[RFC PATCH] mwifiex: pcie: use shutdown_sw()/reinit_sw() on suspend/resume
From: Tsuchiya Yuto
Date: Wed Oct 28 2020 - 19:02:35 EST
On Microsoft Surface devices (PCIe-88W8897), there are issues with S0ix
achievement and AP scanning after suspend with the current Host Sleep
method.
When using the Host Sleep method, it prevents the platform to reach S0ix
during suspend. Also, sometimes AP scanning won't work, resulting in
non-working wifi after suspend.
To fix such issues, perform shutdown_sw()/reinit_sw() instead of Host
Sleep on suspend/resume.

As a side effect, this patch disables wakeups (means that Wake-On-WLAN
can't be used anymore, if it was working before), and might also reset
some internal states.
Of course it's the best to rather fix Host Sleep itself. But if it's
difficult, I'm afraid we have to go this way.
I reused the contents of suspend()/resume() functions as much as possible,
and removed only the parts that are incompatible or redundant with
shutdown_sw()/reinit_sw().
- Removed wait_for_completion() as redundant
mwifiex_shutdown_sw() does this.
- Removed flush_workqueue() as incompatible
Causes kernel crashing.
- Removed mwifiex_enable_wake()/mwifiex_disable_wake()
as incompatible and redundant because the driver will be shut down
instead of entering Host Sleep.
I'm worried about why flush_workqueue() causes kernel crash with this
suspend method. Is it OK to just drop it? At least We Microsoft Surface
devices users used this method for about one month and haven't observed
any issues.
Note that suspend() no longer checks if it's already suspended.
With the previous Host Sleep method, the check was done by looking at
adapter->hs_activated in mwifiex_enable_hs() [sta_ioctl.c], but not
MWIFIEX_IS_SUSPENDED. So, what the previous method checked was instead
Host Sleep state, not suspend itself.
Therefore, there is no need to check the suspend state now.
Also removed comment for suspend state check at top of suspend()
accordingly.
