[PATCH v3 0/2] wifi: rtw88: firmware recovery fixes and LPS hang handling

[Kalpesh Solanki]

This series addresses firmware recovery issues in rtw88.

Patch 1/2 from the v2 series (DMI quirk for HP Laptop 15s-fr5xxx) was
already applied to rtw-next. In this v3 series, patch 2/2 is replaced
and an additional fix is included based on feedback from Luka Gejak:

1. Patch 1/2 clears RTW_FLAG_RESTARTING in rtw_ops_stop() to fix a
   pre-existing bug where recovery remains permanently disabled if the
   interface is stopped or suspended before drv_reconfig_complete() is
   called.

2. Patch 2/2 replaces the previous LPS leave recovery change: instead
   of immediately triggering hardware restart on a single timeout (which
   causes spurious resets on noisy links or beacon loss), it introduces
   a consecutive hang counter (RTW_PS_HANG_MAX_CNT = 3) matching rtw89.
   The counter is reset on success and in rtw_core_start().

Changes in v3:
- Note: v2 patch 1/2 (DMI quirk) is already applied in rtw-next.
- Add patch 1/2 to clear RTW_FLAG_RESTARTING in rtw_ops_stop()
  with Fixes tag.
- In patch 2/2:
  - Count consecutive failures before triggering recovery
    (RTW_PS_HANG_MAX_CNT = 3).
  - Reset ps_hang_cnt on successful LPS leave and in rtw_core_start().
  - Suppress raw register dump on transient failures to avoid log spam.

[PATCH v3 1/2] wifi: rtw88: clear RTW_FLAG_RESTARTING in rtw_ops_stop()

[Kalpesh Solanki]

When mac80211 stops or suspends the device without WoWLAN,
drv_reconfig_complete() is never invoked with
IEEE80211_RECONFIG_TYPE_RESTART. If firmware recovery was queued or
running during this transition, RTW_FLAG_RESTARTING remains set
permanently, preventing all subsequent firmware recoveries until the
driver is reloaded.

Clear RTW_FLAG_RESTARTING in rtw_ops_stop() so that the driver always
starts with a clean recovery state when the interface is brought back
up.

[PATCH v3 2/2] wifi: rtw88: ps: trigger firmware recovery only after consecutive LPS leave failures

[Kalpesh Solanki]

A single timeout in rtw_fw_leave_lps_check() does not always indicate a
frozen firmware; in noisy RF environments or during beacon loss, the
802.11 null data frame ACK can be delayed or dropped. Immediately
triggering firmware recovery and a full hardware restart on a single
timeout causes unnecessary disconnections and kernel warning traces on
idle links.

Follow rtw89 by introducing a consecutive failure counter (ps_hang_cnt)
and only triggering rtw_fw_recovery() after RTW_PS_HANG_MAX_CNT (3)
consecutive failures. Reset the counter to 0 on every successful LPS
leave and in rtw_core_start() so that cold starts and hardware restarts
always begin with a clean slate. Suppress raw register dumps on
transient failures to prevent log flooding.

v3:
 - Replace previous single-timeout recovery with consecutive failure counter
   (RTW_PS_HANG_MAX_CNT = 3), mirroring rtw89.
 - Reset ps_hang_cnt on successful LPS leave and in rtw_core_start().
 - Suppress debug dump on transient failures to prevent log spam.
v2:
 - Rebase onto rtw-next.
