Hi,
When upgrading from v5.0 -> v5.1 on G4 PowerBook, I noticed WLAN does
not work anymore:
[ 42.004303] b43legacy-phy0: Loading firmware version 0x127, patch level 14 (2005-04-18 02:36:27)

[ 42.184873] b43legacy-phy0 ERROR: The machine/kernel does not support the required 30-bit DMA mask
The same happens with the current mainline.

powerpc/dma: remove dma_nommu_dma_supported
This function is largely identical to the generic version used
everywhere else. Replace it with the generic version.

Aaro,
First of all, you have my sympathy for the laborious bisection on a PowerBook
G4. I have done several myself. Thank you.
I confirm your results.
The ppc code has a maximum DMA size of 31 bits, thus a 32-bit request will fail.
Why the 30-bit fallback fails in b43legacy fails while it works in b43 is a mystery.
Although dma_nommu_dma_supported() may be "largely identical" to
dma_direct_supported(), they obviously differ. Routine dma_nommu_dma_supported()
returns 1 for 32-bit systems, but I do not know what dma_direct_supported() returns.
I am trying to find a patch.
Larry
