libertas: add asynchronous firmware loading capability

2012-04-17T18:57:14+00:00

As described at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/86084
libertas is taking a long time to load because it loads firmware
during module loading.

Add a new API for interface drivers to load their firmware
asynchronously. The same semantics of the firmware table are followed
like before.

Interface drivers will be converted in follow-up patches, then we can
remove the old, synchronous firmware loading function.

libertas: Firmware loading simplifications

2012-04-17T18:57:13+00:00

Remove the ability to pass module parameters with firmware filenames
for USB and SDIO interfaces.

Remove the ability to pass custom "user" filenames to lbs_get_firmware().

Remove the ability to reprogram internal device memory with a different
firmware from the USB driver (we don't know of any users), and simplify
the OLPC firmware loading quirk to simply placing the OLPC firmware
at the top of the list (we don't know of any users other than OLPC).

Move lbs_get_firmware() into its own file.

These simplifications should have no real-life effect but make the
upcoming transition to asynchronous firmware loading considerably less
painful.

libertas: fix changing interface type when interface is down

2011-10-14T18:48:24+00:00

The recent changes to only power the device when the interface up
introduced a bug: changing interface type, legal when the interface
is down, performs device I/O.

Fix this functionality by validating and recording the interface
type when the change is requested, but only applying the change
if/when the interface is brought up.

libertas: disable functionality when interface is down

2011-08-09T19:52:02+00:00

Modify the driver so that it does not function when the interface is
down, in preparation for runtime power management.

No commands can be run while the interface is down, so the ndo_dev_stop
routine now directly does all necessary work (including asking the device
to disconnect from the network and disabling multicast functionality)
directly.

power_save and power_restore hooks are added meaning that card drivers
can take steps to turn the device off when the interface is down.

The MAC address can now only be changed when all interfaces are down;
the new address will be programmed when an interface gets brought up.
This matches mac80211 behaviour.

Also, some small cleanups/simplifications were made in the surrounding
device handling logic.

libertas: use kernel-doc notation, fix comment style

2011-04-28T18:53:18+00:00

Convert all libertas/ files to use kernel-doc notation instead
of whatever it was (doxygen?).

Add or fix function parameters in several places.

Use expected style for multi-line comments in lots of places.

Remove erroneous /** in multiple places.

libertas: add two-stage firmware request helper

2010-08-16T19:26:43+00:00

SDIO, GSPI, and CS all use 2-stage firmware and the loading
process and logic should be the same.  Allow module parameters
to override the automatic firmware choice, otherwise just walk
the bus driver's firmware table and pick out the first firmware
pair that exists for the given model.

Some special care is taken to allow overriding of just the helper
or the main firmware, but let the other of the pair be chosen
automatically.

Libertas: Added 11d support using cfg80211

2010-06-23T19:14:00+00:00

Added 11d support for libertas driver using cfg80211. This is based on Holger
Shurig's initial work to add cfg80211 support libertas.
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/64286/)

Please let us know, if there are any improvements comments.

Code is added to send 11d enable command to firmware while
initialisation and pass 11d specific information to firmware
when notifier handler is called by cfg80211.

libertas: Added callback functions to support SDIO suspend/resume.

2010-06-02T20:13:06+00:00

In suspend() host sleep is activated using already configured
host sleep parameters through wol command, and in resume() host
sleep is cancelled. Earlier priv->fw_ready flag used to reset and
set in suspend and resume handler respectively. Since after suspend
only host goes into sleep state and firmware is always ready, those
changes in flag state are removed.
