rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Remove variable self-assignment in rf.c

2018-06-05T09:46:11Z

commit fb239c1209bb0f0b4830cc72507cc2f2d63fadbd upstream. In _rtl92c_get_txpower_writeval_by_regulatory() the variable writeVal is assigned to itself in an if ... else statement, apparently only to document that the branch condition is handled and that a previously read value should be returned unmodified. The self-assignment causes clang to raise the following warning: drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/rf.c:304:13: error: explicitly assigning value of variable of type 'u32' (aka 'unsigned int') to itself [-Werror,-Wself-assign] writeVal = writeVal; Delete the branch with the self-assignment.

rtlwifi: cleanup 8723be ant_sel definition

2018-05-09T07:53:06Z

commit af8a41cccf8f469165c6debc8fe07c5fd2ca501a upstream. Some HP laptops have only a single wifi antenna. This would not be a problem except that they were shipped with an incorrectly encoded EFUSE. It should have been possible to open the computer and transfer the antenna connection to the other terminal except that such action might void the warranty, and moving the antenna broke the Windows driver. The fix was to add a module option that would override the EFUSE encoding. That was done with commit c18d8f509571 ("rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Add antenna select module parameter"). There was still a problem with Bluetooth coexistence, which was addressed with commit baa170229095 ("rtlwifi: btcoexist: Implement antenna selection"). There were still problems, thus there were commit 0ff78adeef11 ("rtlwifi: rtl8723be: fix ant_sel code") and commit 6d6226928369 ("rtlwifi: btcoexist: Fix antenna selection code"). Despite all these attempts at fixing the problem, the code is not yet right. A proper fix is important as there are now instances of laptops having RTL8723DE chips with the same problem. The module parameter ant_sel is used to control antenna number and path. At present enum ANT_{X2,X1} is used to define the antenna number, but this choice is not intuitive, thus change to a new enum ANT_{MAIN,AUX} to make it more readable. This change showed examples where incorrect values were used. It was also possible to remove a workaround in halbtcoutsrc.c. The experimental results with single antenna connected to specific path are now as follows: ant_sel ANT_MAIN(#1) ANT_AUX(#2) 0 -8 -62 1 -62 -10 2 -6 -60 Signed-off-by: Ping-Ke Shih Fixes: c18d8f509571 ("rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Add antenna select module parameter") Fixes: baa170229095 ("rtlwifi: btcoexist: Implement antenna selection") Fixes: 0ff78adeef11 ("rtlwifi: rtl8723be: fix ant_sel code") Fixes: 6d6226928369 ("rtlwifi: btcoexist: Fix antenna selection code") Cc: Stable # 4.7+ Reviewed-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

rtl8187: Fix NULL pointer dereference in priv->conf_mutex

2018-04-19T06:54:12Z

commit 7972326a26b5bf8dc2adac575c4e03ee7e9d193a upstream. This can be reproduced by bind/unbind the driver multiple times in AM3517 board. Analysis revealed that rtl8187_start() was invoked before probe finishes(ie. before the mutex is initialized).

rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Fix loss of signal

2018-02-25T07:47:15Z

In commit c713fb071edc ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection lost problem correctly") a problem in rtl8821ae that caused loss of signal was fixed. That same problem has now been reported for rtl8723be. Accordingly, the ASPM L1 latency has been increased from 0 to 7 to fix the instability.

rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection lost problem correctly

2018-02-07T13:38:37Z

There has been a coding error in rtl8821ae since it was first introduced, namely that an 8-bit register was read using a 16-bit read in _rtl8821ae_dbi_read(). This error was fixed with commit 40b368af4b75 ("rtlwifi: Fix alignment issues"); however, this change led to instability in the connection. To restore stability, this change was reverted in commit b8b8b16352cd ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection lost problem"). Unfortunately, the unaligned access causes machine checks in ARM architecture, and we were finally forced to find the actual cause of the problem on x86 platforms. Following a suggestion from Pkshih , it was found that increasing the ASPM L1 latency from 0 to 7 fixed the instability. This parameter was varied to see if a smaller value would work; however, it appears that 7 is the safest value. A new symbol is defined for this quantity, thus it can be easily changed if necessary.
