The ath10k driver waits for an "MSA_READY" indicator to complete initialization. If the indicator is not received, then the device remains unusable.
cf. ath10k_qmi_driver_event_work() Several msm8998-based devices are affected by this issue. Oddly, it seems safe to NOT wait for the indicator, and proceed immediately when QMI_EVENT_SERVER_ARRIVE. Jeff Johnson wrote: The feedback I received was "it might be ok to change all ath10k qmi to skip waiting for msa_ready", and it was pointed out that ath11k (and ath12k) do not wait for it. However with so many deployed devices, "might be ok" isn't a strong argument for changing the default behavior. cf. also https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Snapdragon_835_(MSM8998)#WLAN Signed-off-by: Marc Gonzalez <mgonza...@freebox.fr> --- arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/msm8998.dtsi | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/msm8998.dtsi b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/msm8998.dtsi index 67b8374ddf02f..4e6245095adfc 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/msm8998.dtsi +++ b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/msm8998.dtsi @@ -3234,6 +3234,7 @@ wifi: wifi@18800000 { iommus = <&anoc2_smmu 0x1900>, <&anoc2_smmu 0x1901>; qcom,snoc-host-cap-8bit-quirk; + qcom,no-msa-ready-indicator; }; }; }; -- 2.34.1
