Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] mwifiex: add .get_tx_power and .get_antenna cfg80211 operations
Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2016 13:02:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465232558-31678-1-git-send-email-javier@osg.samsung.com> (raw)
Hello,
Since commit de3bb771f471 ("cfg80211: add more warnings for inconsistent
ops") the wireless core warns if a driver implements a cfg80211 callback
but doesn't implements the inverse operation. The mwifiex driver has two
set operations defined without the get counterpat so warnings are shown:
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 127 at net/wireless/core.c:366 wiphy_new_nm+0x66c/0x6ac

This patch series fixes the warnings by implementing callbacks for the
missing get operations.
Since the first version was posted [0], Amitkumar Karwar from Marvell
provided me their patches that adds the same. The .get_tx_power patch was
very similar to mine. So I kept my patch and added the delta as a follow
up patch but discarded my .get_antenna patch since the one provided by
Amitkumar queries the firmware so is the correct approach.
Patches were tested on an Exynos5800 Chromebook that has a mwifiex chip.
Changes since v1:
- Drop patch that reports antenna cached values and use Marvell's patch
instead.
- Add patch that moves the .get_tx_power() logic to sta_ioctl.c file.
