b43: Add debugfs firmware debugging knob

2008-06-27T13:09:16Z

This adds a firmware debugging knob to debugfs. With this knob it's possible to enable advanced runtime firmware checks. For now it only implements one sanity check for the mac-suspend. In future there'll probably be more. If CONFIG_B43_DEBUG is disabled, these checks will collapse to nothing. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Remove "shm" and "ucode_regs" debugfs files

2008-06-26T20:49:18Z

We don't need these two dump-files anymore, as we can easily do this in userspace now. Use b43-fwdump from the b43-tools repository to dump microcode registers. Use "b43-fwdump -s" to dump SHM (or use -S to do a binary dump) Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Add debugfs files for random SHM access

2008-06-26T20:49:18Z

This adds debugfs files for random SHM access. This is needed in order to implement firmware and driver debugging scripts in userspace. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Add debugfs files for MMIO register access

2008-06-26T20:49:18Z

This adds debugfs files for reading and writing arbitrary wireless core registers. This is useful for debugging. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Rewrite LO calibration algorithm

2008-05-07T19:02:12Z

This patch distributes the Local Oscillator calibration bursts over time, so that calibration only happens when it's actually needed. Currently we periodically perform a recalibration of the whole table. The table is huge and this takes lots of time. Additionally only small bits of the table are actually needed at a given time. So instead of maintaining a huge table with all possible calibration values, we create dynamic calibration settings that a) We only calibrate when they are actually needed. b) Are cached for some time until they expire. So a recalibration might happen if we need a calibration setting that's not cached, or if the active calibration setting expires. Currently the expire timeout is set to 30 seconds. We may raise that in future. This patch reduces overall memory consumption by nuking the huge static calibration tables. This patch has been tested on several 4306, 4311 and 4318 flavours.
