This fixed the initialisation of all tested Atheros wireless cards. The change shouldn't affect the performance for wireless cards, it could reduce the performance of storage controller cards but since OpenWrt focuses on wireless connectivity, fixing compatibility with wireless cards should be a priority. For the record, the iwlwifi and mt76 cards were not affected by this issue. 1. http://espressobin.net/forums/topic/which-pcie-wlan-cards-are-supported Signed-off-by: Tomasz Maciej Nowak --- ...ark-allow-to-specify-link-capability.patch | 43 +++++++++++ ...-3720-espressobin-set-max-link-to-ge.patch | 73 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 116 insertions(+) create mode 100644 target/linux/mvebu/patches-4.14/527-PCI-aardvark-allow-to-specify-link-capability.patch create mode 100644 target/linux/mvebu/patches-4.14/528-arm64-dts-armada-3720-espressobin-set-max-link-to-ge.patch diff --git a/target/linux/mvebu/patches-4.14/527-PCI-aardvark-allow-to-specify-link-capability.patch b/target/linux/mvebu/patches-4.14/527-PCI-aardvark-allow-to-specify-link-capability.patch new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..fb57f4112a --- /dev/null +++ b/target/linux/mvebu/patches-4.14/527-PCI-aardvark-allow-to-specify-link-capability.patch @@ -0,0 +1,43 @@ +From f70b629e488cc3f2a325ac35476f4f7ae502c5d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 +From: Tomasz Maciej Nowak +Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2018 14:24:40 +0200 +Subject: [PATCH 1/2] PCI: aardvark: allow to specify link capability + +Use DT of_pci_get_max_link_speed() facility to allow specifying link +capability.
