From: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add some comments about the TXWI fields and the TX_STA_FIFO register.
Especially describe the relationship between the TXWI field PACKETID
and the PID field in the TX_STA_FIFO register.

- * TX_STA_FIFO: TX Result for specific PID status fifo register
+ * TX_STA_FIFO: TX Result for specific PID status fifo register.
+ *
+ * This register is implemented as FIFO with 16 entries in the HW. Each
+ * register read fetches the next tx result. If the FIFO is full because
+ * it wasn't read fast enough after the according interrupt (TX_FIFO_STATUS)
+ * triggered, the hw seems to simply drop further tx results.
+ *
+ * VALID: 1: this tx result is valid
+ * 0: no valid tx result -> driver should stop reading
+ * PID_TYPE: The PID latched from the PID field in the TXWI, can be used
+ * to match a frame with its tx result (even though the PID is
+ * only 4 bits wide).
+ * TX_SUCCESS: Indicates tx success (1) or failure (0)
+ * TX_AGGRE: Indicates if the frame was part of an aggregate (1) or not (0)
+ * TX_ACK_REQUIRED: Indicates if the frame needed to get ack'ed (1) or not (0)
+ * WCID: The wireless client ID.
+ * MCS: The tx rate used during the last transmission of this frame, be it
+ * successful or not.
+ * PHYMODE: The phymode used for the transmission.
