-ath9k: Avoid OF no-EEPROM quirks without qca,no-eeprom
-
-ath9k_of_init() function[0] was initially written on the assumption that
-if someone had an explicit ath9k OF node that "there must be something
-wrong, why would someone add an OF node if everything is fine"[1]
-(Quoting Martin Blumenstingl)
-
-"it turns out it's not that simple. with your requirements I'm now aware
-of two use-cases where the current code in ath9k_of_init() doesn't work
-without modifications"[1]
-
-The "your requirements" Martin speaks of is the result of the fact that I
-have a device (PowerCloud Systems CR5000) that uses the EEPROM for
-caldata and firmware but for which the MAC address is take from the MTD
-"art" partition[2], or more succinctly:
-
-"some cards come with a physical EEPROM chip so "qca,no-eeprom" should not
-be set (your use-case). in this case AH_USE_EEPROM should be set (which
-is the default when there is no OF node)"[1]
-
-The other use case is:
-
-the firmware on some PowerMac G5 seems to add a OF node for the ath9k
-card automatically. depending on the EEPROM on the card AH_NO_EEP_SWAP
-should be unset (which is the default when there is no OF node). see [3]
-
-After this patch to ath9k_of_init() the new behavior will be:
-
- if there's no OF node then everything is the same as before
- if there's an empty OF node then ath9k will use the hardware EEPROM
- (before ath9k would fail to initialize because no EEPROM data was
- provided by userspace)
- if there's an OF node with only a MAC address then ath9k will use
- the MAC address and the hardware EEPROM (see the case above)
- with "qca,no-eeprom" EEPROM data from userspace will be requested.
- the behavior here will not change
-[1]
-
-Martin provides additional background on EEPROM swapping[1] which I have
-included in the patch annotation but not the commit message.
-
-Thanks to Christian Lampartar <chunkeey@gmail.com> for all his help on
-troubleshooting this issue and the basis for this patch.
