A new driver in the rtlwifi family for the RTL8723BE will soon be added. The bluetooth coexistence code for this device has been split into a separate mini driver as it will be shared with other devices. This commit adds the the headers and sources, and modifies Kconfig and Makefile to configure and build this driver. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

The TX descriptors are consumed by the HW using DMA. Even if in the driver code the TX descriptor writes appears before the HW "dma kick" register writes, the CPU may reorder them. If this happens, the TX may not happen at all becase the "valid" descriptor flag may have not been set yet. This patch adds a write memory barrier to ensures the TX descriptor is written before writing to the HW "dma kick" register.

The TX descriptors are consumed by the HW using DMA. Even if in the driver code the memory write that sets the "valid" flag appears after all other writes, the CPU may reorder writes, causing the HW to consider as valid a not-fully-written yet descriptor. This may cause HW incorrect behaviour. This can happen because (AFAIK) the HW may attempt DMA asynchronously without waiting to be kicked by the following register write. This patch adds a write memory barrier to enforce writes ordering.

Older chipsets are more sensitive to high PHY error counts, and the current noise immunity thresholds were based on tests run at QCA with newer chipsets. This patch brings back the values from the old ANI implementation for old chipsets, and it also disables weak signal detection on an earlier noise immunity level, to improve overall radio stability on affected devices.

The commit 80b4205b "ath9k: Fix OFDM weak signal detection for AP mode" prevented weak signal detection changes from taking effect in AP mode on all chipsets, claiming it is "not allowed". The main reason for not disabling weak signal detection in AP mode is that typically beacon RSSI is used to track whether it is needed to boost range, and this is unavailable in AP mode for obvious reasons. The problem with not disabling weak signal detection is that older chipsets are very sensitive to high PHY error counts. When faced with heavy noise, this can lead to an excessive amount of "Failed to stop TX DMA" errors in the field. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

The suspend callback first sets the suspend flag used in the driver but after that the actual suspend is done, which may fail. Reset the flag upon suspend failure.

Even if the device is changed to 1X1 mode, data is sent with higher MCS rates after association. This patch fixes the problem by updating MCS information field in HT capability when antenna setting changes so that correct information will be advertised in association and probe request.

Deauth is sent to AP when the device is acting as station at shutdown time. Similarly we should stop AP operation also. mwifiex_deauthenticate() takes care closing the connection based on provided interface type. Add a new function to simplify the code.

We skip downloading other commands after FUNC_SHUTDOWN is queued during driver unload. Main thread should be woken up each time after freeing skipped command so that FUNC_SHUTDOWN gets served in case if there are other pending commands before FUNC_SHUTDOWN.

There is a race condition while queuing synchronous command and asynchronous command requested from different threads, because the wait_q_enabled flag is set based on a global variable cmd_wait_q_required. The issue is fixed by removing this global variable and using a unified function with an argument 'sync' passed into the function.

Hardware do not support "real" broadcast on the air. Use method similar to the Directed Multicast Service (DMS) as described in the 10.23.15.2 "DMS procedures" This service copies frame and delivers unicast for each associated peer Do the following: send original frame to 1-st Tx vring, and send copies to all other active vrings. As currently hardware/firmware don't support A-MSDU, convert broadcast frame to unicast instead of wrapping it in A-MSDU Signed-off-by: Vladimir Kondratiev <qca_vkondrat@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
