[PATCH v2] power: sequencing: qcom-wcn: explain why we need the WLAN_EN GPIO hack
From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Thu Jan 02 2025 - 07:15:41 EST
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>
With the recent rework of the PCI power control code, the workaround for
the wlan-enable GPIO - where we don't set a default (low) state in the
power sequencing driver, but instead request the pin as-is - should no
longer be needed but some platforms still fail to probe the WLAN
controller. This is caused by the Qcom PCIe controller and needs a
workaround in the controller driver so add a FIXME to eventually remove
the hack from this driver once this is done.
