Hi,
First of all, thanks Arik and Luca for your help.

This one is possibly a FW version issue. I'd give it a go with the
latest FW in TI's git:
https://github.com/TI-OpenLink/ti-utils/tree/master/hw/firmware
More specifically, try the hw/firmware/wl127x-fw-4-sr.bin and the
hw/firmware/wl127x-fw-4-mr.bin (if you're using multirole). Note that
you need to rename them to wl127x-fw-5-sr.bin and wl127x-fw-5-mr.bin,
respectively.
What we have in the linux-firmware git at the moment are versions
6.3.10.0.133 (singlerole) and 6.5.7.0.42 (multirole). The new ones in
TI's github repo are 6.3.10.0.136 and 6.5.7.0.46.
If the new firmwares solve your problem, please let me know and I'll
push them to the linux-firmware git repo.
Just to clarify. I was using the latest firmware files from
linux-firmware and the driver picks the file wl127x-fw-5-sr.bin which is
Rev 6.3.10.0.133. So are you saying that I should install the
wl127x-fw-4-sr.bin from TI's github repo named as wl127x-fw-5-sr.bin and
give it a try?
To use the driver in the Luca's tree I need to do some work to adapt my
platform to the latest kernel version, what I would like to avoid for now.
Is there any set of patches to put the driver in vanilla kernel 3.9 in a
more stable condition?
Well 3.9 is pretty new, so the difference is not that big. A simple
cherry pick of all patches done on <root>/drivers/wireless/ti/ would
do the trick.
Or you could always used compat-wireless, or in it's new name "driver
backports":
https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
I'd really recommend cherry-picking just what is needed. It should be
very few patches.
I was doing that in this precise moment...
And every time you find a new patch that fixes some
real issue you're seeing, let me know and I'll send to stable.
OK.
