commit 1598bfa8e1faa932de42e1ee7628a1c4c4263f0a upstream. After upgrading BIOS to U82 01.02.01 Rev.A, the console is flooded strange char "^@" which printed out every second and makes login nearly impossible. Also the below messages were shown both in console and journal/dmesg every second: usb 1-3: Device not responding to setup address. usb 1-3: device not accepting address 4, error -71 usb 1-3: device descriptor read/all, error -71 usb usb1-port3: unable to enumerate USB device Wifi is soft blocked by checking rfkill. When unblocked manually, after few seconds it would be soft blocked again. So I was suspecting something triggered rfkill to soft block wifi. At the end it was fixed by removing hp_wmi module. The root cause is the way hp-wmi driver handles command 1B on post-2009 BIOS. In pre-2009 BIOS, command 1Bh return 0x4 to indicate that BIOS no longer controls the power for the wireless devices.

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.
