FWIW the sky is the limit on issues you can have. You need to test. I doubt you will have any issues with no early suspend. (we don't use early suspend in our wifi drivers, i can't think of a use case for the wifi driver needing notification of screen on and off events)
WRT wake locks, it depends on your hardware. does it do the right things on suspend to ram? if so you don't care about wake locks. Will it fall over if suspend to ram happens at a bad time? then you may want to care about wake locks. I hate drivers using wake locks and feel they should only be used if there is a test case that fails without them being used. Test you device / code. then decide. --mark On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 11:30 AM, NIRAV SHAH <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to port a linux wifi 80211 driver + mac80211 to android.
