b43: Add missing MODULE_FIRMWARE()

2017-05-22T09:02:46+00:00

Some firmware entries were forgotten to be added via MODULE_FIRMWARE(), which may result in the non-functional state when the driver is loaded in initrd.

wireless: Set NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST in multiple drivers

2017-03-06T08:21:39+00:00

Set the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST wiphy extended feature wholesale in all mac80211-based drivers that do not set the IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER flags on their interfaces. mac80211 will be processing supplied RSSI values in ieee80211_rx_mgmt_beacon and will detect when the thresholds set by ieee80211_set_cqm_rssi_range_config are crossed. Remaining (few) drivers need code to enable the firmware to monitor the thresholds. This is mostly only compile-tested. Signed-off-by: Andrew Zaborowski Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wireless: deprecate WDS and disable by default

2016-10-27T07:08:43+00:00

The old WDS 4-addr frame support is very limited, e.g. * no encryption is possible on such links * it cannot support rate/HT/VHT negotiation * management APIs are very restricted These make the WDS legacy mode useless in practice. All of these are resolved by the 4-addr AP/client support, so there's also no reason to improve WDS in the future. Therefore, add a Kconfig option to disable legacy WDS. This gives people an "emergency valve" while they migrate to the better-supported 4-addr AP/client option; we plan to remove it (and the associated cfg80211/mac80211 code, which is the ultimate goal) in the future.

b43: Completely remove support for phy_a

2016-06-16T15:23:18+00:00

Per Michael Büsch: "All a-phy code is usused", so remove it all. Cc: Michael Büsch Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_band

2016-04-12T13:56:15+00:00

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

b43: Fix memory leaks in b43_bus_dev_ssb_init and b43_bus_dev_bcma_init

2016-04-07T16:37:44+00:00

The memory allocated by kzalloc in b43_bus_dev_ssb_init and b43_bus_dev_bcma_init is not freed. This patch fixes the bug by adding kfree in b43_ssb_remove, b43_bcma_remove and error handling code of b43_bcma_probe. Thanks Michael for his suggestion.

b43: Remove unnecessary synchronize_irq() before free_irq()

2016-02-25T10:00:14+00:00

Calling synchronize_irq() right before free_irq() is quite useless. On one hand the IRQ can easily fire again before free_irq() is entered, on the other hand free_irq() itself calls synchronize_irq() internally (in a race condition free way), before any state associated with the IRQ is freed. Patch was generated using the following semantic patch: // @@ expression irq; @@ -synchronize_irq(irq); free_irq(irq, ...); // Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

bcma: use _PMU_ in all names of PMU registers

2016-02-06T11:36:11+00:00

PMU (Power Management Unit) seems to be a separated piece of hardware, just accessed using ChipCommon core registers. In recent Broadcom chipsets PMU is not bounded to CC but available as separated core. To make code cleaner & easier to review (for a correct R/W access) use clearer names.
