Currently, the existing mac80211 callback functions are defined assuming
each link/radio is represented by a single mac80211 hw. In order to
support multi link operation (MLO), need to move from the multi wiphy
model to a single wiphy model. However, the single wiphy model allows
multiple link/radio to be exposed by the same mac80211 hw. Therefore, we
need to separate the link/radio specific handling within the mac80211
callback operations. This way, the callback can be extended to support
multiple link/radio in the future.

Karthikeyan Periyasamy (10):
   wifi: ath12k: Refactor mac callback of config
   wifi: ath12k: Refactor mac callback of bss info changed
   wifi: ath12k: Refactor mac callback of conf tx
   wifi: ath12k: Refactor mac callback of start
   wifi: ath12k: Refactor mac callback of stop
   wifi: ath12k: Refactor mac callback of update vif offload
   wifi: ath12k: Refactor mac callback of configure filter
   wifi: ath12k: Refactor mac callback of ampdu action
   wifi: ath12k: Refactor mac callback of flush
   wifi: ath12k: Refactor start vdev delay function
In the pending branch I renamed the patch titles like this, an example:

wifi: ath12k: refactor ath12k_mac_op_conf_tx()

Looks fine to me.


Thanks,

Karthikeyan
