treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12Z

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

wifi: ath9k: return by of_get_mac_address

2025-01-29T16:56:33Z

When using nvmem, ath9k could potentially be loaded before nvmem, which loads after mtd. This is an issue if DT contains an nvmem mac address. If nvmem is not ready in time for ath9k, -EPROBE_DEFER is returned. Pass it to _probe so that ath9k can properly grab a potentially present MAC address.

ath9k: support DT ieee80211-freq-limit property to limit channels

2021-10-13T05:46:20Z

The common DT property can be used to limit the available channels but ath9k has to manually call wiphy_read_of_freq_limits(). I would have put this into ath9k_of_init(). But it didn't work there. The reason is that in ath9k_of_init() the channels and bands are not yet registered in the wiphy struct. So there isn't any channel to flag as disabled.

ath9k: fetch calibration data via nvmem subsystem

2021-09-16T08:07:41Z

On most embedded ath9k devices (like range extenders, routers, accesspoints, ...) the calibration data is stored in a MTD partitions named "ART", or "caldata"/ "calibration". Since commit 4b361cfa8624 ("mtd: core: add OTP nvmem provider support"): All MTD partitions are all automatically available through the nvmem subsystem. This feature - together with an nvmem cell definition either in the platform data or via device-tree allows drivers to get the data necessary for initializing the WIFI, without having to wait around for the filesystem and userspace to do the extractions.

of: net: pass the dst buffer to of_get_mac_address()

2021-04-13T21:35:02Z

of_get_mac_address() returns a "const void*" pointer to a MAC address. Lately, support to fetch the MAC address by an NVMEM provider was added. But this will only work with platform devices. It will not work with PCI devices (e.g. of an integrated root complex) and esp. not with DSA ports. There is an of_* variant of the nvmem binding which works without devices. The returned data of a nvmem_cell_read() has to be freed after use. On the other hand the return of_get_mac_address() points to some static data without a lifetime. The trick for now, was to allocate a device resource managed buffer which is then returned. This will only work if we have an actual device. Change it, so that the caller of of_get_mac_address() has to supply a buffer where the MAC address is written to. Unfortunately, this will touch all drivers which use the of_get_mac_address(). Usually the code looks like: const char *addr; addr = of_get_mac_address(np); if (!IS_ERR(addr)) ether_addr_copy(ndev->dev_addr, addr); This can then be simply rewritten as: of_get_mac_address(np, ndev->dev_addr); Sometimes is_valid_ether_addr() is used to test the MAC address. of_get_mac_address() already makes sure, it just returns a valid MAC address. Thus we can just test its return code. But we have to be careful if there are still other sources for the MAC address before the of_get_mac_address(). In this case we have to keep the is_valid_ether_addr() call. The following coccinelle patch was used to convert common cases to the new style. Afterwards, I've manually gone over the drivers and fixed the return code variable: either used a new one or if one was already available use that. Mansour Moufid, thanks for that coccinelle patch! @a@ identifier x; expression y, z; @@ - x = of_get_mac_address(y); + x = of_get_mac_address(y, z); <... - ether_addr_copy(z, x); ...> @@ identifier a.x; @@ - if (<+... x ...+>) {} @@ identifier a.x; @@ if (<+... x ...+>) { ... } - else {} @@ identifier a.x; expression e; @@ - if (<+... x ...+>@e) - {} - else + if (!(e)) {...} @@ expression x, y, z; @@ - x = of_get_mac_address(y, z); + of_get_mac_address(y, z); ... when != x All drivers, except drivers/net/ethernet/aeroflex/greth.c, were compile-time tested.
