Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] mwifiex: firmware download enhancements

From: chunfan chen <[email protected]>

Same chip is being used by WLAN as well as bluetooth
drivers. Each driver needs to check during initialisation
if firmware is already active or it needs to be freshly
downloaded. If one driver has started downloading the
firmware, other finds the winner flag as false.

mwifiex_check_fw_status() checks firmware status and also
check if WLAN is the winner for firmware downloading.

Once we detect that other interface is downloading
the firmware, we call this routine again with max
poll count to wait until firmware is ready.

This patch splits the routine to avoid checking
winner status unnecessarily multiple times and ensures
that correct messages are displayed to user.

Firmware status poll count is also increased to 150.

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] mwifiex: fix IBSS data path issue.

From: chunfan chen <[email protected]>

The port_open flag is not applicable for IBSS mode. IBSS data
path was broken when port_open flag was introduced.
This patch fixes the problem by correcting the checks.

Fixes: 5c8946330abfa4c ("mwifiex: enable traffic only when port is open")

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mwifiex: add debugfs file to read chip information

From: Xinming Hu <[email protected]>

This patch add 'verext' debugfs item, which can be used to
get detailed chip specific information from our firmware.

Examples:
echo "1" > /sys/kernel/debug/mwifiex/mlan0/verext
cat /sys/kernel/debug/mwifiex/mlan0/verext
