When bit 0 is set, then the EEPROM -format specific values are in "big endian". This is also done by the -FreeBSD kernel, see [0] for example. - -This allows us to parse EEPROMs with the "correct" magic bytes but -swapped EEPROM format specific values. These EEPROMs (mostly found in -lantiq and broadcom based big endian MIPS based devices) only worked -due to platform specific "hacks" which swapped the EEPROM so the -magic was inverted, which also enabled the format specific swapping. -With this patch the old behavior is still supported, but neither -recommended nor needed anymore. - -[0] -https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/50719b56d9ce8d7d4beb53b16e9edb2e9a4a7a18/sys/dev/ath/ath_hal/ah_eeprom_9287.c#L351 - -Signed-off-by: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@googlemail.com> ---- - drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c | 57 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- - 1 file changed, 41 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) - ---- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c -+++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c -@@ -155,11 +155,19 @@ bool ath9k_hw_nvram_read(struct ath_hw * - return ret; - } - -+#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN -+#define EXPECTED_EEPMISC_ENDIAN AR5416_EEPMISC_BIG_ENDIAN -+#else -+#define EXPECTED_EEPMISC_ENDIAN 0 -+#endif -+ - int ath9k_hw_nvram_swap_data(struct ath_hw *ah, bool *swap_needed, int size) - { - u16 magic; - u16 *eepdata; -+ u8 eepmisc; - int i; -+ bool needs_byteswap = false; - struct ath_common *common = ath9k_hw_common(ah); - - if (!ath9k_hw_nvram_read(ah, AR5416_EEPROM_MAGIC_OFFSET, &magic)) { -@@ -167,36 +175,53 @@ int ath9k_hw_nvram_swap_data(struct ath_ - return -EIO; - } - -- *swap_needed = false; - if (swab16(magic) == AR5416_EEPROM_MAGIC) { -+ needs_byteswap = true; -+ ath_dbg(common, EEPROM, -+ "EEPROM needs byte-swapping to correct endianness.\n"); -+ } else if (magic != AR5416_EEPROM_MAGIC) { -+ if (ath9k_hw_use_flash(ah)) { -+ ath_dbg(common, EEPROM, -+ "Ignoring invalid EEPROM magic (0x%04x).\n", -+ magic); -+ } else { -+ ath_err(common, -+ "Invalid EEPROM magic (0x%04x).\n", magic); -+ return -EINVAL; -+ } -+ } -+ -+ if (needs_byteswap) { - if (ah->ah_flags & AH_NO_EEP_SWAP) { - ath_info(common, - "Ignoring endianness difference in EEPROM magic bytes.\n"); - } else { -- *swap_needed = true; -- } -- } else if (magic != AR5416_EEPROM_MAGIC) { -- if (ath9k_hw_use_flash(ah)) -- return 0; -+ eepdata = (u16 *)(&ah->eeprom); - -- ath_err(common, -- "Invalid EEPROM Magic (0x%04x).\n", magic); -- return -EINVAL; -+ for (i = 0; i < size; i++) -+ eepdata[i] = swab16(eepdata[i]); -+ } - } - -- eepdata = (u16 *)(&ah->eeprom); -- -- if (*swap_needed) { -- ath_dbg(common, EEPROM, -- "EEPROM Endianness is not native..
