[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 204/212] wifi: rtl8xxxu: retry firmware download on error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Soeren Moch <smoch@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3d3e28feca7ac8c6cf2a390dbbe1f97e3feb7f36 ]

Occasionally there is an EPROTO error during firmware download.
This error is converted to EAGAIN in the download function.
But nobody tries again and so device probe fails.

Implement download retry to fix this.

This error was observed (and fix tested) on a tbs2910 board [1]
with an embedded RTL8188EU (0bda:8179) device behind a USB hub.
