Subject: Re: [PATCH rtw-next] wifi: rtw88: sdio: use indirect IO for device registers before power-on
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2025 19:57:41 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aSHrhbt29k6GJB8e@skv.local> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250724004815.7043-1-pkshih@realtek.com>
Hi,
This patch was recently backported to stable kernels (v6.12.58) and it broke
wlan on PinePhone, that uses 8723cs SDIO chip. The same problem
appears of course on latest 6.18-rc6. Reverting this change resolves
the problem.
```
