The following commits: commitc815fdebef("wlcore: spi: Populate config firmware data") commitd776fc86b8("wlcore: sdio: Populate config firmware data") Populated the nvs entry for wilink6 and wilink7 only while it is still needed for wilink8 as well. This broke user space backward compatibility when upgrading from older kernels, as the alternate mac address would not be read from the nvs that is present in the file system (lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin) causing mac address change of the wlan interface. This patch fix this and update the structure field with the same default nvs file name that has been used before. In addition, some distros hold a default wl1271-nvs.bin in the file system with a bogus mac address (deadbeef...) that overrides the mac address that is stored inside the device. Warn users about this bogus mac address and use the internal mac address Fixes:c815fdebef("wlcore: spi: Populate config firmware data") Fixes:d776fc86b8("wlcore: sdio: Populate config firmware data") Signed-off-by: Eyal Reizer <eyalr@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Sebastian Reichel <sebastian.reichel@collabora.co.uk> Tested-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
