* wl12xx: fix module author's email address in the spi and sdio modulesLuciano Coelho2011-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | The MODULE_AUTHOR() macro in the main module (wl12xx) has been updated to reflect one of the author's new email address, but the wl12xx_spi and wl12xx_sdio modules haven't been updated. This patches updates them. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* wl12xx: Switch to level trigger interruptsIdo Yariv2011-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The interrupt of the wl12xx is a level interrupt in nature, since the interrupt line is not auto-reset. However, since resetting the interrupt requires bus transactions, this cannot be done from an interrupt context. Thus, requesting a level interrupt would require to disable the irq and re-enable it after the HW is acknowledged. Since we now request a threaded irq, this can also be done by specifying the IRQF_ONESHOT flag. Triggering on an edge can be problematic in some platforms, if the sampling frequency is not sufficient for detecting very frequent interrupts. In case an interrupt is missed, the driver will hang as the interrupt line will stay high until it is acknowledged by the driver, which will never happen. Fix this by requesting a level triggered interrupt, with the IRQF_ONESHOT flag.

* wl12xx: Switch to a threaded interrupt handlerIdo Yariv2011-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To achieve maximal throughput, it is very important to react to interrupts as soon as possible. Currently the interrupt handler wakes up a worker for handling interrupts in process context. A cleaner and more efficient design would be to request a threaded interrupt handler. This handler's priority is very high, and can do blocking operations such as SDIO/SPI transactions. Some work can be deferred, mostly calls to mac80211 APIs (ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_tx_status). By deferring such work to a different worker, we can keep the irq handler thread more I/O responsive. In addition, on multi-core systems the two threads can be scheduled on different cores, which will improve overall performance. The use of WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_PENDING & WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING was changed. For simplicity, always query the FW for more pending interrupts. Since there are relatively long bursts of interrupts, the extra FW status read overhead is negligible. In addition, this enables registering the IRQ handler with the ONESHOT option.

| | | | | | | | | | In the wl1271 implementation, we need to read memory from the register partition using fixed addresses.

* wl12xx: add driverKalle Valo2009-05-06
wl12xx is a driver for TI wl1251 802.11 chipset designed for embedded devices, supporting both SDIO and SPI busses. Currently the driver supports only SPI. Adding support 1253 (the 5 GHz version) should be relatively easy.
