Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Fix ccode from EFI nvram when necessary
|
|
|
|
In some cases the EFI-var stored nvram contains "ccode=ALL" or "ccode=XV"
|
|
to specify "worldwide" compatible settings, but these 2 ccode-s do not work
|
|
properly.
|
|
|
|
I've tested the different known "worldwide" ccode-s used in various nvram
|
|
sources with the latest firmwares from linux-firmware for various brcmfmac
|
|
models, here is a simplified (*) table with what each setting results in:
|
|
|
|
ALL: 12-14 disab, U-NII-1, U-NII-2 no-IR/radar, U-NII-3
|
|
XV: 12-14 no-IR, disables all 5G channels
|
|
XY: 12-13 enab, 14 disab, U-NII-1 enab, U-NII-2 no-IR/radar, U-NII-3 disab
|
|
X2: 12-13 no-IR, 14 dis, U-NII-1 no-IR, U-NII-2 no-IR/radar, U-NII-3 no-IR
|
|
|
|
Where 12,13,14 are 2.4G channels 12-14 and U-NII-1/2/3 are the 3 different
|
|
5G channel groups. no-IR is no-Initiate-Radiation, we will never send on
|
|
these channels without first having received valid wifi traffic there.
|
|
|
|
This immediately shows that both ALL and XV are not as worldwide as we want
|
|
them to be. ALL causes channels 12 and 13 to not be available and XV causes
|
|
all 5GHz channels to not be available. Also ALL unconditionally enables the
|
|
U-NII-1 and U-NII-3 5G groups, while we really should be using no-IR for
|
|
these.
|
|
|
|
This commit replace XV and ALL with X2, which allows usage of chan 12-13
|
|
and 5G channels, but only after receiving valid wifi traffic there first.
|
|
|
|
Note that this configure the firmware's channel limits, the kernels own
|
|
regulatory restrictions based on e.g. regulatory info received from the
|
|
access-point, will be applied on top of this.
|
|
|
|
This fixes channels 12+13 not working on the Asus T200TA and the Lenovo
|
|
Mixx 2 8 and 5G channels not working on the Asus T100HA.
|
|
|
|
This has been tested on the following models: Acer Iconia Tab8 w1-810,
|
|
Acer One 10, Asus T100CHI, Asus T100HA, Asus T100TA, Asus T200TA and a
|
|
Lenovo Mixx 2 8.
|
|
|
|
*) There are some exceptions to this table:
|
|
1) On really old firmware e.g. linux-firmware's 2011 brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin
|
|
ALL really means all, unconditionally enabling everything
|
|
2) The exact meaning might be influenced by setting the regrev nvram var.
|
|
Specifically using ccode=XV + regrev=1 on brcmfmac43241b4 leads to:
|
|
12-14 no-ir, U-NII-1 no-ir, U-NII-2 no-ir/radar, U-NII-3 no-ir
|
|
But only on the brcmfmac43241b4 and not on e.g. the brcmfmac43340
