Thank you Arend. I updated to master again, v4.15-rc7+, and applied your
patch. All log snips are grabbed with dmesg|grep -E 'mmc0|brcm', as the

Could you follow the reply convention of not top-posting.

You made a type in the kernel command line, ie. "bebug" should be
"debug". Anyway, that is not that important for now.

I can now connect to an AP with the following caveats:

1) It takes about two minutes before the wlan device is available. For a
long while I didn't think it was working because I would check dmesg and
check ifconfig -a before the wlan would be present.

Those two minutes are a direct result of the clm_blob requests. Your
kernel config has user-mode helper fallback selected, which causes 60
seconds timeout waiting for user-space to provide the blob. You could
try and disable it. It is CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK in your
.config.

Yes, it's better without it.


2) After reboot I get this nasty error...
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: console=tty0 selinux=0
video=1280x800 root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 brcmfmac.bebug=0x20000

[    2.645242] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SDIO card

Ok. I suppose you mean a warm reboot. So I suppose the card is not
properly power cycled. If your SDHCI controller driver (is it
sdhci-acpi?) is loaded as a module, you could try to unload it and load
it again. Let me know if that works for you to confirm my guess.

Yes, reboot = warm boot. The driver is sdhci-tegra. I have it built in as
I am booting without an initrd. I have tried modprobe -r brcmfmac before
reboot with no difference. It will take some work to create a ramdisk.


Regarding the patch, brcmfmac tries to load a firmware file twice for a
device which the firmware file does not exist. Is there a know list of
devices which do not need it that we can use to bypass
brcmf_c_process_clm_blob()?

It is unclear to me why the firmware load is done twice. Could it be in
the firmware class itself? In brcmfmac there is only one
request_firmware() call for the clm blob. At least in my version of it.
Do you have something else?

It is your patch [1]. The helper function triggers the while loop.

That actually is not my patch. I just mentioned that one for reference. My patch was at the end of my email message or here [3].

Anyway, Kalle just applied a similar patch [4] which hopefully makes it into v4.15 release.

Arend
