* wimax/i2400m: don't write to memory allocated by request_firmware()Cindy H Kao2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | In kernel 2.6.31, the firmware requested to ram could be marked with read only attribute, and we can't write any thing directly to the memory when setting up the last JUMP brh cmd. Changed so that the scratch buffer is used. Signed-off-by: Cindy H Kao <cindy.h.kao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>
* wimax/i2400m: be smarter about copying command buffer to bm_cmd_bufInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because some underlying bus APIs (like USB) don't like data buffers in the stack or vmalloced areas, the i2400m driver provides a scratch buffer (i2400m->bm_cmd_buf) for said low-level drivers to copy command data to before passing it to said API. This is only used during boot mode. However, at some the code was copying the buffer even when the command was already specified in said buffer. This is ok, but it needs to be more careful. As thus, change so that: (a) the copy happens only if command buffer is not the scratch buffer (b) use memmove() in case there is overlapping Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>
* wimax/i2400m: Make boot retries a BUS-specific parameterDirk Brandewie2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In i2400m-based devices, the driver's bootloader will retry to load the firmware when things go wrong. The driver currently has a constant (I2400M_BOOT_RETRIES) which governs the max number of tries. However, different SKUs of the same hardware may admit or require different numbers of retries due to it's particulars, so it is made a BUS specific parameter and different values are assigned for 5x50 devices versus the 3200 ones.

* wimax/i2400m: don't reset device when bootrom init retries are exceededInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When i2400m_bootrom_init() fails to put the device into a state of being ready to accept firmware, the driver was currently trying to reset it if it failed to do so. This is not too useful; as part of trying to put the device in the right state a few resets have already been tried. At this point, things are probably fried out and an extra reset might do more harm than good (for example causing reseting of other functions in the same composite device). So it is left up to the callers to determine the error path to take (at the end this is always i2400m_setup(), who depending on how many retries are left, might give up on the device).

* wimax/i2400m: move boot time poke table out of common driverDirk Brandewie2009-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This change moves the table of "pokes" performed on the device at boot time to the bus specific portion of the driver. Different models of the i2400m device supported by this driver require different poke tables, thus having a single table that works for all is impossible. For that, the table is moved to the bus-specific driver, who can decide which table to use based on the specifics of the device and point the generic driver to it.

* wimax/i2400m: Allow bus-specific driver to specify retry countInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code that sets up the i2400m (firmware load and general driver setup after it) includes a couple of retry loops. The SDIO device sometimes can get in more complicated corners than the USB one (due to its interaction with other SDIO functions), that require trying a few more times. To solve that, without having a failing USB device taking longer to be considered dead, allow the retry counts to be specified by the bus-specific driver, which the general driver takes as a parameter.

* wimax/i2400m: if a device reboot happens during probe, handle itInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | When a device reboot happens when we are under probe, with init_mutex taken, make sure we can recover. Have dev_reset_handle set boot mode and i2400m_msg_to_dev() will see it and fail gracefully instead of timing out. Found and diagnosed by Cindy H. Kao.

* wimax/i2400m: add the ability to fallback to other firmware files if the ↵Inaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | default is not there In order to support backwards compatibility with older firmwares when a driver is updated by a new kernel release, the i2400m bus drivers can declare a list of firmware files they can work with (in general these will be each a different version). The firmware loader will try them in sequence until one loads. Thus, if a user doesn't have the latest and greatest firmware that a newly installed kernel would require, the driver would fall back to the firmware from a previous release. To support this, the i2400m->bus_fw_name is changed to be a NULL terminated array firmware file names (and renamed to bus_fw_names) and we add a new entry (i2400m->fw_name) that points to the name of the firmware being currently used. All code that needs to print the firmware file name uses i2400m->fw_name instead of the old i2400m->bus_fw_name. The code in i2400m_dev_bootstrap() that loads the firmware is changed with an iterator over the firmware file name list that tries to load each form user space, using the first one that succeeds in request_firmware() (and thus stopping the iteration). The USB and SDIO bus drivers are updated to take advantage of this and reflect which firmwares they support. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* i2400m: firmware loading and bootrom initializationInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-01-07
Implements the firmware loader (using the bus-specific driver's backends for the actual upload). The most critical thing in here is the piece that puts the device in boot-mode from any other (undetermined) state, otherwise, it is just pushing the bytes from the firmware file to the device.
