This patch series is culmination of two month long activity for throughput enhancment which involved collecting multiple data points including multiple driver idle times, study of FW<->SDIO bus<->driver interaction and profiling and different approaches to overcoming current shortcomings in driver. For TX, we have tried to optimize data path and reduce delays incurred during scheduling of work items and idle timeout between TX write to FW and TX DONE from FW. For RX, this patch series adds a new type of aggregation- single port aggregation for SDIO. SP aggregation needs FW support and it would be enabled only when FW advertises support for SP aggregation. Our experiments show improvement of almost 30% in TX and 40% in RX on both X86 based and ARM based platforms.
