Getting RAM info just once per driver's lifetime (during chip recognition) is not enough as it may get adjusted later (depending on the used firmware). Subsequent inits may load different firmwares so a full RAM recognition is required on every PCIe setup. This is especially important since implementing hardware reset on a firmware crash. Moreover calling brcmf_chip_get_raminfo() makes sure that RAM core is up. It's important as having BCMA_CORE_SYS_MEM down on BCM4366 was resulting in firmware failing to initialize and following error: [ 65.657546] brcmfmac 0000:01:00.0: brcmf_pcie_download_fw_nvram: Invalid shared RAM address 0x04000001 This change makes brcmf_chip_get_raminfo() call during chip recognition redundant for PCIe devices but SDIO and USB still need it and it's a very small overhead anyway.

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.
