commit dac4df1c5f2c34903f61b1bc4fc722e31b4199e7 upstream. Newer firmware versions (such as iwlwifi-8000C-34.ucode) have introduced an API change in the SCAN_REQ_UMAC command that is not backwards compatible. The driver needs to detect and use the new API format when the firmware reports it, otherwise the scan command will not work properly, causing a command timeout. Fix this by adding a TLV that tells the driver that the new API is in use and use the correct structures for it. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197591 Fixes: d7a5b3e9e42e ("iwlwifi: mvm: bump API to 34 for 8000 and up") Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com> Cc: Thomas Backlund <tmb@mageia.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
