2013-01-17b43: Fix firmware loading when driver is built into the kernelLarry Finger
commit 5e20a4b53094651d80f856ff55a916b999dbb57a upstream. Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the probe routine to fail because the request to user space would time out. The original fix for b43 (commit 6b6fa58) moved the firmware load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous firmware loading. This method is OK when b43 is built as a module; however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel. This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to hold the work queue until that file is available. This driver reads several firmware files - the remainder can be read synchronously. On some test systems, the async read fails; however, a following synch read works, thus the async failure falls through to the sync try.

2012-03-13b43: Load firmware from a work queue and not from the probe routineLarry Finger
Recent changes in udev are causing problems for drivers that load firmware from the probe routine. As b43 has such a structure, it must be changed. As this driver loads more than 1 firmware file, changing to the asynchronous routine request_firmware_nowait() would be complicated. In this implementation, the probe routine starts a queue that calls the firmware loading routines. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-12-19b43: avoid packet losses in the dma worker code.francesco.gringoli@ing.unibs.it
Following Rafal request, we verified that on "modern" CPUs using one or more workers is equivalent. Here is patch V3 that addresses the packet loss bug in the dma engine using only one worker. ------- This patch addresses a bug in the dma worker code that keeps draining packets even when the hardware queues are full. In such cases packets can not be passed down to the device and are erroneusly dropped by the code. This problem was already discussed here http://www.mail-archive.com/b43-dev@lists.infradead.org/msg01413.html and acknowledged by Michael. Number of hardware queues is now defined in b43.h (B43_QOS_QUEUE_NUM).

This removes the "FWxx" ID strings from the b43 and b43legacy drivers. They were once used to match a specific driver revision to a set of firmware files. However, this is hardly useful today.

2010-12-13b43: rename TMS defines, drop useless condition from core resetRafał Miłecki
As discussed we do not know band width at core reset time and it is not a good idea to reset whole just to change band. So just set unconditionally 20 MHz band width as default during core reset. As for defines PHY clock changed to band width in specs and it makes much more sens to call defines by band width which is self-explainable. Updated specs do not mention 0 value, but comparing to old ones you can notice lineral relation between PHY clock speed and band width. So it makes sense for 0x0 value to be 10 MHz band width.

2010-02-26b43: fall back gracefully to PIO mode after fatal DMA errorsLinus Torvalds
This makes the b43 driver just automatically fall back to PIO mode when DMA doesn't work. The driver already told the user to do it, so rather than have the user reload the module with a new flag, just make the driver do it automatically. We keep the message as an indication that something is wrong, but now just automatically fall back to the hopefully working PIO case.

2010-02-03b43: Fix throughput regressionLarry Finger
Commit c7ab5ef9bcd281135c21b4732c9be779585181be entitled "b43: implement short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling. Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s. Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs.

2009-12-28b43: Allow PIO mode to be selected at module loadLarry Finger
If userencounter the "Fatal DMA Problem" with a BCM43XX device, and still wish to use b43 as the driver, their only option is to rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_B43_FORCE_PIO. This patch removes this option and allows PIO mode to be selected with a load-time parameter for the module. Note that the configuration variable CONFIG_B43_PIO is also removed. Once the DMA problem with the BCM4312 devices is solved, this patch will likely be reverted.
