b43: stop embedding struct file_operations into their objects

2025-01-15T12:14:36+00:00

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

move asm/unaligned.h to linux/unaligned.h

2024-10-02T21:23:23+00:00

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

	sed -i -e "s/asm\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i

wifi: b43: Constify struct lpphy_tx_gain_table_entry

2024-08-07T17:15:56+00:00

'struct lpphy_tx_gain_table_entry' are not modified in this driver.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig:
Before:

wifi: b43: Convert sprintf/snprintf to sysfs_emit

2024-03-21T15:07:53+00:00

Per filesystems/sysfs.rst, show() should only use sysfs_emit()
or sysfs_emit_at() when formatting the value to be returned to user space.

coccinelle complains that there are still a couple of functions that use
snprintf(). Convert them to sysfs_emit().

sprintf() will be converted as weel if they have.

Generally, this patch is generated by

No functional change intended

wifi: b43: silence sparse warnings

2024-02-28T11:37:22+00:00

sparse complains on this code about casts that lose bits
due to the usage of bitwise not, but really we do want
16 bits only, so clarify that by using masks.

wifi: mac80211: simplify non-chanctx drivers

2024-02-08T11:58:32+00:00

There are still surprisingly many non-chanctx drivers, but in
mac80211 that code is a bit awkward. Simplify this by having
those drivers assign 'emulated' ops, so that the mac80211 code
can be more unified between non-chanctx/chanctx drivers. This
cuts the number of places caring about it by about 15, which
are scattered across - now they're fewer and no longer in the
channel context handling.

wifi: b43: Disable QoS for bcm4331

2024-01-10T14:56:17+00:00

bcm4331 seems to not function correctly with QoS support. This may be due
to issues with currently available firmware or potentially a device
specific issue.

When queues that are not of the default "best effort" priority are
selected, traffic appears to not transmit out of the hardware while no
errors are returned. This behavior is present among all the other priority
queues: video, voice, and background. While this can be worked around by
setting a kernel parameter, the default behavior is problematic for most
users and may be difficult to debug. This patch offers a working out-of-box
experience for bcm4331 users.

Log of the issue (using ssh low-priority traffic as an example):
