[PATCH] brcmfmac: fix CLM load error for legacy chips when user helper is enabled

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For legacy chips w/o CLM blob files, kernel with user helper function
enables returns -EAGAIN when we request_firmware() for blob file:
"request_firmware() -> _request_firmware() -> fw_load_from_user_helper()
-> _request_firmware_load() -> retval=-EAGAIN"
We should do one more retry and continue brcmf_c_process_clm_blob if
getting -EAGAIN from request_firmware function.
