Subject: [PATCH for 3.10 V2] brcmsmac: disable power-save related functions
Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2013 13:29:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370518196-14840-1-git-send-email-arend@broadcom.com> (raw)

This patch fixes a regression introduced by:

  commit 6da3b6c48d79da96a36c2632053cf4f53bf48fb2
  Author: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
  Date:   Sun Mar 24 01:45:52 2013 +0100

      brcmsmac: remove brcms_bss_cfg->associated

The regression behaviour was described on mailing list.

http://mid.gmane.org/5197DC4F.7030503@broadcom.com:
"On laptop I installed kernel with brcmsmac compiled as
module. It comes up and associates during boot, but after
logging in there is no connectivity. Triggering reassoc
gives connectivity for some time, but after a while (1-2 min)
it stops."

Before the mentioned commit the return value of
the function brcms_c_ps_allowed() was always false,
which is desired behaviour as power-save is not
supported at the moment. Therefor, the function is
changed to just return false instead of simply
reverting the mentioned commit.

Bug: 58471 <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58471>
