WiFi module cannot work after certain suspend/resume process

Hi All,

I tested the NXP8997 module with suspend/resume process, for a certain cycles the wifi driver printed error, then it couldn't work.
Test steps are below:
1. Turn on DUT
2. Turn on Wifi/BT
3. wait 8 second, then suspend the DUT
4. wait 8 second, resume the DUT
5. back to the step 3

For a period of time, the wifi driver printed error message as below...
[ 4335.049255] wlan: IOCTL by signal ffff80007bb7b800 id=0x50000, sub_id=0x50002, wait_option=1, action=2

[ 4349.047295] 28

I also disabled power save mode(ps_mode=2 auto_ds=2) for suspend/resume and tested for a week, the system kept working.
This setting means the wifi module won't go to sleep while the system enters suspend which consumes more power than before(the previous setting is ps_mode=1 auto_ds=1).

Does NXP8997 support IEEE PS mode on Android 9?

Hi Amber, how did you download this driver? 'SD-WLAN-SD-BT-8997-U16-MMC-W16.68.10.p56-16.26.10.p56-C4X16667_V4-MGPL'? I'm unable to find it. Please advise.

Thank you!! Did you have to get special permission to download those files? Not sure how to get the correct permissions.
