This series contains some patches needed to get brcmsmac working on
SoCs like the BCM4718.
The last part which adds core rev 17 (used in the BCM4718) to the list
of supported cores is missing, because we do not have a firmware
supporting this core yet, but I extended the b43 fwcutter to generate
a firmware which brcmsmac accepts. With this firmware my BCM4718
works. I would appreciate an official firmware release from Broadcom
adding support for this core.
The final patch adding support for the BCM43224 is missing because
the PCIe host controller on the BCM4718 still causes problems and I
have to add some more read after writes into the code, for now it uses
an ugly hack and sometimes the problems still occur.
The wifi is not stable on the BCM4718, I had no problems connecting to
my ath9k driven access point but I have problems connecting to my
BCM47186 based AP running the vendor firmware with the Broadcom
proprietary driver.
I get 12MBit/s max with the BCM4718 connected to ath9k on the 2.4 GHz
band and 35 MBit/s max with the BCM43224 on the 5Ghz band connected to
a Broadcom based AP running the proprietary driver. This seams to be
CPU bounced as I have over 50% sirq in both cases.
brcmsmac starts on the BCM47186 (id: 0x5357), but it does not tx or rx
any traffic.
One patch extends the xmtfifo_sz array for more core revs, I just toke
the values from the other phy-n cores and hope this is correct.
These patches are depending on: "[PATCH 0/8] bcma misc updates" and
based on wireless-testing.
