From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx>
Hello all,
This pull request continue to clean up the wfx driver. It can be more or
less divided in four parts:
- 0001 to 0009 fix some issues (should be included in 5.5?)
- 0010 to 0028 mostly contains cosmetics changes
- 0029 to 0043 re-work power save (in station mode) and QoS
- 0044 to 0054 re-work the scan process
The last patch updates the TODO with a more precise list. I included
references to discussions I have had on mailing lists, in order to not
forget them. I started the first items of the list and I hope to be able
to send another (smaller) pull request in 2-3 weeks.
This series also try clarify the overall architecture:
,------------------------------------.
| mac80211 |
`------------------------------------'
,------------+-----------+-----------.
| sta | | |
| scan | | |
| main | | |
+------------+ data_tx | |
| key | | data_rx |
| hif_tx_mib | queue | |
| hif_tx | | |
| hif_rx | | |
| hif_api_* | | |
+------------+-----------+-----------+--------.
| bh | fwio |
| secure_link | |
+------------------------------------+--------+
| hwio |
+---------------------------------------------+
| bus_sdio |
| bus_spi |
| hwbus |
`---------------------------------------------'
,---------------------------------------------.
| sdio/spi |
+---------------------------------------------+
| hardware |
`---------------------------------------------'
It try to make a clear separation between functions that take care of
hardware communication (hif_*) and functions that work with mac80211
(sta.c and scan.c).
v2:
- Fix line ends
- Update TODO with Felix idea
- Add architecture schematics in cover letter
