Please have a look at Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst. In very brief: - you should use imperative mood to describe your changes - this is fixing a real issue, I believe this is worth a more complete commit message, including a log of the failure this is solving. I am also inclined to think that this change should be backported and it likely would need a Fixes: tag. > --- > drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.c | 1 + > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.c b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.c > index d99127dc466e..a25e8bb8daec 100644 > --- a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.c > +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.c > @@ -570,6 +570,7 @@ static int _mwifiex_fw_dpc(const struct firmware *firmware, void *context) > goto err_dnld_fw; > > mwifiex_dbg(adapter, MSG, "WLAN FW is active\n"); > + mdelay(100); from my understanding there is already a function polling for the firmware to be active, e.g. mwifiex_check_fw_status(). Maybe is that function that needs to be fixed instead of adding an additional delay here? Francesco
