[PATCH 0/2] rtlwifi: Fixes for antenna selection in rtl8723be

[Larry Finger]

There are some HP laptops that contain only a single antenna, which would
not be a problem except these boxes have a mistake in their EFUSE coding.
The ant_sel module option has been provided to correct for this problem;
however, the current antenna selection code has bugs. The first of these
two patches fix a problem in kernel 4.12, and the second fixes an
additional problem in kernel 4.13.

These patches are intended for kernel 4.14.

Thanks,
Larry

[PATCH 1/2] rtlwifi: btcoexist: Fix breakage of ant_sel for rtl8723be

[Larry Finger]

In commit bcd37f4a0831 ("rtlwifi: btcoex: 23b 2ant: let bt transmit when
hw initialisation done"), there is an additional error when the module
parameter ant_sel is used to select the auxilary antenna. The error is
that the antenna selection is not checked when writing the antenna
selection register.

[PATCH 2/2] rtlwifi: btcoexist: Fix antenna selection code

[Larry Finger]

In commit 87d8a9f35202 ("rtlwifi: btcoex: call bind to setup btcoex"),
the code turns on a call to exhalbtc_bind_bt_coex_withadapter(). This
routine contains a bug that causes incorrect antenna selection for those
HP laptops with only one antenna and an incorrectly programmed EFUSE.
These boxes are the ones that need the ant_sel module parameter.
