from patchwork.kernel.org:
The linux-firmware brcmfmac firmware files contain an embedded table with
per country allowed channels and strength info.
These versions of the firmware are specially build for linux-firmware,
the firmware files directly available from Broadcom / Cypress rely on
a separate clm_blob file for this info.
For some unknown reason Broadcom / Cypress refuse to provide the standard
firmware files + clm_blob files it uses elsewhere for inclusion into
linux-firmware, instead relying on these special builds with the clm_blob
info embedded. This means that the linux-firmware firmware versions often
lag behind, but I digress.
The brcmfmac driver does support the separate clm_blob file and always
tries to load this. Currently we use request_firmware for this. This means
that on any standard install, using the standard combo of linux-kernel +
linux-firmware, we will get a warning:
"Direct firmware load for ... failed with error -2"
On top of this, brcmfmac itself prints: "no clm_blob available (err=-2),
device may have limited channels available" and we will get a slow
fallback to the userspace firmware loading mechanism.
This commit fixes both almost any brcmfmac device logging the warning
(leaving the brcmfmac info message in pace), as well as the slow and
unnecesary fallback by switching to request_firmware_direct for
the clm_blob.
With setting sdio_wq_highpri=1 in module parameters, tasks submitted to
SDIO workqueue will put at the head of the queue and run immediately.
This parameter is for getting higher TX/RX throughput with SDIO bus.

For legacy chips without CLM blob files, kernel with user helper function
returns -EAGAIN when we request_firmware(), and then driver got failed
when bringing up legacy chips. We expect the CLM blob file for legacy chip
is not existence in firmware path, but the -ENOENT error is transferred to
-EAGAIN in firmware_class.c with user helper.
Because of that, we continue with CLM data currently present in firmware
if getting error from doing request_firmware().

FMAC driver need to provide a dummy wowlan filter for kernel and
provided the well configured wowlan stack. So the system will
keep driver in connected state in suspend mode and can be wake
up by ping packet.
Enable unicast packet filter before system suspend and
disable it after resume.

The firmware for brcmfmac devices includes information regarding
regulatory constraints. For certain devices this information is kept
separately in a binary form that needs to be downloaded to the device.
This patch adds support to download this so-called CLM blob file. It
uses the same naming scheme as the other firmware files with extension
of .clm_blob.
The CLM blob file is optional. If the file does not exist, the download
process will be bypassed. It will not affect the driver loading.

Using pr_err for things which are not errors is a bad idea. E.g. it
will cause the plymouth bootsplash screen to drop back to the text
console so that the user can see the error, which is not what we
normally want to happen.
Instead add a new brcmf_info macro and use that.

Country code configuration in a device is a device specific
operation. For this the country code as specified by reg notifier
(iso3166 alpha2) needs to be translated to a device specific
country locale and revision number. This patch adds this
translation and puts a placeholder in the device specific settings
where the translation table can be stored. Additional patches will
be needed to read these tables from for example device platform
data.
