[PATCH v3 1/2] mwifiex: Use a define for firmware version string length

[Jonas Dreßler]

Since the version string we get from the firmware is always 128
characters long, use a define for this size instead of having the number
128 copied all over the place.

Not related to your patch, but this highlights that nobody is ensuring
this string is 0-terminated, and various other places (notably, *not*
your patch 2!) assume that it is.

We should either fix those to use an snprintf()/length-restricted
variant, or else just force:

		priv->version_str[MWIFIEX_VERSION_STR_LENGTH - 1] = '\0';

here.

But that's a separate issue/patch. I can cook one on top of your series
when it gets merged if you don't want to.

Indeed, right now we just trust the firmware to make sure that's the case.

Let me add another patch appending the '\0' to priv->version_str...

[PATCH v3 2/2] mwifiex: Add quirk to disable deep sleep with certain hardware revision

[Jonas Dreßler]

The 88W8897 PCIe+USB card in the hardware revision 20 apparently has a
hardware issue where the card wakes up from deep sleep randomly and very
often, somewhat depending on the card activity, maybe the hardware has a
floating wakeup pin or something. This was found by comparing two MS
Surface Book 2 devices, where one devices wifi card experienced spurious
wakeups, while the other one didn't.

Those continuous wakeups prevent the card from entering host sleep when
the computer suspends. And because the host won't answer to events from
the card anymore while it's suspended, the firmwares internal power
saving state machine seems to get confused and the card can't sleep
anymore at all after that.

Since we can't work around that hardware bug in the firmware, let's
get the hardware revision string from the firmware and match it with
known bad revisions. Then disable auto deep sleep for those revisions,
which makes sure we no longer get those spurious wakeups.

Checkpatch won't warn you if string literal even > 100. So move it to one line
and drop curly braces. Ditto for the case(s) below.

I don't understand the advantage of making this one line.  I *do*
understand the advantage of joining a single string so grep can find
it more easily.  But that does make the code a little bit uglier, and
in a case like this, you don't get the benefit of better grepping, so
I don't see the point.

Then disregard my comment. I've no hard feelings about it :-)
