Hi Hante,
I'm having an issue with my BCM43340 SDIO WiFi card on the Asus X205TA
laptop and the latest firmware taken from the linux-firmware git repo
with the correct nvram file in place. I bisected the issue back to
commit 2b76acd "brcmfmac: Rework p2p attach, use single method for p2p
dev creation." (bad commit).
The problem is not always reproducible. I'd say it happens once every
ten reboots. What I see is that the kernel panics at boot immediately
after I see:
brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_drivestrengthinit: No SDIO Drive strength init
done for chip 43340 rev 2 pmurev 20
brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_bus_rxctl: resumed on timeout
brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Retreiving cur_etheraddr failed, -52
brcmfmac: brcmf_bus_start: failed: -52
brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback: dongle is not responding
brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_dpc: failed backplane access over SDIO, halting operation
brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_dpc: failed backplane access over SDIO, halting operation
With a messy trace similar to
https://gist.github.com/carlocaione/06d17124a2589f3d4108
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks

Hi Carlo,
This smells like a firmware crash. Upon the brcmf_bus_start failure we
bail out on the probe. I suspect in the error path there is an issue
introduced (or exposed) by the mentioned patch. Did not look further
into it as the family is giving me the angry look during the holidays ;-)
Regards,
Arend

Hi Arend,
Thank you for the quick reply, this can definitely wait ;-)
Happy holidays and happy new year!
