Hello,

I think the wfx driver is now mature enough to be accepted in the
drivers/net/wireless directory.

The firmware is now a part of the linux-firmware repository since relase
20210315[1]. It had taken a bit of time because I have worked with the legal
department to simplify the redistribution terms of the firmware.

As requested by Kalle[2], I send one file per patch. At the end, all the
patches (or at least the patches 3 to 24) will be squashed (therefore, I
didn't bother to write real commit messages).

[2]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87ft6p2n0h.fsf@codeaurora.org/

Here is a diagram of the global architecture that may help to understand
the code:

Roughly, I have sent the files from the bottom to the top.


v8:
  - Change the way the DT is handled. The user can now specify the name of
    the board (= chip + antenna) he use. It easier for board designers to
    add new entries. I plan to send a PR to linux-firmware to include PDS
    files of the developpement boards belong the firmware (I also plan to
    relocate these file into wfx/ instead of silabs/). (Kalle, Pali)
  - Prefix visible functions and structs with "wfx_". I mostly kept the
    code under 80 columns. (Kalle, Pali, Greg)
  - Remove support for force_ps_timeout for now. (Kalle)
  - Fix licenses of Makefile, Kconfig and hif_api*.h. (Kalle)
  - Do not mix and match endianess in struct hif_ind_startup. (Kalle)
  - Remove magic values. (Kalle)
  - Use IS_ALIGNED(). (BTW, PTR_IS_ALIGNED() does not exist?) (Kalle)
  - I have also noticed that some headers files did not declare all the
    struct they used.

  These issues remain (I hope they are not blockers):
  - I have currently no ideas how to improve/simplify the parsing PDS file.
    (Kalle)
  - We would like to relate the SDIO quirks into mmc/core/quirks.h, but the
    API to do that does not yet exist. (Ulf, Pali)

v7:
  - Update location of mmc-pwrseq-simple.txt (Rob)

v6:
  - Rebase on last staging-next (roughtly somewhere after the 5.15
    merge window). So, this series include the patches from:
      https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210913130203.1903622-1-Jerome.Pouiller@silabs.com/

v5:
  - Add reference to the PR to linux-firmware in the cover letter
  - Rebase on last staging tree (that mainly include commit 6efed0a69794
    "staging: wfx: fix possible panic with re-queued frames" and a few
    cosmetics changes)
  - Remove useless trailing spaces in DT binding (Rob)
  - Add a commit message in the patch 2 since I am not sure it will be
    squashed with the other (Rob)

v4:
  - Rebase on last staging tree
  - Add 'additionalProperties: false' to the DT specification (I made that
    change blindly because I am able to reproduce Rob's error) (Rob)
  - Replace C++ comments with Ansi C comments (Kalle)
  - Check that existing Ansi C comments comply with net/ "compact" style
  - Drop one obsolete comment
  - Remove comments after '#endif' in header files
  - Remove macro redefinitions in hif_api_general.h (Kalle)
  - Replace compiletime_assert() with BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() (Kalle)
  - Rename ieee80211_is_action_back() (Kalle)
  - Add a comment explaining how the PDS is sent to the device (Kalle)
  - Add a comment about case where CONFIG_MMC==m in the Makefile (Kalle)
  - Fix irrevelant comment about CONFIG_VMAP_STACK (Kalle)
  - Talk about the unreliable SDIO Vendor ID in the Kconfig help (Kalle)
  - Mention the firmware status in the cover letter (Kalle)
  - Fix misaligned function arguments in key.c

v3:
  - dt-bindings: Rename config-file property (Rob)
  - dt-bindings: No additional properties are allowed (spi-max-frequency is
    already listed) (Rob)
  - dt-bindings: Remove references for mac-address properties (Rob)
  - Rebase on staging/staging-next

v2:
  - dt-bindings: Improve device description and add link to the datasheet
      (Rob)
  - dt-bindings: Add blank lines between each DT property (Rob)
  - dt-bindings: Explicitly mention mac-address and local-mac-address and
      add references to ethernet-controller.yaml (Rob)
  - dt-bindings: "config-file" is not for development/debug (Rob)
  - dt-bindings: Remove description of "spi-max-frequency" (Rob)
  - dt-bindings: Use "folded scalar" syntax instead of escaping the colons
  - bus_sdio.c: A compatible node in the DT is now mandatory to probe the
      device. Also change documentation of dt-bindings accordingly (Pali,
      Ulf)
  - bus_sdio.c: Move SDIO IDs to sdio_ids.h (Pali)
  - bh.c: Import patch "staging: wfx: fix test on return value of
      gpiod_get_value()" (Nathan)
  - data_tx.c: Import patch "staging: wfx: fix use of uninitialized
      pointer"
  - sta.c: Import patch "staging: wfx: make a const array static, makes
      object smaller" (Colin)

v1:
  - Drop the function name in the warning message (Kalle)
  - Replace goto by return in wfx_send_pdata_pds() (Kalle, Dan)
  - Improve error label in wfx_send_pdata_pds() (Kalle)

For the PDS file problem it would help if you could actually describe
what the firmware requires/needs and then we can start from that. I had
some questions about this in v7 but apparently you missed those.

So is this a direct version from staging-next? If yes, what commit id did
you use? Or do you have your own set of patches on top of staging-next?

I am based on 5e57c668dc09 from staging-next. (I have not rebased it between
v7 and v8)

I did and I even made further questions:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/87k0ixj5vn.fsf@codeaurora.org/

Can we please continue the discussion on that thread instead of passing
out lore links to each other :)

Commit 5e57c668dc09 is from Sep 14th, so I take it that you have your on
patches on top of staging-next.

But please don't send a new version of the patchset too often, at least
try to keep two weeks between versions but preferably even more. It's
quite difficult when you send a new version and there are still ongoing
discussions in the previous version.
