In some cases the EFI-var stored nvram contains "ccode=ALL" or "ccode=XV" to specify "worldwide" compatible settings, but these 2 ccode-s do not work properly. I've tested the different known "worldwide" ccode-s used in various nvram sources with the latest firmwares from linux-firmware for various brcmfmac models, here is a simplified (*) table with what each setting results in: ALL: 12-14 disab, U-NII-1, U-NII-2 no-IR/radar, U-NII-3 XV: 12-14 no-IR, disables all 5G channels XY: 12-13 enab, 14 disab, U-NII-1 enab, U-NII-2 no-IR/radar, U-NII-3 disab X2: 12-13 no-IR, 14 dis, U-NII-1 no-IR, U-NII-2 no-IR/radar, U-NII-3 no-IR Where 12,13,14 are 2.4G channels 12-14 and U-NII-1/2/3 are the 3 different 5G channel groups. no-IR is no-Initiate-Radiation, we will never send on these channels without first having received valid wifi traffic there. This immediately shows that both ALL and XV are not as worldwide as we want them to be. ALL causes channels 12 and 13 to not be available and XV causes all 5GHz channels to not be available. Also ALL unconditionally enables the U-NII-1 and U-NII-3 5G groups, while we really should be using no-IR for these. This commit replace XV and ALL with X2, which allows usage of chan 12-13 and 5G channels, but only after receiving valid wifi traffic there first. Note that this configure the firmware's channel limits, the kernels own regulatory restrictions based on e.g. regulatory info received from the access-point, will be applied on top of this. This fixes channels 12+13 not working on the Asus T200TA and the Lenovo Mixx 2 8 and 5G channels not working on the Asus T100HA. This has been tested on the following models: Acer Iconia Tab8 w1-810, Acer One 10, Asus T100CHI, Asus T100HA, Asus T100TA, Asus T200TA and a Lenovo Mixx 2 8. *) There are some exceptions to this table: 1) On really old firmware e.g. linux-firmware's 2011 brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin ALL really means all, unconditionally enabling everything 2) The exact meaning might be influenced by setting the regrev nvram var. Specifically using ccode=XV + regrev=1 on brcmfmac43241b4 leads to: 12-14 no-ir, U-NII-1 no-ir, U-NII-2 no-ir/radar, U-NII-3 no-ir But only on the brcmfmac43241b4 and not on e.g. the brcmfmac43340 Tested-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
