This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
cosmic' to 'verification-done-cosmic'. If the problem still exists,
change the tag 'verification-needed-cosmic' to 'verification-failed-
cosmic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  Support Edge Gateway's WIFI LED

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Cosmic:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  == Impact ==
  The WIFI LED of Marvell 88W8897 is not enabled by default (there's no code 
for controlling LED in mwifiex). It is requested to be ON and OFF when the 
radio is on and off accordingly.

  == Fix ==
  The LEDs are connected to GPIO pins on the Marvell WiFi/Bluetooth combo 
module, thus they can only be controlled via firmware.

  == Test Case ==
  # ifconfig wlan0 [on|off]
  and see if the LEDs work properly.

  == Risk of Regression ==
  PCI sub IDs of the host bridge are used to determine if we're really running 
on an Edge Gateway, and we already have these patches in Xenial kernels quite a 
while. Risk should be reasonably low.
