In internal test, we found some problems containing MAC and PCI related
things, so correct them by this patchset.
v2: replace indirect access MIO with Linux standard API to access
PCI configuration space.

From: Chia-Yuan Li <[email protected]>
It is found that 8852ce loses some beacon after
enabling deep ps mode. We set TBTT shift to wake up
firmware early to open RF/BB for receiving beacon in time.

2.25.1
From: Chin-Yen Lee <[email protected]>
When starting to send heavy traffic in low power mode,
driver will call multiple tx wake notify to wake firmware
within a short time. In this situation, firmware may miss
power mode change request from driver and leads to status
error. So we change driver to call power_mode_change at most
three times to make sure firmware could get the request.

We get here via this path:
rtw89_pci_probe
rtw89_pci_l1ss_cfg
pci_read_config_dword(pdev, l1ss_cap_ptr + PCI_L1SS_CTL1, &l1ss_ctrl);
if (l1ss_ctrl & PCI_L1SS_CTL1_L1SS_MASK)
rtw89_pci_l1ss_set(rtwdev, true);
This looks like it might be a problem because L1SS configuration is
owned by the PCI core, not by the device driver. The PCI core
provides sysfs user interfaces that can enable and disable L1SS at
run-time without notification to the driver (see [1]).
The user may enable or disable L1SS using those sysfs interfaces, and
this code in the rtw89 driver will not be called.
Bjorn
P.S. rtw89_pci_l1ss_set() is only called from rtw89_pci_l1ss_cfg()
which always supplies "enable == true", so it looks like that
parameter is not needed.

The chunk of code is to configure L1SS of chip specific setting along with
standard PCI capability, and normally the setting and capability are consistent.
An exception is that PCI capability is enabled but chip specific setting is
disabled, when we want to use module parameter to disable chip specific
setting experimentally to resolve interoperability problem on some platforms.
We don't suggest the use case that L1SS of PCI capability is disabled but
chip specific setting is enabled, because hardware could get abnormal
occasionally. Also, it could also get unexpected behavior suddenly if we change
L1SS dynamically.
Summary:
PCI capability chip specific setting comment
-------------- --------------------- -------
enabled enabled ok, currently support
disabled disabled ok, currently support
enabled disabled experimental case via module parameter
disabled enabled don't suggest
With above reasons, if users meet problem or unexpected result after changing
L1SS, we may tell them this hardware can't dynamically configure L1SS via
sysfs interfaces.

This is a significant usability problem. An interoperability problem
means the device doesn't work correctly for some users, and there's no
obvious reason *why* it doesn't work, so they don't know how to fix
it.
Module parameters are not a solution because users don't know when
they are needed or how to use them. This leads to situations like
[1,2,3], where users waste a lot of time flailing around to get the
device to work, and the eventual "solution" is to replace it with
something else:
After replacing the Realtek card with Intel AX200 I do not have the

I think the fact that you need chip-specific code here is a hardware
defect in the rtw89 device. The whole point of L1SS being in the PCIe
spec is so generic software can configure it without having to know
chip-specific details.

How can we make this better, so the device works and users never have
to specify those module parameters?
Would it help if we had a way to make a quirk that meant "never enable
L1SS for this device"? Obviously that's not ideal because we want the
power savings of L1SS, but the power saving is only worthwhile if the
device always *works*.
Or maybe we could have a quirk that means "the PCI core will never
change the L1SS configuration for this device"? Would that help?

A cause of interoperability problem could be due to PCI bridge side
configured by BIOS. We have fixed this kind of problem many times before.
Maybe, this device has less tolerance to handle PCI signals. The module
parameter is an alternative way to help users to resolve the problem in
their platforms. If people buy a computer with this device built-in, he
will meet this problem in low probability because ODM will verify this
ahead. If people buy this device themselves to install to their platforms,
it is hard to guarantee it can work well, because cause of interoperability
could be bride side as mentioned in beginning.

Normally, users don't need to specify this module parameter. If it's really
needed, we can add a quirk along with DMI vendor and product name to configure
automatically. But, indeed we still need a user to try that module parameter
can work on a certain platform.

In fact, we only don't suggest to change L1SS "dynamically". Initially,
enable or disable L1SS is usable, and driver will set chip-specific
setting along with standard PCI configuration.
So, I think it would be okay to have a quirk that "never change L1SS dynamically".
But, I'm not sure if switching L1SS is a common option for average users?
I mean L1SS normally is configured by developers only, so restrictions aren't
always good to them, because they should know what they are doing.

It would be better if your email client allows you to respond without
the unnecessary repetition of the From/To/Cc/Subject lines above. For
example, this would be sufficient:

The BIOS or PCI core should configure both the bridge and the endpoint
so they are consistent. If the driver needs to do something, e.g.,
via a module parameter, that means there's a BIOS or PCI core defect
that should be fixed. It should be fixed in the PCI core, not in the
individual driver.

The fact that the parameter exists means *some* users do need it. And
that is a huge problem because those users don't *know* they need it;
they just see a device that doesn't work, and they don't know why.
All they can do is try random combinations of parameters to see what
seems to work. This just doesn't scale for users that deal with a
dozen different devices in their system. We can't expect them to
fiddle with module parameters for each.

If your device is implemented correctly per the PCIe spec, there
should be no problem with changing L1SS configuration dynamically. Of
course if there are PCI core defects that mean it doesn't work, those
can and should be fixed.

There are sysfs options for changing L1SS configuration, and it's
reasonable for users to change that based on changing workload. I
expect tools like powertop to take advantage of that eventually.
