mwifiex: Use pci_release_region() instead of a pci_release_regions()

2013-05-08T02:51:52+00:00

commit c380aafb77b7435d010698fe3ca6d3e1cd745fde upstream.

PCI regions are associated with the device using
pci_request_region() call. Hence use pci_release_region()
instead of pci_release_regions().

ssb: implement spurious tone avoidance

2013-04-26T04:19:55+00:00

commit 46fc4c909339f5a84d1679045297d9d2fb596987 upstream.

And make use of it in b43. This fixes a regression introduced with

b43: N-PHY: implement spurious tone avoidance
This commit made BCM4322 use only MCS 0 on channel 13, which of course
resulted in performance drop (down to 0.7Mb/s).

ath9k_hw: change AR9580 initvals to fix a stability issue

2013-04-26T04:19:55+00:00

commit f09a878511997c25a76bf111a32f6b8345a701a5 upstream.

The hardware parsing of Control Wrapper Frames needs to be disabled, as
it has been causing spurious decryption error reports. The initvals for
other chips have been updated to disable it, but AR9580 was left out for
some reason.

ath9k_htc: accept 1.x firmware newer than 1.3

2013-04-26T04:19:55+00:00

commit 319e7bd96aca64a478f3aad40711c928405b8b77 upstream.

Since the firmware has been open sourced, the minor version has been
bumped to 1.4 and the API/ABI will stay compatible across further 1.x
releases.

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

2013-04-12T16:38:47+00:00

commit 83589b30f1e1dc9898986293c9336b8ce1705dec upstream.

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.

Revert "mwifiex: cancel cmd timer and free curr_cmd in shutdown process

mwifiex: cancel cmd timer and free curr_cmd in shutdown process

2013-04-05T17:04:19+00:00

commit 084c7189acb3f969c855536166042e27f5dd703f upstream.

curr_cmd points to the command that is in processing or waiting
for its command response from firmware. If the function shutdown
happens to occur at this time we should cancel the cmd timer and
put the command back to free queue.

b43: N-PHY: use more bits for offset in RSSI calibration

2013-04-05T17:04:17+00:00

commit 2e1253d640eb7f8707d2591c93097c1e9f9c71d5 upstream.

When calculating "offset" for final RSSI calibration we're using numbers
bigger than s8 can hold. We have for example:
offset[j] = 232 - poll_results[j];
formula. If poll_results[j] is small enough (it usually is) we treat
number's bit as a sign bit. For example 232 - 1 becomes:
0xE8 - 0x1 = 0xE7, which is not 231 but -25.

This code was introduced in e0c9a0219a8f542e3946fe972a68aacf8c3f906c
and caused stability regression on some cards, for ex. BCM4322.

b43: A fix for DMA transmission sequence errors

2013-04-05T17:04:17+00:00

commit b251412db99ccd4495ce372fec7daee27bf06923 upstream.

Intermittently, b43 will report "Out of order TX status report on DMA ring".
When this happens, the driver must be reset before communication can resume.
The cause of the problem is believed to be an error in the closed-source
firmware; however, all versions of the firmware are affected.

This change uses the observation that the expected status is always 2 less
than the observed value, and supplies a fake status report to skip one
header/data pair.

Not all devices suffer from this problem, but it can occur several times
per second under heavy load. As each occurence kills the unmodified driver,
this patch makes if possible for the affected devices to function. The patch
logs only the first instance of the reset operation to prevent spamming
the logs.
