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)

The same happens with the current mainline.

Aaro,

Please try the attached patch. I'm not really pleased with it and I will continue to determine why the fallback to a 30-bit mask fails, but at least this one works for me.

Subject: [PATCH] b43legacy: Fix DMA breakage from commit commit 65a21b71f948
To: kvalo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Following commit 65a21b71f948 ("powerpc/dma: remove dma_nommu_dma_supported"),
this driver errors with a message that "The machine/kernel does not
support the required 30-bit DMA mask." Indeed, the hardware only allows
31-bit masks. This solution is to change the fallback mask from 30-
to 31-bits for 32-bit PPC systems.
