I'm quite sure it'll break my BCM43224. It's not chip-specific,
probably some status bit specific.

My BCM43324 was broken by bmca up until "[PATCH] bcma: don't fail for
bad SPROM CRC." Even with that patch, I still get "bmca: Failed to get
SPROM: -71" in the dmesg log. Is that error harmless?

It's harmless for brcmsmac, which doesn't use SPROM struct of bcma bus
driver. This bug should be fixed and brcmsmac should be improved in
many contexts: using SPROM, standard bcma module functions, dropping
other cores initializing. For now you can live with this.

My worry is that, were the brcmsmac driver to be improved in the ways you
suggest, the BCM43224 in my MBP would start failing again.

The CRC check appears to pass without issue when using the 0x800
offset on my device.

The quick fix would be probably to implement in bcma two tries of
reading SPROM. One for 0x800 second for 0x830 (base address). The real
fix is to grab the real condition from specs/brcmsmac and implement it
in bcma.

Real fix: any leads on where the real condition can be found? I looked through
the brcmsmac driver, but it wasn't obvious to me.

Quick fix: something like this?

I think it is more complicated than the above. On my 43224, I get the message "No SPROM available", which arises because bcma_sprom_get() is returning -ENOENT. The reason is that the value tested in "if (!(sromctrl & BCMA_CC_SROM_CONTROL_PRESENT))" is zero. The contents of sromctl are 0x12, and the mask is 1.

I am still investigating. When I comment out the test of sromctl, then the driver seems to find the SPROM at offset 0x830, but neither b43 nor brcmsmac works.
