From 5c1c3e2a7693c5e47a7d93898ade1acaac2afb38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjorn Andersson Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2021 14:53:00 -0700 Subject: arm64: defconfig: Disable firmware sysfs fallback Part of the enablement of SDMA on the IMX platforms, '7f4e4afa140c ("arm64: defconfig: Enable SDMA on i.mx8mq/8mm")' also enabled CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK, to allow "firmware loaded by udev". Unfortunately having the fallback enabled does, due to the 60 second timeout, essentially requiring userspace to provide a firmware loader. But systemd dropped the support for this interface back in 2014 and because arm64 is the only architecture that has this enabled, there doesn't seem to be any standard solution available. Examples of this problem can be found in e.g. the ath10k driver, which with a standard distro can take about 10 minutes before wlan0 appears. The alternative to this patch would be to change these drivers to use firmware_request_direct(), to avoid the sysfs fallback. But that would prevent other systems, such as Android, to rely on a userspace firmware loader to pick the firmware from a non-standard place, with just a custom defconfig. This patch therefor attempts to align the arm64 defconfig will all other architectures in the upstream kernel.
