Hello,

I recently got a "Khadas VIM Pro" (see [0] for more information)
The "Pro" version comes with an AP6255 wifi chipset.
Looking at the vendor firmware this seems to be a bcm43455 device: [1]

To my surprise brcmfmac from a mainline 4.10-rc3 kernel did not pick
this device up.
So I started investigating:
$ grep "" /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2\:0001/mmc2\:0001\:*/{class,device,vendor}
/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:1/class:0x00
/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:2/class:0x00
/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:3/class:0x02
/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:1/device:0xa9bf
/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:2/device:0xa9bf
/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:3/device:0xa9bf
/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:1/vendor:0x02d0
/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:2/vendor:0x02d0
/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001/mmc2:0001:3/vendor:0x02d0

I then went ahead and added the device ID to
drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/bcmsdh.c (sample
patch attached)
as a result of that the device is now being detected.
it boots fine with the firmware found in linux-firmware: [2] (plus the
nvram.txt from the vendor repo [1] renamed to brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt)

$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/brcmfmac/mmc2\:0001\:1/revinfo
vendorid: 0x14e4
deviceid: 0x43ab
radiorev: 0.88.3.11
chipnum: 17221 (4345)
chiprev: 6
chippkg: 2
corerev: 54
boardid: 0x06e4
boardvendor: 0x14e4
boardrev: P304
driverrev: 7.45.18
ucoderev: 0
bus: 0
phytype: 11
phyrev: 20
anarev: 0
nvramrev: 00079ac5

downloading a random 100MB file from the internet using curl confirms this.
There are no hangs, connection drops, other devices are also working fine.

the problem I'm facing is very simply (but unfortunately a very common
development problem): naming things (the SDIO_DEVICE_ID_BROADCOM_TODO
constant)!
there's already a definition for SDIO_DEVICE_ID_BROADCOM_4345 with
value 0x4345, does that mean 0xa9bf should be
SDIO_DEVICE_ID_BROADCOM_43455?


Regards,
Martin

Yup. That seems a good name to me.
