Listed below > > - report ACK for tx frames not have IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS, > otherwise they will be marked as "drop" > - add more rf register write protection for patch "rtw88: add a delay > after writing a rf register" > Hi Kalle, Can I ask that when will this patch set probably be applied into your tree? Thanks! Yan-Hsuan
