[PATCH wireless v2] Revert "wifi: mwifiex: Fix HT40 bandwidth issue."
Posted by Francesco Dolcini 6 months, 2 weeks ago
From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@toradex.com>

This reverts commit 4fcfcbe457349267fe048524078e8970807c1a5b.

That commit introduces a regression, when HT40 mode is enabled,
received packets are lost, this was experience with W8997 with both
SDIO-UART and SDIO-SDIO variants. From an initial investigation the
issue solves on its own after some time, but it's not clear what is
the reason. Given that this was just a performance optimization, let's
revert it till we have a better understanding of the issue and a proper
fix.

Johannes seems to have applied this already, but FWIW:
