[RFC PATCH] mt7601u: make the driver work again

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a tentative fix for a long-standing issue [1] with MT7601U devices. In
my case, this is what I see in the dmesg when I plug the device in:

This loops continuously. The device never comes up.
Turns out, this issue has been narrowed down to a possible calibration
problem [2]. Stanislaw repeatedly asked if disabling DPD calibration only
(keeping the RXIQ calibration) would fix the problem, but nobody seems to have
paid attention. :) Additionally, he asked for contents of
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/mt7601u/eeprom_param, so here they are:

RF freq offset: 5f
RSSI offset: 0 0
Reference temp: f9
LNA gain: 0
Reg channels: 1-14
Per rate power:
	 raw:05 bw20:05 bw40:05
	 raw:05 bw20:05 bw40:05
	 raw:03 bw20:03 bw40:03
	 raw:03 bw20:03 bw40:03
	 raw:04 bw20:04 bw40:04
	 raw:00 bw20:00 bw40:00
	 raw:00 bw20:00 bw40:00
	 raw:00 bw20:00 bw40:00
	 raw:02 bw20:02 bw40:02
	 raw:00 bw20:00 bw40:00
Per channel power:
	 tx_power  ch1:0c ch2:0c
	 tx_power  ch3:0b ch4:0b
	 tx_power  ch5:0a ch6:0a
	 tx_power  ch7:0a ch8:0a
	 tx_power  ch9:0a ch10:0a
	 tx_power  ch11:0a ch12:0a
	 tx_power  ch13:0a ch14:0a

The attached patch fixes the driver for me. Sending as RFC because this will
probably warrant some kind of quirk to be fixed correctly. Besides, there's an
additional DPD calibration in mt7601u_temp_comp, which I haven't touched, since
it seems a bit more convoluted. The driver works for me regardless (I've sent
this email through one of my MT7601U adapters).
