We have always met the unused log be printed as following.

...
[23193.523182] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: mwifiex_get_cfp:
cannot find cfp by band 2    & channel=13 freq=0
[23378.633684] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: mwifiex_get_cfp:
cannot find cfp by band 2    & channel=13 freq=0

Maybe that's related to wifi regdom, since wifi default area
was US and didn't support 12~14 channels.

As Frequencies:
* 2412 MHz [1] (30.0 dBm)
* 2417 MHz [2] (30.0 dBm)
* 2422 MHz [3] (30.0 dBm)
* 2427 MHz [4] (30.0 dBm)
* 2432 MHz [5] (30.0 dBm)
* 2437 MHz [6] (30.0 dBm)
* 2442 MHz [7] (30.0 dBm)
* 2447 MHz [8] (30.0 dBm)
* 2452 MHz [9] (30.0 dBm)
* 2457 MHz [10] (30.0 dBm)
* 2462 MHz [11] (30.0 dBm)
* 2467 MHz [12] (disabled)
* 2472 MHz [13] (disabled)
* 2484 MHz [14] (disabled)

I don't see how this fixes anything, care to explain? And the title is
quite vague.

And I would rather fix the root cause, mwifiex folks please comment.

Sorry for the description maybe unclear.
I'm assuming the print log is expected for marvel wifi driver. Do we 
should use 'WARN' to instead of the 'ERROR' here.

Indeed, that's my expected.

But does that make any functional difference, isn't the warning still
printed?

At least, that shouldn't be printed log by default.  :)

if I read the code is correct. That only the MSG/FATAL/ERROR will output 
by default.

Heh, makes more sense now :) But you still should improve the title and
explain in the commit log that WARN level is not printed by default.

But before you submit v2 let's wait what Marvell says about this.

Hi Caesar,

The original log in google issue tracker show there exist AP in channel 13 after periodically scan. 
Per my understand, if reg domain is set to US,  channel 12/13/14 will not get chance to scan. (test using iw/wpa_supplicant).
I am curious about whether there are any diff from upper layer.

As a test, you can print the scan channel list, as below:

diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c

Hi Caesar,

It proved to be a feature to get better scan result from overlapping channel, introduced in

commit 1b499cb72f26bbf44f2fa158c2d1487730aae96a
Author: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@marvell.com>
Date:   Sun Apr 24 23:49:51 2016 -0700

    mwifiex: disable channel filtering feature in firmware
    
    As 2.4Ghz channels are overlapping, sometimes AP responds to
    probe request even if it's operating on neighbouring channel.
    Currently firmware drops those scan entries, as current channel
    doesn't match with APs channel.
    
    This patch enables MWIFIEX_DISABLE_CHAN_FILT flag in scan
    command to disable the feature so that better scan results
    will be received in 2.4Ghz band.

As I can see, even there could be AP from overlapping channel (might be 12/13/14 in this case),  it will be filtered depend on reg domain rules
 
       if (ch->flags & IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED)
            continue;

so it should not been an ERROR. WARN looks fine to me.
you can add me acked-by in v2.


Regards,
Simon

Maybe that's related to wifi regdom, since wifi default area was

I don't see how this fixes anything, care to explain? And the title
is quite vague.
Sorry for the description maybe unclear.
I'm assuming the print log is expected for marvel wifi driver. Do we
should use 'WARN' to instead of the 'ERROR' here.
But does that make any functional difference, isn't the warning still
printed?


At least, that shouldn't be printed log by default.  :)

if I read the code is correct. That only the MSG/FATAL/ERROR will
output by default.
