Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.19-6.18] wifi: rtw89: setting TBTT AGG number when mac port initialization
Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 16:22:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260214212452.782265-20-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260214212452.782265-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Chih-Kang Chang <gary.chang@realtek.com>
[ Upstream commit 5e5f83fba48381098b26a8b2513a6d5fc5c66ccb ]
When initializing mac port, needs to set TBTT AGG number to trigger TBTT
related interrupts. Otherwise, after sending join info H2C command with
disconnection mode, firmware will clear TBTT AGG number. Without the
setting from mac port initialization after that, this port will not be
able to transmit beacons.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
The `tbtt_agg` field has been part of the port register structure since
the initial driver addition. The register mask `B_AX_TBTT_AGG_NUM_MASK`
also exists. This means all necessary infrastructure is already in
stable trees.
### User Impact
This affects users running the rtw89 WiFi driver (Realtek 802.11ax
cards) in AP mode or any mode that requires beacon transmission. After a
disconnect/reconnect cycle, beacons stop being transmitted, making the
wireless interface non-functional for AP operations. This is a
significant functionality loss.
### Assessment
**Meets stable criteria:**
- **Obviously correct**: The function follows the exact same trivial
pattern as all other port config functions
- **Fixes a real bug**: Beacon transmission failure after
disconnect/reconnect
- **Small and contained**: ~15 lines, 1 file, mechanical pattern
- **No new features**: This restores expected behavior (setting a
hardware register during initialization)
- **No new APIs**: Internal driver change only
- **Low risk**: Uses existing register definitions and write helpers
**Concerns:**
- The commit is part of a series (patch 12 of a series based on the
Link), but it appears self-contained - it only adds a new function and
calls it. No dependencies on other patches in the series.
- The code is simple and the pattern is well-established in this driver.
The fix is small, surgical, restores critical WiFi AP functionality, and
follows established patterns in the driver. It meets all stable kernel
criteria.
**YES**
