ssb: pick PCMCIA host code support from b43 driver

2015-10-28T19:04:04+00:00

ssb bus can be found on various "host" devices like PCI/PCMCIA/SDIO. Every ssb bus contains cores AKA devices. The main idea is to have ssb driver scan/initialize bus and register ready-to-use cores. This way ssb drivers can operate on a single core mostly ignoring underlaying details. For some reason PCMCIA support was split between ssb and b43. We got PCMCIA host device probing in b43, then bus scanning in ssb and then wireless core probing back in b43. The truth is it's very unlikely we will ever see PCMCIA ssb device with no 802.11 core but I still don't see any advantage of the current architecture. With proposed change we get the same functionality with a simpler architecture, less Kconfig symbols, one killed EXPORT and hopefully cleaner b43. Since b43 supports both: ssb & bcma I prefer to keep ssb specific code in ssb driver. This mostly moves code from b43's pcmcia.c to bridge_pcmcia_80211.c. We already use similar solution with b43_pci_bridge.c. I didn't use "b43" in name of this new file as in theory any driver can operate on wireless core.

debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool()

2015-10-04T10:36:07+00:00

Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument, when all it needs is a boolean pointer. It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *' instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient. Over that bool takes just a byte. That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit updating the API. regmap core was also using debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were updated for that to be bool as well.

mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36+00:00

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.
