Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: set interface carrier to off by default
Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2019 12:35:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191210113555.1868-1-zajec5@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

It's important as brcmfmac creates one main interface for each PHY and
doesn't allow deleting it. Not setting carrier could result in other
subsystems misbehaving (e.g. LEDs "netdev" trigger turning LED on).

I noticed this problem when using "netdev" LED trigger with "wlan0" set
as "device_name". While my interface was down (unused) the "netdev"
trigger was checking it with netif_carrier_ok() and assuming it's up.

This solution affects initial state of all brcmfmac interfaces (not
only the first non-removable one) but I think it should be fine. Later
on brcmfmac takes care of updating carrier as needed.
