    wifi: wilc1000: set preamble size to auto as default in wilc_init_fw_config() · a8e5fefa
    Ajay Singh authored
    WILC driver currently applies some default configuration whenever the firmware
    is initialized, and sets the default preamble size to short. However, despite
    this passed option, firmware is also able to successfully connect to access
    points only using long preamble, so this setting does not really enforce short
    preambles and is misleading regarding applied configuration.
    
    Update default configuration and make it match the firmware behavior by passing
    the existing WILC_FW_PREAMBLE_AUTO value (2 instead of 0). The updated setting
    does not really alter firmware behavior since it is still capable to connect to
    both short preamble and long preamble access points, but at list the setting now
    expresses for real the corresponding firmware behavior.
    
    More info: it has been implemented to address the transmission (Tx) blackout
    issue observed in the 802.11b mode. The modification has no impact on the other
    modes, which will continue to work as they did in the previous implementation.
    This change will allow the 802.11b transmission (2, 5.5, 11Mbps) to use long
    preamble.
