Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] bcma: scan: accept wrapper-less cores on wrapper-less backplanes
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 00:45:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012-bcm6362-wlan-v2-3-4752da7e0982@mythread.it> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261012-bcm6362-wlan-v2-0-4752da7e0982@mythread.it>
The scan drops every component that publishes no master or slave
wrapper in the EROM (NMW = NSW = 0), apart from a few known cores,
because without a wrapper bcma has no agent registers to gate and
crash. Since usually bcma is loaded early, it ends as a loop-crash.
Some backplanes, such as the integrated WLAN of the BCM6362, have
no wrappers on any core. ChipCommon and the 802.11 core are gated
through a SoC-level register block owned by the host driver, whose
aread32/awrite32 ops emulate the agent registers, and core 0x837
needs no gating.
Add a wrapperless flag to struct bcma_bus, set by the host driver
before bcma_init_bus(), and accept these cores without wrappers when
it is set. Other hosts keep rejecting them.
