Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.19-6.1] wifi: rtw89: pci: restore LDO setting after device resume
Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 16:23:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260214212452.782265-43-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260214212452.782265-1-sashal@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit af1e82232b988f8fc6d635c60609765e49221a64 ]
The LDO (Low Dropout Regulator) setting is missing after suspend/resume
in some platforms, and it will cause card loss. Therefore, reconfigure
this setting to avoid it.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
### 3. CLASSIFICATION
This is a **suspend/resume bug fix** for a WiFi driver. The
`rtw89_pci_hci_ldo()` function is called during initial PCI setup (line
3065) but was missing from the resume path. After suspend/resume, the
LDO regulator configuration is lost, causing the WiFi card to disappear
entirely ("card loss").
The function `rtw89_pci_hci_ldo()` configures LDO-related bits in
`R_AX_SYS_SDIO_CTRL` for RTL8852A/885xB chips and RTL8852C chips. This
is a hardware register configuration that must be restored after power
cycling (suspend/resume).
### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT
- **Change size**: 1 line added — minimal
- **Files touched**: 1 file (`drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/pci.c`)
- **Risk**: Extremely low — this calls an existing function that is
already called during normal initialization. It's simply calling it
again in the resume path to restore hardware state.
- **Subsystem**: WiFi driver (rtw89 — Realtek WiFi)
### 5. USER IMPACT
- **Who is affected**: Users with Realtek RTW89 WiFi adapters (RTL8852A,
RTL885xB, RTL8852C) who use suspend/resume
- **Severity**: HIGH — "card loss" means the WiFi card completely stops
working after resume, requiring a reboot
- **Real-world impact**: Laptop users who suspend their machines
regularly will lose WiFi functionality every time they resume
### 6. STABILITY
- The fix is from Realtek engineers (Dian-Syuan Yang, Ping-Ke Shih) who
maintain this driver
- It calls an existing, well-tested function — no new code paths are
introduced
- The pattern is well-established: many PCI drivers need to restore
register settings after resume
### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK
The function `rtw89_pci_hci_ldo()` already exists in the codebase. The
`rtw89_pci_l2_hci_ldo()` call was already in the resume path. This
single-line addition has no dependencies on other commits.
### Summary
This is a textbook stable backport candidate:
- **Fixes a real bug**: WiFi card loss after suspend/resume
- **Obviously correct**: Restores hardware register configuration that
was present during init but missing during resume
- **Small and contained**: Single line addition calling an existing
function
- **No new features**: Just restoring existing hardware configuration
- **Low risk**: Calls well-tested existing code
- **High impact**: Affects laptop users who use suspend/resume with
these WiFi chips
- **From the hardware vendor**: Written by Realtek engineers who
understand the hardware
**YES**
