With GCC 13.1 and W=1 brcmsmac has warnings like this:

./include/trace/stages/stage5_get_offsets.h:23:31: warning: function 'trace_event_get_offsets_brcms_dbg' might be a candidate for 'gnu_printf' format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]

Add a workaround which disables -Wsuggest-attribute=format in
brcms_trace_brcmsmac_msg.h. I see similar workarounds in other drivers as well.

Compile tested only.

<title>wifi: brcmfmac: Detect corner error case earlier with log</title>

In brcmf_chip_recognition(), the return value from an MMIO read is
interpreted as various fields without checking if it failed, which is
harmless today, as the interpreted fields are checked for validity a
few lines below.  However, in corner cases (on my MacbookPro 14,1,
sometimes after waking from sleep or soft reboot), when this happens,
it causes the logging to be misleading, because the message indicates
an unsupported chip type ("brcmfmac: brcmf_chip_recognition: chip
backplane type 15 is not supported").  This patch detects this case
slightly earlier and logs an appropriate message, with the same return
result as is the case today.

There are a number of upcoming things in both the stack and
drivers that would otherwise conflict, so merge wireless to
wireless-next to be able to avoid those conflicts.

pktq_empty was added in commit 5b435de0d786 ("net: wireless: add brcm80211

clang warns about an unpacked structure inside of a packed one:

drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/b43.h:654:4: error: field data within 'struct b43_iv' is less aligned than 'union (unnamed union at /home/arnd/arm-soc/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/b43.h:651:2)' and is usually due to 'struct b43_iv' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]

The problem here is that the anonymous union has the default alignment
from its members, apparently because the original author mixed up the
placement of the __packed attribute by placing it next to the struct
member rather than the union definition. As the struct itself is
also marked as __packed, there is no need to mark its members, so just
move the annotation to the inner type instead.

As Michael noted, the same problem is present in b43legacy, so
change both at the same time.

<title>wifi: brcmfmac: Check for probe() id argument being NULL</title>

<id>60fc756fc8e6954a5618eecac73b255d651602e4</id>
<content type='text'>
The probe() id argument may be NULL in 2 scenarios:

1. brcmf_pcie_pm_leave_D3() calling brcmf_pcie_probe() to reprobe
   the device.

2. If a user tries to manually bind the driver from sysfs then the sdio /
   pcie / usb probe() function gets called with NULL as id argument.

1. Is being hit by users causing the following oops on resume and causing
wifi to stop working:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018
&lt;snip&gt;
Hardware name: Dell Inc. XPS 13 9350/0PWNCR, BIDS 1.13.0 02/10/2020
Workgueue: events_unbound async_run_entry_fn

 dpm_run_callback+0x47/0x150
 device_resume+0xa2/0x1f0
 async_resume+0x1d/0x30
&lt;snip&gt;

Fix this by checking for id being NULL.

In the PCI and USB cases try a manual lookup of the id so that manually
binding the driver through sysfs and more importantly brcmf_pcie_probe()
on resume will work.

For the SDIO case there is no helper to do a manual sdio_device_id lookup,
so just directly error out on a NULL id there.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
     default value allows for better BIG TCP performances

   - Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

   - RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
     possible

   - Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
     unneeded softirq avoidance

   - Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
     sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

   - Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

   - Optimize again the skb struct layout

   - Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
     subsystems

   - Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

  BPF:

   - Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
     ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
     variable-sized accesses

   - Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
     BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

   - Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

   - Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
     operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
     controlling encap params

   - Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
     kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
     skeleton

   - Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
     BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
     capabilities

   - Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
     BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

   - Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
     in local storage maps

   - Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
     tasks to be stored in BPF maps

   - Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
     shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
     rbtree

   - Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
     convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
     start emitting them

   - Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

   - Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
     flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

  Protocols:

   - IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
     indicates the provenance of the IP address

   - IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition

   - Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
     implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf

   - Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
     resilience to nodes failures

   - SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
     schedulers

   - MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
     will allow for later better LSM interaction

   - xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
     not needed anymore

   - WiFi:
      - reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
      - HW timestamping support
      - support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
      - per-link debugfs for multi-link
      - TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
      - mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
      - enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support

  Netfilter:

   - Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
     instead of being bridged

   - Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
     Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
     hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support

   - The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
     anymore

   - Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
     the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
     iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used

   - Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
     netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
     basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device

  Driver API:

   - Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
     has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time

   - Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
     then bridge to use them

   - Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
     localized NAPI

   - Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
     further code de-duplication and sanitization

   - Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs

   - Add partial YNL specification for devlink

   - Add partial YNL specification for ethtool

   - Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes

   - Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
     of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
     underlying device

   - Add basic LED support for switch/phy

   - Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links

   - Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a
     preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable
     by user space

   - Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
     controllers

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
     default value allows for better BIG TCP performances

   - Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

   - RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
     possible

   - Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
     unneeded softirq avoidance

   - Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
     sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

   - Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

   - Optimize again the skb struct layout

   - Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
     subsystems

   - Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

  BPF:

   - Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
     ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
     variable-sized accesses

   - Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
     BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

   - Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

   - Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
     operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
     controlling encap params

   - Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
     kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
     skeleton

   - Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
     BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
     capabilities

   - Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
     BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

   - Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
     in local storage maps

   - Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
     tasks to be stored in BPF maps

   - Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
     shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
     rbtree

   - Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
     convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
     start emitting them

   - Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

   - Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
     flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
 "We have some new drivers, significant refactoring of existing intel
  platforms, lots of improvements all around, mass conversion to using
  immutable irqchips by drivers that had not been converted individually
  yet and some changes in the core library code.

  Summary:

  New drivers:
   - add a driver for the Loongson GPIO controller
   - add a driver for the fxl6408 I2C GPIO expander
   - add a GPIO module containing code common for Intel Elkhart Lake and
     Merrifield platforms
   - add a driver for the Intel Elkhart Lake platform reusing the code
     from the intel tangier library

  GPIOLIB core:
   - GPIO ACPI improvements
   - simplify gpiochip_add_data_with_keys() fwnode handling
   - cleanup header inclusions (remove unneeded ones, order the rest
     alphabetically)
   - remove duplicate code (reuse krealloc() instead of open-coding it,
     drop a duplicated check in gpiod_find_and_request())
   - reshuffle the code to remove unnecessary forward declarations
   - coding style cleanups and improvements
   - add a helper for accessing device fwnodes
   - small updates in docs

  Driver improvements:
   - convert all remaining GPIO irqchip drivers to using immutable
     irqchips
   - drop unnecessary of_match_ptr() macro expansions
   - shrink the code in gpio-merrifield significantly by reusing the
     code from gpio-tangier + minor tweaks to the driver code
   - remove MODULE_LICENSE() from drivers that can only be built-in
   - add device-tree support to gpio-loongson1
   - use new regmap features in gpio-104-dio-48e and gpio-pcie-idio-24
   - minor tweaks and fixes to gpio-xra1403, gpio-sim, gpio-tegra194,
     gpio-omap, gpio-aspeed, gpio-raspberrypi-exp
   - shrink code in gpio-ich and gpio-pxa
   - Kconfig tweak for gpio-pmic-eic-sprd"

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
 "We have some new drivers, significant refactoring of existing intel
  platforms, lots of improvements all around, mass conversion to using
  immutable irqchips by drivers that had not been converted individually
  yet and some changes in the core library code.

  Summary:

  New drivers:
   - add a driver for the Loongson GPIO controller
   - add a driver for the fxl6408 I2C GPIO expander
   - add a GPIO module containing code common for Intel Elkhart Lake and
     Merrifield platforms
   - add a driver for the Intel Elkhart Lake platform reusing the code
     from the intel tangier library

  GPIOLIB core:
   - GPIO ACPI improvements
   - simplify gpiochip_add_data_with_keys() fwnode handling
   - cleanup header inclusions (remove unneeded ones, order the rest
     alphabetically)
   - remove duplicate code (reuse krealloc() instead of open-coding it,
     drop a duplicated check in gpiod_find_and_request())
   - reshuffle the code to remove unnecessary forward declarations
   - coding style cleanups and improvements
   - add a helper for accessing device fwnodes
   - small updates in docs

  Driver improvements:
   - convert all remaining GPIO irqchip drivers to using immutable
     irqchips
   - drop unnecessary of_match_ptr() macro expansions
   - shrink the code in gpio-merrifield significantly by reusing the
     code from gpio-tangier + minor tweaks to the driver code
   - remove MODULE_LICENSE() from drivers that can only be built-in
   - add device-tree support to gpio-loongson1
   - use new regmap features in gpio-104-dio-48e and gpio-pcie-idio-24
   - minor tweaks and fixes to gpio-xra1403, gpio-sim, gpio-tegra194,
     gpio-omap, gpio-aspeed, gpio-raspberrypi-exp
   - shrink code in gpio-ich and gpio-pxa
   - Kconfig tweak for gpio-pmic-eic-sprd"
