Hang when up AP6256 Wifi module

DungTA98 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 19:12:00 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to port the AP6256 Wifi module to a board that uses i.MX 8M Mini.
When I use in kernel 4.9, wifi module works well. But I use it in kernel 5.15, it hang when I run

ifconfig wlan0 up

This is my log with kernel 4.9 (Wifi module works well)

It seems is the firmware and the driver issues. Please check with the wifi module supplier that the firmware could work on L5.15.

I think the driver have not issue. When I ran modprobe bcmdhd, the wifi module initialized fine.
