Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] qtnfmac: qsr10g pcie backend updates

Hello Kalle and all,

Here is a patch set with various fixes and enhacements for qsr10g
PCIe backend driver. The major changes include the following two
items:
- make rmmod/insmod work properly for qtnfmac_pcie driver
- provide configuration knobs to control NSM (networked standby mode)

NSM (networked standby mode) is not related to WiFi standard. This is
a term that has been introduced by European Commission in regulation
No. 1275/2008. Simplifying things a bit, that regulation specifies
ecodesing requirements for various operating modes. In that document
‘networked standby’ is defined as a condition in which the equipment
is able to resume a function by way of a remotely initiated trigger
from a network connection.

Regards,
Sergey


Changes v1 -> v2
- do not perform fw check using request_firmware (Arend)
- meld rmmod/insmod fixes into async fw async load patch
-- those fixes are reworked by that patch anyway

Adding a new sysfs file for a wireless driver is usually a bad idea, I
don't even remember when we had a case where it was ok to do that. In
principle we want everything to go through cfg80211 using nl80211.

Also I'm not really fond of the module parameter just to disable a
feature. And there isn't even any justification why it's needed.

In pci probe() function start firmware loading, protocol handshake
and driver core initialization, and not wait for completion.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] qtnfmac: fix releasing Tx/Rx data buffers

Add missing PCI unmap for Tx buffers and release all buffers explicitly.
Managed release using devm_add_action is not suitable for qtnfmac Tx/Rx
data buffers. The reason is in ordering and dependencies: buffers
should be released after transmission is stopped but before PCI
device resources and DMA allocations are released.

Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] qtnfmac: enable networked standby mode on device inactivity

From: Sergei Maksimenko <[email protected]>

Enable support of networked standby mode (NSM) on qsr10g devices.
Networked standby is a power saving mode when the device keeps
all existing network connections and returns to full power mode
on a network activity. When enabled, device enters standby mode
after 15 min of inactivity (no associated stations or no trattic).
This period can be changed by setting sysfs attribute standby_timeout
(0 disables NSM support). A module parameter auto_standby
(defaults to 1) controls enabling NSM support on module loading.
