b43: Fix firmware loading when driver is built into the kernel 2013-01-17T16:46:37+00:00 Larry Finger Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net 2012-12-20T21:55:01+00:00 0039b1cfcd30a3f001ea2dfd2eaef40a249c999b commit 5e20a4b53094651d80f856ff55a916b999dbb57a upstream. Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the probe routine to fail because the request to user space would time out. The original fix for b43 (commit 6b6fa58) moved the firmware load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous firmware loading. This method is OK when b43 is built as a module; however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel. This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to hold the work queue until that file is available. This driver reads several firmware files - the remainder can be read synchronously. On some test systems, the async read fails; however, a following synch read works, thus the async failure falls through to the sync try.

commit 5e20a4b53094651d80f856ff55a916b999dbb57a upstream.

Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the
probe routine to fail because the request to user space would time
out. The original fix for b43 (commit 6b6fa58) moved the firmware
load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous
firmware loading. This method is OK when b43 is built as a module;
however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel.

This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file
using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to
hold the work queue until that file is available. This driver
reads several firmware files - the remainder can be read synchronously.
On some test systems, the async read fails; however, a following synch
read works, thus the async failure falls through to the sync try.

carl9170: fix -EINVAL bailout during init with !CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH 2013-01-17T16:45:55+00:00 Christian Lamparter chunkeey@googlemail.com 2012-12-22T03:35:24+00:00 f3aa52b005647292321379c54cb1b9cb1fcf8130 commit 6c653f66772c39c5e25db715bbd4730596fccd9e upstream. Sean reported that as of 3.7, his AR9170 device no longer works because the driver fails during initialization. He noted this is due to: "In carl9170/fw.c, ar->hw->wiphy is tagged with NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT support if the firmware has Content after Beacon Queuing. This is both in interface_modes and the only iface_combinations entry. If CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not set, ieee80211_register_hw removes NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT from interface_modes, but not iface_combinations. wiphy_register then checks to see if every interface type in every interface combination is in interface_modes. NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT was removed, so you get a WARN_ON warning and it returns -EINVAL, giving up." Unfortunately, the iface_combination (types) feature bitmap in ieee80211_iface_limit is part of a const member in the ieee80211_iface_combination struct. Hence, the MESH_POINT feature flag can't be masked by wiphy_register in the same way as interface_modes in ieee80211_register_hw.
