+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: fix setting AP channel with new firmwares
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Firmware for new chipsets is based on a new major version of code
+internally maintained at Broadcom. E.g. brcmfmac4366b-pcie.bin (used for
+BCM4366B1) is based on 10.10.69.3309 while brcmfmac43602-pcie.ap.bin was
+based on 7.35.177.56.
+
+Currently setting AP 5 GHz channel doesn't work reliably with BCM4366B1.
+When setting e.g. 36 control channel with VHT80 (center channel 42)
+firmware may randomly pick one of:
+1) 52 control channel with 58 as center one
+2) 100 control channel with 106 as center one
+3) 116 control channel with 122 as center one
+4) 149 control channel with 155 as center one
+
+It seems new firmwares require setting AP mode (BRCMF_C_SET_AP) before
+specifying a channel. Changing an order of firmware calls fixes the
+problem. This requirement resulted in two separated "chanspec" calls,
+one in AP code path and one in P2P path.
+
+This fix was verified with BCM4366B1 and tested for regressions on
+BCM43602.

+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: don't remove interface on link down firmware event
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+There are two firmware events we handle similarly in brcmfmac:
+BRCMF_E_LINK and BRCMF_E_IF. The difference from firmware point of view
+is that the first one means BSS remains present in the firmware. Trying
+to (re)create it (e.g. when adding new virtual interface) will result in
+an error.
+
+Current code treats both events in a similar way. It removes Linux
+interface for each of them. It works OK with e.g. BCM43602. Its firmware
+generates both events for each interface. It means we get BRCMF_E_LINK
+and remove interface. That is soon followed by BRCMF_E_IF which means
+BSS was also removed in a firmware. The only downside of this is a
+harmless error like:
+[  208.643180] brcmfmac: brcmf_fweh_call_event_handler: no interface object
+
+Unfortunately BCM4366 firmware doesn't automatically remove BSS and so
+it doesn't generate BRCMF_E_IF. In such case we incorrectly remove Linux
+interface on BRCMF_E_LINK as BSS is still present in the firmware. It
+results in an error when trying to re-create virtual interface, e.g.:
+> iw phy phy1 interface add wlan1-1 type __ap
+[ 3602.929199] brcmfmac: brcmf_ap_add_vif: timeout occurred
+command failed: I/O error (-5)
+
+With this patch we don't remove Linux interface while firmware keeps
+BSS. Thanks to this we keep a consistent states of host driver and
+device firmware.
+
+Further improvement should be to mark BSS as disabled and remove
+interface on BRCMF_E_LINK. Then we should add support for reusing
+BSS-es.
