Driver bcm43xx is being ported from using SoftMAC to mac80211. For rewiew,
this series of patches is being prepared; however, the final patch will be
a single entity so that compilation during bisection will not break.
The contents of the various pieces are as follows:
1. Kconfig, Makefile and the main header file.
2. bcm43xx_debugfs.c and bcm43xx_debugfs.h
3. bcm43xx_dma.c and bcm43xx_dma.h
4. bcm43xx_ilt.c, bcm43xx_ilt.h, bcm43xx_leds.c and bcm43xx_leds.h
5. bcm43xx_main.c and bcm43xx_main.h
6. bcm43xx_phy.c and bcm43xx_phy.h
7. bcm43xx_pio.c and bcm43xx_pio.h
8. bcm43xx_radio.c and bcm43xx_radio.h
9. bcm43xx_sysfs.c and bcm43xx_sysfs.h
10: bcm43xx_xmit.c and bcm43xx_xmit.h
In general, this port consists of taking the files bcm43xx_phy and
bcm43xx_radio from the softmac driver and converting them to work with
the files from the mac80211 version, which has been back-converted to
use V3 firmware.
I don't really want to review 10 huge patches that replace
X by Y. If the code works, fine. Go for it. You get my ACK, if it works
on the hardware where it matters. ;)
I was hoping this would be your response, but I had to make the effort. I'll wait for a couple of
days to see if anyone else has any comments and send it on to Linville and hope it ends up in -mm
fairly soon. It _DOES_ work on the hardware.
