RE: wl18xx: Error when using the latest firmware

Hi,
You are using a very old driver if it throws an error of FW 8.9.*.*.58.
There were two major driver updates since then, one for the WPA3 support and the other for a major issue we had with a PN drift.
Bottom line, to take the latest FW, you would also need to implement all the driver patches.
You can find those under https://git.ti.com/cgit/wilink8-wlan/build-utilites/log/?h=r8.9

Subject: wl18xx: Error when using the latest firmware

Hi,

I am running kernel 6.6.18 on an imx6dl board with the WL18XX Wifi chip.

I tried using the most recent firmware (8.9.1.0.2) from the master branch of:

https://git.ti.com/cgit/wilink8-wlan/wl18xx_fw/log/

but the following error is seen:

wlcore: ERROR Your WiFi FW version (8.9.1.0.2) is invalid.
Please use at least FW 8.9.*.*.58.

Then I used FW 8.9.0.0.90 and this version is accepted.

Should drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/boot.c b be changed to allow running the latest 8.9.1.0.2? What is the recommended wl18xx firmware version when running a mainline kernel?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam
