This of course have to be checked in some hardware documentation for
the correct condition. We already have some workaround (right above
the newly added code) for boards with boardrev>= 0x1250. So my guess
is the code I added applies to some other cards. The board this patch
is supposed to fix is:
board vendor: 14e4
board type: 608
board revision: 1109
board flags: 402201
board flags2: 884
firmware revision: 262032c

So whatever condition we will need it'll likely need to cover above
case (maybe boardrev == 0x1109?).


Well, there is something fishy going on. The brcmsmac code looks like:

if (bfl&  BFL_FEM&&  chip == 4313) {
         if (!(boardrev>= 0x1250&&  bfl&  BFL_FEM_BT))
                 ai_epa_4313war(wlc_hw->sih);
}

Ohh, I didn't notice this negation at the beginning... Now meaning of
my functions makes more sense. The old code it only for boardrev<
0x1250 (plus other conditions). This new function has "p250" in its
name, that may mean it's for boardrev>= 0x1250.


However the boardflags above (0x402201) only has BFL_FEM_BT set so this code
is never called. I have to ask if !BFL_FEM&&  BFL_FEM_BT is a valid
combination.

Yeah, that's fishy. Maybe that new function ai_btcombo_p250_4313_war
should be called if !BFL_FEM&&  BFL_FEM_BT? But it sounds weird.

I know where the function should be called according our driver and guess what:

  if (bfl&  BFL_FEM&&  chip == 4313) {
  	if (!(boardrev>= 0x1250 && bfl&  BFL_FEM_BT))
          	ai_epa_4313war(wlc_hw->sih);
+	else
+		ai_btcombo_p250_4313_war(wlc_hw->sih);
  }

I hate this inverse logic as it is so easy to overlook ;-)

Arend
