b43: support bcma core reset on AC-PHY hardware

2015-01-29T08:54:43+00:00

AC-PHY hardware includes new control 0x3 bits that need to be set to the 0x1 by default. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

b43: Fix locking FIXME in beacon update top half

2015-01-29T08:28:05+00:00

b43 has a FIXME about locking in the mac80211 set-beacon-int callback for a long time. As it turns out there actually is a tiny race window that could result in a use-after-free bug of the 'current_beacon' memory. Nobody ever reported this, so it probably never happened. Fix this by adding a spin lock that protects the current_beacon access. We must not be in atomic context while accessing hardware (due to SDIO), so the beacon update bottom half has to clone the skb and release the lock before writing it to hardware. Let's all hope that this stops the troll who is trying to submit incorrect fixes for this issue repeatedly. And let's hope that I'm not a troll, too, who just hides even more evil code in an even more complex attempt to fix the issue.

b43: tell the ucode the mac capabilities

b43: HT-PHY: Implement band switching

2014-09-15T19:00:50+00:00

It works pretty much the same way as in N-PHY. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: implement PPR (Power Per Rate) management/API

2014-08-25T20:00:43+00:00

Broadcom hardware supports auto-adjustment of TX power depending on the currently used rate. So far all calculations were handled without any helpers (API) using big arrays and magic offsets. It seems Broadcom recently decided to clean this up by developing PPR. Their wlc_ppr.h can be found in open parts of the SDK. As we plan to implement support for rate-based TX power it makes sense to also implement our version of PPR as well. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: flush some writes on Broadcom MIPS SoCs

2014-08-25T20:00:42+00:00

Access to PHY and radio registers is indirect on Broadcom hardware and it seems that addressing on some MIPS SoCs may require flushing. So far this problem was noticed on 0x4716 SoC only (marketing names: BCM4717, BCM4718). Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: remove list of IEEE 802.11 devices

This is the first step to remove leftover code. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
