6.6 dmesg, working wifi (debugfs on)
It breaks somewhere between 6.5<->6.6, I can possibly do a bisect if necessary, but it will take some time. Thank you for the report!
Could you please try reverting this commit and see if it fixes the issue?

Patch to fix this posted here: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240805110225.19690-1-toke@toke.dk Can confirm that the above patch fixes it, tested on top of 6.6.44. You can add `Tested-by: Daniel Tobias <dan.g.tob@gmail.com>` if you'd like, it should maybe also be tagged for stable >=6.6. Thanks for the quick response! Confirmed fixed with the latest batch of stable patches (6.6.54) |
Created attachment 306659 [details] 6.6 dmesg, broken wifi Booting with debugfs=off breaks initialisation of Atheros AR9287. Was working previously with 6.1 kernel series. 6.6-6.10 kernels are broken (if debugfs is re-enabled, it DOES work correctly)
