[PATCH] mwifiex: Add quirk to disable deep sleep with certain hardware revision

From: Jonas Dreßler
Date: Thu Oct 28 2021 - 03:37:51 EST


The 88W8897 PCIe+USB card in the hardware revision 20 apparently has a
hardware issue where the card wakes up from deep sleep randomly and very
often, somewhat depending on the card activity, maybe the hardware has a
floating wakeup pin or something.

Those continuous wakeups prevent the card from entering host sleep when
the computer suspends. And because the host won't answer to events from
the card anymore while it's suspended, the firmwares internal
powersaving state machine seems to get confused and the card can't sleep
anymore at all after that.

Since we can't work around that hardware bug in the firmware, let's
get the hardware revision string from the firmware and match it with
known bad revisions. Then disable auto deep sleep for those revisions,
which makes sure we no longer get those spurious wakeups.
