[PATCH v4] brcmfmac: firmware: Fix firmware loading

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

 



From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx>

The patch that would first try the board-specific firmware
had a bug because the fallback would not be called: the
asynchronous interface is used meaning request_firmware_nowait()
returns 0 immediately.

Harden the firmware loading like this:

- If we cannot build an alt_path (like if no board_type is
  specified) just request the first firmware without any
  suffix, like in the past.

- If the lookup of a board specific firmware fails, we get
  a NULL fw in the async callback, so just try again without
  the alt_path from a dedicated brcm_fw_request_done_alt_path
  callback.

- Drop the unnecessary prototype of brcm_fw_request_done.

Fixes: 5ff013914c62 ("brcmfmac: firmware: Allow per-board firmware binaries")

ChangeLog v3->v4:
- Added brcmf_fw_request_done_alt_path() callback to replace the
  "tried_board_variant" variable, making code cleaner and errors
  handled consistently.
ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Rename state variable to "tried_board_variant".
ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Instead of using a static variable, add a context variable
  "tested_board_variant"
- Collect Arend's review tag.
- Collect Tested-by from Dmitry.
