Hi Alim,
Please keep the devel mailing list CC'd when asking for help with
"staging-2.6" drivers.  While I'm honored you think I might be able to
solve your problem, it's very likely I can't or someone else could
solve it sooner.

1) There should be at least these 4 patches (and possibly more for 2.6.36):

   http://codereview.chromium.org/6488018
   http://codereview.chromium.org/6474032
   http://codereview.chromium.org/6489022
   http://codereview.chromium.org/6484021

Use "download raw patch set" link provided on each page to pull the patch.

2) I have no idea if/how those patches will apply to 2.6.36 - I expect
they should.  Additional patches might be required that went into
2.6.37. In other words, for 2.6.36, those 4 CLs I posted from Venkat
Rao (Broadcom) might not be enough.

3) You don't mention if and when you've pulled
staging-2.6:drivers/staging/brcm80211/ into your 2.6.36 tree.  Have
you done that already?

Sorry, no idea.
I don't see this with chromium.org 2.6.37 kernels.

Here's the current status for the collection of patches I've "adopted"
from Broadcom.

Issue 6474032: mach-tegra: Adding MMC_KEEP_POWER to support
suspend/resume for wifi SDIO slot
     Not sent upstream yet - need to send different parts to different places.

Issue 6488018: brcmfmac: Fix suspend/resume
    [PATCH] STAGING: brcm80211 v2 keep power on in suspend state
    http://ns.spinics.net/lists/linux-driver-devel/msg13201.html  "V1"
    http://ns.spinics.net/lists/linux-driver-devel/msg13226.html  "V2"

    I don't see an ACK from gregkh for this one yet.

Issue 6484021: brcmfmac: Enabling flow control on uplink data direction
    I've reworked this completely and gregkh already accepted the
reworked patch (remove dhd_doflow) into staging-2.6.

Issue 6489022: sdhci:Fix to restore SDIO card interrupt after resume
    Submitted and reviewed. Two reviewers asked this patch be included
but I haven't received an ACK yet that it's accepted.


> Did is missed any thing while back porting?

My guess is yes. Looks like you only found 2 of the 4 patches that
I've posted on behalf of Venkat Rao.

cheers,
grant
