Just an idea: what prevents you to add a patch to that patchset that
reenables the amount of code you require from the CHAN_DEBUG stuff should
it be removed upstream?

Seconded, upstream should remove all the junk that it doesn't directly
need.

I actually don't have a problem with removing chan_debug, I was merely requesting that the size hack it enables not be removed.

More specifically in base.h I believe the code I specifically require is:

#if CHAN_DEBUG
#define ATH_CHAN_MAX    (26+26+26+200+200)
#else
#define ATH_CHAN_MAX    (14+14+14+252+20)
#endif


When removing chan_debug just please leave the higher max. To be honest I don't know for sure what this code means but since enabling it fixes my patch it is clearly required. There is no reason to be removing this as I am hoping to push a few patches upstream to properly support the capabilities of the hardware.

Thanks,
Rick
