Subject: [PATCH 08/19] wifi: rtw88: fw: fix the reserved page upload on RTL8723BS
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 20:18:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724181858.192903-9-luka.gejak@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724181858.192903-1-luka.gejak@linux.dev>
From: Luka Gejak <luka.gejak@linux.dev>
Two things stop the reserved page handshake from completing on this
chip. BIT_EN_BCNQ_DL has to be cleared so the upload is not treated as
a real beacon, which rtw88 only does for PCIe while the vendor driver
does it unconditionally. The software beacon download path also has to
be pointed at port 0. Without either, BIT_BCN_VALID is never asserted
and the upload reports a timeout.
