This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mwifiex: Ignore BTCOEX events from the 88W8897 firmware to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mwifiex-ignore-btcoex-events-from-the-88w8897-firmwa.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4811c9bfbc02e1c12a5b6aa4b850b592951c105e Author: Jonas Dreßler <verdre@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 3 21:58:27 2021 +0100 mwifiex: Ignore BTCOEX events from the 88W8897 firmware [ Upstream commit 84d94e16efa268e4f2887d858cd67ee37b870f25 ] The firmware of the 88W8897 PCIe+USB card sends those events very unreliably, sometimes bluetooth together with 2.4ghz-wifi is used and no COEX event comes in, and sometimes bluetooth is disabled but the coexistance mode doesn't get disabled. This means we sometimes end up capping the rx/tx window size while bluetooth is not enabled anymore, artifically limiting wifi speeds even though bluetooth is not being used. Since we can't fix the firmware, let's just ignore those events on the 88W8897 device. From some Wireshark capture sessions it seems that the Windows driver also doesn't change the rx/tx window sizes when bluetooth gets enabled or disabled, so this is fairly consistent with the Windows driver.
