Hi,
When upgrading my devel environment to 4.13-rc1+ I noticed that
the brcm43430 sdio wifi on a Chuwi Hi8 plus stopped working:
There is a fix for this:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9836383/
Sorry, ignore me - this was a fix for the other 4.13-rc1 regression.
Arend is looking into he other one. It affects me too.
It appears to be the firmware going astray.
It is still an enigma although admittedly I did not put much time in it
this week. The change below fixes it as the device goes haywire from
this command. At least this was reported by Stefan Wahren ("brcmfmac:
BCM43431 won't get probed on Raspberry Pi Zero W") on linux-wireless
mailing list. Still I can not explain it. Could be that there is not
enough free memory on the device.
As mentioned in my original mail, switching firmware version seems to
fix this. linux-firmware has:

Here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg164304.html
you write that the firmware in linux-firmware does not have the
gscan feature, the check for which is causing the issue, enabled,
could it be the other firmware build does have it enabled? It does seem
to have a bunch of extra things enabled. Maybe there simply is an error
in the error-handling in the firmware when it is disabled ?
I've put all firmware versions I have here:

Yeah. There are three patches currently in wireless tree, maybe also in netdev tree, which will probably be included in 4.13-rc4 fixing the issue below.

May or may not be useful, but we have just had a bug report on
Raspberry Pi that is filled with these mailbox messages. Don't seem to
be related to this scan issue, but the mailbox error is the same. I am
not enough of an expert on Wifi to really comment, or see whether this
patch would help.

Sorry, ignore me - this was a fix for the other 4.13-rc1 regression.
Arend is looking into he other one. It affects me too.
It appears to be the firmware going astray.
It is still an enigma although admittedly I did not put much time in it
this week. The change below fixes it as the device goes haywire from
this command. At least this was reported by Stefan Wahren ("brcmfmac:
BCM43431 won't get probed on Raspberry Pi Zero W") on linux-wireless
mailing list. Still I can not explain it. Could be that there is not
enough free memory on the device.
As mentioned in my original mail, switching firmware version seems to
fix this. linux-firmware has:

you write that the firmware in linux-firmware does not have the
gscan feature, the check for which is causing the issue, enabled,
could it be the other firmware build does have it enabled? It does seem
to have a bunch of extra things enabled. Maybe there simply is an error
in the error-handling in the firmware when it is disabled ?

Any movement on the mailbox issue would be good news for us, it's on
my list of things to investigate, and has been flagged up by Pi3/Pi0W
users as a possible cause/symptom of wireless issues. We have a
catchall thread for these issues here
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1342, with some extra
details but this particular mailbox error I've not been able to find a
way to reliably replicate so far. My Googling hadn't thrown up the
firmware version being relevant, which is a useful data point, along
with Arend's patch above. I should be able to take a bit more of a
look next week, so if anyone has a way of replicating on a Pi3 I'd
like to here about it.
James, Raspberry Pi.

It is still an enigma although admittedly I did not put much time in it
this week. The change below fixes it as the device goes haywire from
this command. At least this was reported by Stefan Wahren ("brcmfmac:
BCM43431 won't get probed on Raspberry Pi Zero W") on linux-wireless
mailing list. Still I can not explain it. Could be that there is not
enough free memory on the device.

Arend

Arend is looking into he other one. It affects me too. It appears to be the firmware going astray. -Ian
