Makefile: drop -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ from cflags

2016-12-15T22:13:43+00:00

That's the default now, no need for makefiles to set it.

====================
wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.10

Major changes:

iwlwifi

* finalize and enable dynamic queue allocation
* use dev_coredumpmsg() to prevent locking the driver
* small fix to pass the AID to the FW
* use FW PS decisions with multi-queue

ath9k

* add device tree bindings
* switch to use mac80211 intermediate software queues to reduce
  latency and fix bufferbloat

wl18xx

* allow scanning in AP mode

wlcore: Allow scans when in AP mode

2016-11-17T06:43:05+00:00

When in AP mode, scans can be done without changing firmware to
the multi-role firmware. Allow the interface to scan if forced
in the scan request.

wlcore: Add RX_BA_WIN_SIZE_CHANGE_EVENT event

2016-11-17T06:38:05+00:00

This event is used by the Firmware to limit the RX BA win size
for a specific link.

The event handler updates the new size in the mac's sta->sta struct.

BA sessions opened for that link will use the new restricted
win_size. This limitation remains until a new update is received or
until the link is closed.

wlcore: Pass win_size taken from ieee80211_sta to FW

2016-11-17T06:38:04+00:00

When starting a new BA session, we must pass the win_size to the FW.

To do this we take max_rx_aggregation_subframes (BA RX win size)
which is stored in ieee80211_sta structure (e.g per link and not per HW)

We will use the value stored per link when passing the win_size to
firmware through the ACX_BA_SESSION_RX_SETUP command.

Mostly simple overlapping changes.

For example, David Ahern's adjacency list revamp in 'net-next'
conflicted with an adjacency list traversal bug fix in 'net'.

mac80211: add a HW flag for supporting HW TX fragmentation

2016-10-19T10:12:44+00:00

Currently mac80211 determines whether HW does fragmentation
by checking whether the set_frag_threshold callback is set
or not.
However, some drivers may want to set the HW fragmentation
capability depending on HW generation.
Allow this by checking a HW flag instead of checking the
callback.

wlcore: sdio: drop kfree for memory allocated with devm_kzalloc

2016-10-05T16:05:14+00:00

It's not necessary to free memory allocated with devm_kzalloc
and using kfree leads to a double free.

wlcore: Fix config firmware loading issues

2016-09-26T15:13:45+00:00

Booting multiple wl12xx and wl18xx devices using the same rootfs is
a pain. You currently have to symlink the right nvs file depending
on the wl12xx type.

For example, with wl1271-nvs.bin being a symlink to wl127x-nvs.bin
by default and trying to bring up a wl128x based device:

wlcore: ERROR nvs size is not as expected: 1113 != 912
wlcore: ERROR NVS file is needed during boot
wlcore: ERROR NVS file is needed during boot
wlcore: ERROR firmware boot failed despite 3 retries

Note that wl18xx uses a separate config firmware wl18xx-conf.bin
that can be generated with tools using the following two git repos:

git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan/18xx-ti-utils
git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan/wl18xx_fw

So let's not configure the nvs file for wl18xx as it's not needed
AFAIK. If it turns out that we also need the nvs file for wl18xx,
we can just add it to the config firmware data for wl18xx.

Let's fix the issue by using the chip specific config firmware
data, and make sure we produce understandable warnings if something
is missing.
