Do you have such a board? With the little documentation I can get my hands
on here I wonder whether the clock needs to be enabled before the device is
powered. If you have the hardware I would like to check some registers in
the device.


Yes. Trats2 (exynos4412-based) has such a setup. The BCM4334 works fine
with this patch and one more that enables the WL_REG_EN pin when
brcmfmac is probed.

Ok. So this is exactly the thing I was wondering about. So it makes me
curious how the WL_REG_EN patch looks like. Can you provide that?


Here[0] is a link to the patch in its current state. Obviously, it's not
ready at all for mainlining :-)

Thanks. Indeed doing it in module_init of brcmfmac is not going to fly. Actually the MMC stack has a mechanism to power the SDIO device. This can be configured through the device tree [1]. I just checked and it actually includes specifying the external clock as well.

Arend
