Hi,
Looks like at least drivers/net/wireless/ti wlcore driver has stopped
working in Linux next with commit 901bb9891855 ("nl80211: require and
validate vendor command policy"). Reverting the commit above makes it
work again.
It fails with the warning below, any ideas what goes wrong?
Oops. For some reason, I neglected to check the vendor command usage
beyond hwsim.
The patch below should work?
Yeah thanks that fixes the issue for me:
Tested-by: Tony Lindgren <t...@atomide.com>
Thanks, I'll drop that into my tree and hopefully will remember to send
it on soon.
Hi Johannes,
By chance noticed the patch included brcmfmac. So I tried, but I get
compile issue below. It is because ERR_PTR really is an inline function
so that is not working. So also need to patch that. I left the extra
braces around the error code although not strictly necessary.
Regards,
Arend
