fix: replace pp_page_to_nmdesc with __netmem_get_pp for kernel >= 6.17#36
Conversation
pp_page_to_nmdesc() was removed from the kernel page_pool API in 6.17. The equivalent call in 6.17+ is: __netmem_get_pp(page_to_netmem(page)) Tested on Ubuntu 24.04 with kernel 6.17.0-23-generic and MT7902 PCIe (PCI ID 14c3:7902). The driver builds cleanly and the chip initialises fully (firmware loads, wlp2s0 appears, SSIDs visible). Fixes build error: mt76.h: error: implicit declaration of function 'pp_page_to_nmdesc'
- tests/check_api_compat.sh: verifies pp_page_to_nmdesc is absent, __netmem_get_pp/page_to_netmem are present, MT7902 PCI ID (0x7902) and firmware filenames are defined, and Makefile has module_compile. - .github/workflows/ci.yml: two jobs — static-checks (no headers needed) and build (installs linux-headers-generic-hwe-24.04, builds out-of-tree modules, verifies all 5 .ko files and MT7902 PCI ID in mt7921e.ko).
