Hi, Here's a set of patches to add support for the WiFi / Bluetooth chip on the CI20. WiFi works pretty well, provided it is used with the latest firmware provided by linux-firmware. Bluetooth does not work very well here, as I cannot get my wireless keyboard to pair; but it does detect it, and it does see they key presses when I type the pairing code. I only tested with a somewhat recent (~2022) Buildroot-based userspace. I enabled WEXT compatibility because the CI20 is typically used with a very old userspace, but I did not try to use it with old tools like ifconfig/iwconfig.

Thomas. -- Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a good idea. [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]

Hi Paul, I was in holidays and could not review this series earlier. > Am 04.06.2023 um 16:56 schrieb Paul Cercueil <paul@crapouillou.net>: > > Hi, > > Here's a set of patches to add support for the WiFi / Bluetooth chip on > the CI20. > > WiFi works pretty well, provided it is used with the latest firmware > provided by linux-firmware.

But I had quite some issues with this series. 1. I could not boot my CI20 V2a board after applying the full series to v6.4-rc6 2. bisecting failed because vcc_33v is used in a patch preceding its definition leading to DTC compile abort 3. after fixing I could bisect that "MIPS: DTS: CI20: Fix ACT8600 regulator node names" is the first bad commit - although I don't see immediately why So this series seems to be severely broken and I could not even come to a test of WiFi and/or Bluetooth which the series claims to support. Comments to some individual patches follow. Best regards and looking forward to a v2 for testing, Nikolaus > > Cheers, > -Paul > > Paul Cercueil (9): > MIPS: DTS: CI20: Fix regulators > MIPS: DTS: CI20: Fix ACT8600 regulator node names > MIPS: DTS: CI20: Add parent supplies to ACT8600 regulators ^^^ should IMHO be a separate series since it is not directly related to WiFi / Bluetooth > MIPS: DTS: CI20: Do not force-enable CIM and WiFi regulators > MIPS: DTS: CI20: Misc. cleanups ^^^ these two do not compile The Misc. cleanups do not belong to this topic. > MIPS: DTS: CI20: Parent MSCMUX clock to MPLL ^^^ this is only loosely related to Wifi / Bluetooth > MIPS: DTS: CI20: Enable support for WiFi / Bluetooth > MIPS: configs: CI20: Regenerate defconfig > MIPS: configs: CI20: Enable WiFi / Bluetooth > > arch/mips/boot/dts/ingenic/ci20.dts | 148 +++++++++++++++++++--------- > arch/mips/configs/ci20_defconfig | 47 ++++++--- > 2 files changed, 133 insertions(+), 62 deletions(-) > > -- > 2.39.2 >
