From 9233299394de1c571e52ab2dbe1995c1fbdc8fda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:40:27 +0530 Subject: ath6kl: Add support to detect fw error through heart beat This patch adds support to detect fw error condition by sending periodic message (heart beat challenge) to firmware. Upon reception of the message, fw would send a response event to driver. When there are no reponses from fw for about 5 cmd driver would trigger the recovery logic assuming that fw has gone into an error state. Capable fw will advertise this capability through ATH6KL_FW_CAPABILITY_HEART_BEAT_POLL bit. This feature is disabled by default, can be enabled through a modparam (heart_beat_poll). This modparam also confiures the polling interval in msecs.
