Hi Franky and Arend,

today I could get a SDIO Wifi module, which includes a BCM43455.
I was able to get this up and running without any issues with the
brcmfmac
driver and a 4.19 kernel. For me that's enough evidence to say that
the SDIO
driver works.

However, the BCM4359 still does not work.
It times out in brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback(), while enabling func2.

I've inserted tons of debug log outputs in both, the DHD driver and the
brcmfmac driver, and compared them. Differences which I've found so far
are: a) brcmfmac strips out whitespaces from nvram contents and
b) DHD downloads firmware first and brcmfmac downloads nvram first.
I've adapted the DHD driver to behave like brcmfmac in both cases
and it still works.

I've increased the timeout for enabling func2 from 3 seconds to 10
seconds,
but that did not help.

Any ideas left?

When enabling func2 fails it generally means the firmware crashed. I am
not sure if the patch below works to get console information. It might
show up empty or simply fail if firmware did not fill shared memory
info, but it may be worth a try.

I added the patch and additionally added debug output for all error
cases in the two called functions. Here's the output:

[   14.746092] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback: enable F2: err=-62
[   14.767523] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_checkdied: firmware not built with
-assert
[   14.778777] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_checkdied: firmware trap in dongle
[   14.789220] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_readconsole: brcmf_sdio_readconsole:
bus->console_addr == 0!

Do you have an educated guess, what causes the firmware crash, when
being loaded via the brcmfmac driver?

Let's look at the firmware+nvram you are using. Can you do:

$ strings brcmfmac4359-sdio.bin | tail -3

and send the output and the nvram file.

Regards,
Arend
