iwlwifi: pnvm: pretend to have loaded pnvm file on 5.10 bsp #60

Closed nyanmisaka closed 1 year ago

The pnvm file will reappear when updating armbian-firmware-full or linux-firmware.

"Fix" it in the kernel to save users the hassle of having to remove it manually.

This should be a better solution for Intel AX210 users, before the 6.1 LTS kernel comes.

So pnvm firmware will never get loaded. Does this has side effect on other wireless cards?

amazingfate commented 1 year ago

AX211 and AX411 also need to load pnvm firmware, do they have the same issue as AX210? Maybe we can only bypass pnvm_load for AX210 by trans->cfg->name == "Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX210 160MHz".

AX211 and AX411 are only supported on intel x86 processors via CnVi interface. They are not available on Rockchip platforms.

I have no idea about the failed CI. It builds fine locally.

Nevermind that fails because of lacking upload permission, kernel build is successful.
