The RTL8723BU has problems connecting to AP after each warm reboot. Sometimes it returns no scan result, and in most cases, it fails the authentication for unknown reason. However, it works totally fine after cold reboot. Compare the value of register SYS_CR and SYS_CLK_MAC_CLK_ENABLE for cold reboot and warm reboot, the registers imply that the MAC is already powered and thus some procedures are skipped during driver initialization. Double checked the vendor driver, it reads the SYS_CR and SYS_CLK_MAC_CLK_ENABLE also but doesn't skip any during initialization based on them. This commit only tells the RTL8723BU to do full initialization without checking MAC status. https://phabricator.endlessm.com/T28000 Signed-off-by: Chris Chiu <chiu@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu.h | 1 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_8723b.c | 1 + drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c | 3 +++ 3 files changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu.h b/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu.h index 22e95b11bfbb..6598c8d786ea 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu.h +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu.h @@ -1425,6 +1425,7 @@ struct rtl8xxxu_fileops { u8 has_s0s1:1; u8 has_tx_report:1; u8 gen2_thermal_meter:1; + u8 needs_full_init:1; u32 adda_1t_init; u32 adda_1t_path_on; u32 adda_2t_path_on_a; diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_8723b.c b/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_8723b.c index 9ba661b3d767..a1c3787abe2e 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_8723b.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_8723b.c @@ -1668,6 +1668,7 @@ struct rtl8xxxu_fileops rtl8723bu_fops = { .has_s0s1 = 1, .has_tx_report = 1, .gen2_thermal_meter = 1, + .needs_full_init = 1, .adda_1t_init = 0x01c00014, .adda_1t_path_on = 0x01c00014, .adda_2t_path_on_a = 0x01c00014, diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c b/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c index e4c1b08c8070..8420cb269b8d 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c @@ -3900,6 +3900,9 @@ static int rtl8xxxu_init_device(struct ieee80211_hw *hw) else macpower = true; + if (fops->needs_full_init) + macpower = false; + ret = fops->power_on(priv); if (ret < 0) { dev_warn(dev, "%s: Failed power on\n", __func__); -- 2.23.0
