Dear all,
This is a request to backport b7dc7205b2ae6b6c9d9cfc3e47d6f08da8647b10 (Arm: dts: imx6qdl-sr-som-ti: indicate powering off wifi is safe), already in Linus tree (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/ar...) to LTS kernel 5.4 and to stable 5.6.8.
Reasoning:
Changes to the wlcore driver during Kernel 5.x development, made the Cubox-i with the IMX SOM v1.5 (which includes.a TI Wilink 8 wifi chipset) not power the wireless interface on boot leaving it completely unusable. This happens since at least kernel 5.3 (older one I tested) and affects the current stable and LTS latest kernels. The linked commit, already in linux mainline, restores the wifi functionality.
Thanks in advance,
Now queued up, thanks.
