[PATCH v2] ath9k: spectral - simplify max_index calculation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The max_index value provided in the spectral data set
has to be interpreted differently for HT20 and HT40.
In HT40, the value is given as unsigned index and
shall be taken as is, while in HT20 it is a signed
value around bin index 28 and needs to be converted
to an unsigned index.

This patch simplifies the previous correction and
prepares the related functions to be shared with
the DFS module.
