[PATCH 0/7] brcmfmac: support devices from multiple vendors

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

 



The bcm43xx family of wifi chipsets found its way to different
groups inside and outside Broadcom. For the fullmac devices this
means that in those difference groups firmware is being developed
and the firmware api is bound to diverge. This series introduces
a design change to accomodate supporting multiple firmware api's.
The vender-specific support can be compiled in brcmfmac or
built as a separate module. Currently the vendor-specific support
does not have any real effect. At the momemt looking into SAE support
which appear to be different for Cypress devices so that might be a
first use-case. Meanwhile wanted to put this series out there and
get feedback on it. Some ideas were taken from iwlwifi which does
similar things for iwlmvm, iwldvm, etc.

The patches apply to the main branch of the wireless-next repository.

Arend van Spriel (7):
  brcmfmac: add function to unbind device to bus layer api
  brcmfmac: add firmware vendor info in driver data
  brcmfmac: add support for vendor-specific firmware api
  brcmfmac: add support for Cypress firmware api
  brcmfmac: add support Broadcom BCA firmware api
  brcmfmac: add vendor name in revinfo debugfs file
  brcmfmac: introduce BRCMFMAC exported symbols namespace
