WIFI加电过程

1.  kernel/arch/arm/mach-xxx/Baord-product-xx.c 里面定义了wifi的平台设备 ，

static struct platform_device xx_wifi = {
	.name   = "bcm4330_wlan",
	.id	    = -1,
	.dev    = {
		.platform_data = &xx_wifi_control,
	},
};

厂商的驱动 是

static struct platform_driver wifi_device = {
	.probe          = wifi_probe,
	.remove         = wifi_remove,
	.suspend        = wifi_suspend,
	.resume         = wifi_resume,
	.driver         = {
	.name   = "bcm4330_wlan",
	}
};

首先，厂商的驱动在加载过程中会去 通过GPIO 给wlan芯片 上电.
然后，上面的驱动和设备，他们通过设备模型 match 成功（根据.name字段） 去调用wifi_probe，然后去调用 xx_wifi_set_carddetect

2. xx_wifi_set_carddetect 最中会调用mmc 里面的mmc_rescan, 给host 上电，sdio主要初始化主要工作是在mmc_attach_sdio()中完成, 匹配电压，分配mmc_card数据结构，然后吧该结构add 到bus

3. 经过mmc_rescan后，就有了sdio_funcs （是个device） 在设备模型中了，在wlan driver 的moudle init 时 dhd_module_init() --> dhd_bus_register(), 去注册 sdio_driver bcmsdh_sdmmc_driver, 这过程中，会吧 dhd_sdio {dhdsdio_probe,dhdsdio_disconnect } 注册，当sdio_driver和 sdio_funcs 匹配成功后，会去调用 bcmsdh_sdmmc_probe --> dhdsdio_probe

4.  dhdsdio_probe 会去，new net_device 和attach操作，吧该网络设备和wlan 设备绑定。注意这个时候 因为 dhd_download_fw_on_driverload == false，所以不会去调用 dhd_bus_start()

	/* if firmware path present try to download and bring up bus */
	if (dhd_download_fw_on_driverload && (ret = dhd_bus_start(bus->dhd)) != 0) {
		DHD_ERROR(("%s: dhd_bus_start failed\n", __FUNCTION__));
		if (ret == BCME_NOTUP)
			goto fail;
	}

FW 加载过程，

1.start supplicant之前 relaod fw, 通过moudle参数机制,吧fw 路径更新到下面sys 文件

/sys/module/wlan/parameters/fwpath

case CMD_START_SUPPLICANT:
                    try {
                        mNwService.wifiFirmwareReload(mInterfaceName, "STA");
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        loge("Failed to reload STA firmware " + e);
                        // continue
                    }
                   try {
                       //A runtime crash can leave the interface up and
                       //this affects connectivity when supplicant starts up.
                       //Ensure interface is down before a supplicant start.
                        mNwService.setInterfaceDown(mInterfaceName);
                        //Set privacy extensions
                        mNwService.setInterfaceIpv6PrivacyExtensions(mInterfaceName, true);
                    } catch (RemoteException re) {
                        loge("Unable to change interface settings: " + re);
                    } catch (IllegalStateException ie) {
                        loge("Unable to change interface settings: " + ie);
                    }

                    mSupConfig.checkSupplicantConf();

2. supplicant开启过程中,会去 open刚刚new的网络设备，最终会调用到dhd_open(), 真正去load fw.  dhdh_open() -> dhd_bus_start()

详细过程 wpa_supplicant_init_iface() --> wpa_drv_init() --> wpa_driver_nl80211_finish_drv_init() --> linux_set_iface_flags() --> ioctl(sock, SIOCSIFFLAGS, &ifr) ...... ...... >
dev_ifsioc() in dev.c  --> __dev_change_flags() --> __dev_open()
