      wimax/i2400m: introduce i2400m_reset(), stopping TX and carrier · c931ceeb
      Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 提交于
      Currently the i2400m driver was resetting by just calling
      i2400m->bus_reset(). However, this was missing stopping the TX queue
      and downing the carrier. This was causing, for the corner case of the
      driver reseting a device that refuses to go out of idle mode, that a
      few packets would be queued and more than one reset would go through,
      making the recovery a wee bit messy.
      
      To avoid introducing the same cleanup in all the bus-specific driver,
      introduced a i2400m_reset() function that takes care of house cleaning
      and then calling the bus-level reset implementation.
      
      The bulk of the changes in all files are just to rename the call from
      i2400m->bus_reset() to i2400m_reset().

      net: Add DEVTYPE support for Ethernet based devices · 384912ed
      Marcel Holtmann 提交于
      The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
      prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
      application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
      not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
      or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
      in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
      good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
      does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.
      
      To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
      then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
      within udev.
      
        # cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
        DEVTYPE=wlan
        INTERFACE=wlan0
        IFINDEX=5
      
      This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
      between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.
      
      The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
      device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
      same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

      wimax/i2400m: Allow bus-specific driver to specify retry count · ecddfd5e
      Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 提交于
      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: usb: fix device reset on autosuspend while not yet idle · 2618ab77
      Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 提交于
      When the i2400m is connected to a network, the host interface (USB)
      cannot be suspended. For that to happen, the device has to have
      negotiated with the basestation to put the link on IDLE state.
      
      If the host tries to put the device in standby while it is connected
      but not idle, the device resets, as the driver should not do that.
      
      To avoid triggering that, when the USB susbsytem requires the driver
      to autosuspend the device, the driver checks if the device is not yet
      idle. If it is not, the request is requested (will be retried again
      later on after the autosuspend timeout). At some point the device will
      enter idle and the request will succeed (unless of course, there is
      network traffic, but at that point, there is no idle neither in the
      link or the host interface).

      wimax/i2400m: add the ability to fallback to other firmware files if the default is not there · 1039abbc
      Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 提交于
      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.
