs because
those have no PCI host controller at all.

Move the non PCI specific code from rt2x00pci into a
separate module. This makes it possible to use that
code even if PCI support is disabled. The affected
functions are used by all of the rt2x00 PCI drivers
so select the new module for those drivers.

rt2x00: rt2x00pci_regbusy_read() - only print register access failure once

2013-04-03T18:50:06+00:00

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1128840

It appears that when this register read fails it never recovers, so
I think there is no need to repeat the same error message ad infinitum.

rt2x00: fix rt2x00 to work with the new ralink SoC config symbols

2013-03-13T18:18:53+00:00

Since v3.9-rc1 the kernel has basic support for Ralink WiSoC. The config symbols
are named slightly different than before. Fix the rt2x00 to match the new
symbols.

rt2x00: error in configurations with mesh support disabled

If CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not set, cfg80211 will now allow advertising
interface combinations with NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT present.
Add appropriate ifdefs to avoid running into errors.

Pull driver core patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1

  There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers
  all over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:

   - add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
     able to check return values.

   - remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

  Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
  updates"

mac80211: stop modifying HT SMPS capability

2013-02-15T08:41:41+00:00

Instead of modifying the HT SMPS capability field
for stations, track the SMPS mode explicitly in a
new field in the station struct and use it in the
drivers that care about it. This simplifies the
code using it.
