Dear all,

this commit (Upstream commit 51a73f1b2e56b0324b4a3bb8cebc4221b5be4c7) makes our WLE600 Compex wifi cards (qca988x based) unusable. Reverting the commit brings the wifi card back.

This was discovered on the v6.12.53 from today.

Beside reverting, how can we help fixing this?

Thank you Andreas for the report.

If this 100% repro?

Yes, on several boards, amd, armada-385 and imx6 based.

Can you try just ignore the err and see what we get? I am suspecting we are missing the interrupt for unified ready message.

•           goto err_hif_stop;
     }
  
     status = ath10k_core_compat_services(ar);
  

No changes.

Anyway, please help collect verbose ath10k log, you may enable verbose log by

modprobe ath10k_core debug_mask=0xffffffff modprobe ath10k_pci

I attached the compressed log, not sure if it is too big while uncompressed.

Thank you!

Andreas
