Yes, SDIO RS9116 on next-20221104 and 5.10.153 .
Very good, thanks.
What prompts this question ?
I get too much "fixes" which have been nowhere near real hardware and
can break the driver instead of fixing anything, especially syzbot
patches have been notorious. So I have become cautious.
Ah, this is a real problem right here.
wpa-supplicant 2.9 from OE dunfell 3.1 works.
wpa-supplicant 2.10 from OE kirkstone 4.0 fails.
That's how I ran into this initially. My subsequent tests were with
debian wpa-supplicant 2.9 and 2.10 packages, since that was easier, they
(2.10 does, 2.9 does not) trigger the problem all the same.
I'm afraid this RSI driver is so poorly maintained and has so many bugs,
that, there is little that can make it worse. The dealing I had with RSI
has been ... long ... and very depressing. I tried to get documentation
or anything which would help us fix the problems we have with this RSI
driver ourselves, but RSI refused it all and suggested we instead use
their downstream driver (I won't go into the quality of that). It seems
RSI has little interest in maintaining the upstream driver, pity.
I've been tempted to flag this driver as BROKEN for a while, to prevent
others from suffering with it. Until I send such a patch, you can expect
real fixes coming from my end at least.
