Subject: [Buildroot] [Bug 15071] New: RTL8723BS library is outdated
Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2022 10:27:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-15071-163@https.bugs.busybox.net/> (raw)

            Bug ID: 15071
           Summary: RTL8723BS library is outdated
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2022.02.6
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Outdated package
          Assignee: unassigned@buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: alirezatm@ymail.com
                CC: buildroot@uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Good day, It seems that the RTL8723BS library in the buildroot settings
accessible by "make menuconfig" and "make linux-menunconfig" is outdated and
hasn't been updated for a long time

In the "~/buildroot-2022.02.6/package/rtl8723bs/rtl8723bs.mk" file, I saw this
line: 
RTL8723BS_SITE = $(call github,hadess,rtl8723bs,$(RTL8723BS_VERSION))
which means that it's fetching the library from
https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs which as you can see is not being updated
anymore and is extremely outdated. For example it doesn't respect the changes
to the timer done in the 4.15 kernel

I tried lowering my linux kernel version in the "make menuconfig" settings as a
compromise but this library still won't compile. Tried and failed with kernel
versions 4.11, 4.12 and 4.14

The kernel itself seems to have an up-to-date driver for it
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/staging/rtl8723bs) but I
don't think we can access it via buildroot

Is there any chance to fix this library? Thanks
I've attached my .config file if it helps
