pull request: rtw89: 8852b: rollback firmware to v0.27.32.1 and introduce new file to new format

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

 



Hi,

In discussion threads [1] [2], the new format of 8852b break user space.
To avoid this, introduce new filename rtw89/rtw8852b_fw-1.bin that old
drivers will not try to load it.

Rollback firmware version of rtw89/rtw8852b_fw.bin to the latest
version of original format (i.e. v0.27.32.1) supported by old driver.

The patches to support new filename in new driver are almost done,
and I will submit them soon. Thanks for the advice in mail and
bug threads.
