staging: rtl8723bs: Move wiphy setup to after reading the regulatory settings from the chip
Commit 81f153faacd0 ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix wireless regulatory API
misuse") moved the wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory() call to earlier in the
driver's init-sequence, so that it gets called before wiphy_register().
But at this point in time the eFuses which code the regulatory-settings
for the chip have not been read by the driver yet, causing
_rtw_reg_apply_flags() to set the IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED flag on *all*
channels.
On the device where I initially tested the fix, a Jumper EZpad 7 tablet,
this does not cause any problems because shortly after init the
rtw_reg_notifier() gets called fixing things up. I guess this happens
into response to receiving a (broadcast) packet with regulatory info
from the access-point ?
But on another device with a RTL8723BS wifi chip, an Acer Switch 10E
(SW3-016), the rtw_reg_notifier() never gets called. I assume that some
fuse has been set on this device to ignore regulatory info received from
access-points.
This means that on the Acer the driver is stuck in a state with all
channels disabled, leading to non working Wifi.
We cannot move the wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory() call back, because
that call must be made before the wiphy_register() call.
Instead move the entire rtw_wdev_alloc() call to after the Efuses have
been read, fixing all channels being disabled in the initial channel-map.
