Code tests show data returned by rtl8xxxu_read8(priv, REG_CR), used to set
macpower, is never 0xea. It is only ever 0x01 (first time after modprobe)
using wpa_supplicant and 0x00 thereafter using wpa_supplicant. These results
occurs with 'Fix for authentication failure' [PATCH 1/2] in place.
Whatever was returned, code tests always showed that at least
rtl8xxxu_init_queue_reserved_page(priv);
is always required. Not called if macpower set to true.
Please see cover letter, [PATCH 0/2], for more information from tests.
